Put the funding plan together before you ask anyone.
Dutch companies fund growth from banks, regional development companies, growth investors and their own cash. The best plans weigh them together and tell one story.
Where funding plans stall
Across Dutch companies raising capital the same few things appear:
Funding sources are weighed one at a time
A bank line, a regional fund and a growth round arranged separately, with terms that collide.
The model does not reconcile
The deck says one thing about revenue, the bank statement another, and the accounts a third.
The owner sits on both sides
The DGA is the shareholder, the director and the guarantor, and the structure needs to be explained before it is accepted.
Everything runs through the founder
Every meeting, follow-up and diligence request ends up with the one person who is also running the company.
A fractional executive readies the company for the questions it will face and runs the process: the model, the data room and the answers. The choice of funder is yours. The work is that you are ready at the moment you choose.
Who this is for, and who it is not
Best for
- Preparing for a funding round in the next three to six months
- A data room or financial model that will not survive diligence
- Gaps in investor reporting, cap table or board resolutions
- A founder carrying every financial question personally
- Numbers and investor narrative that do not yet line up
Not for
- A business with no revenue or traction to diligence yet
- A one-off pitch deck or investor slide design
- A team that wants a document produced, not a leader embedded
- A round already closed that needs only bookkeeping
Our part in the raise
Funders deal with your executive. We work behind the scenes, keeping the brief, the governance and the collective around the process.
Through to the signature
We review the process with you and your executive as it runs, and say so when the timetable or the model starts to slip.
Debt and equity both covered
A bank covenant or a regional fund's terms may be new to your executive; colleagues in our collective of 800+ have negotiated both.
No lost momentum
A raise cannot stall for a change of person. If your executive has to go, we restart the search with the funding file in hand and lead the handover.
Matched to the owner
We match for the funding route and for the owner's way of working. A DGA who is also the guarantor needs a CFO they trust completely.
From gap to investor-ready
Calibrated to your round timeline.
Fundraise assessment
We assess your current financial infrastructure, identify gaps, and calibrate to your round timeline.
CFO deployment
Your matched Fractional CFO is embedded within two weeks and begins building investor-grade infrastructure.
Fundraise preparation
Financial model, data room, board pack, governance, built and stress-tested before you enter conversations.
Round support and post-close
Your CFO stays through the round and transitions to execution mode. Reporting infrastructure, milestone tracking, and board presence.
Before, during and after the round
What a fractional CFO owns at each stage of a raise.
A fractional CFO leads every fundraise
Most raises need only the CFO. When diligence probes operations or technology, a COO or CTO joins from the same collective.
