Putting a price on all that hard work…we know it’s tough. But grabbing investors’ attention requires you showing them what your startup/scaleup is really worth. A big part of that is understanding how startups get valued, and one of the main things to think about: price vs value.

Valuing your business and raising capital is about gaining the funding you need to keep moving forward with your startup/scaleup. But you also want to secure the right investors at the right time. Beyond just capital, the real game-changer is tapping into a large network of investors, who bring strategic value to your business, all while keeping a clean cap table. Somebody send us an angel! (syndicate)… A tasty financial injection and a network of experienced backers who can offer mentorship, industry connections, and strategic advice. Sounds amazing? We agree, so lets explore more about how utilising an angel syndicate could supercharge your network.👇

A whopping 90% cap tables are wrong, which sounds massive but it only takes that one tiny error.

Sometimes you’ll be eligible for the Research & Development Tax Incentive (or RDTI for short), but you just can’t afford to wait for the next tax cycle. If this is where you are at – it’s worth considering R&D financing (aka R&D lending or forward funding). Let’s get stuck into what it is and how/where you can get it.
