The Challenge: Developing Equity Story for Investors

The client, a high growth start-up in the UK, had ambitious plans for market penetration and product diversification. To raise capital for business expansion, an attractive equity story was needed to showcase the start-up’s growth potential to investors and banking partners.

The co-founders recognized that a successful fundraising would rely heavily on the ability to effectively communicate the start-up’s vision. To avoid missed market opportunities due to lack of investor interest, the co-founder enlisted the help of aΒ growth strategy consultantto develop a robust equity story.

Role of Consultport

ConsultportΒ proposed 3 top consultants within 24 hours. The client interviewed all candidates and selected a former consultant at McKinsey with extensive experience driving growth at start-ups and communicating with investors. The consultant joined the client’s team within 72 hours of the initial request.

The Approach

The consultantΒ conducted in-depth market researchΒ to gain insights into the industry landscape and investor sentiments. Based on the findings, a well-articulated Unique Selling Proposition (USP) and detailed customer personas were developed.

IncorporatingΒ financial modelingΒ andΒ valuation techniques, the consultant performed detailed evaluation of the start-up’s financial performance and growth projections.

The Results

The compelling equity story built with the co-founders resonated strongly with investors, driving fundraising success and reinforcing the start-up’s long-term growth potential.
