A fund raise and a company raise are two different jobs.
Luxembourg sees both. A sponsor launching a vehicle and a company seeking growth capital face the same investors' questions in different forms, and the preparation is where either one is won.
Why raises slow down
Most stalled processes trace back to the same few things:
Assumptions that do not survive
It stands until an investor moves a single assumption, and then the answers run out.
Documents gathered in a hurry
Which tells the investor exactly how the manager or the company is run when nobody is watching.
The vehicle is chosen before the strategy
Whether to launch a regulated fund or a reserved one is settled by habit, and the investors' needs come second.
Partners raising on top of the day job
The partners run the raise alongside the business, and both suffer.
A fractional CFO who has been through a raise takes the process off the partners: model, pack, data room, diligence and the questions nobody has yet asked. The brief can be a fund or a company, and we match for whichever it is.
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 a Luxembourg raise
Investors deal with your CFO. Behind that, we hold the brief and the governance until the raise closes.
Following the process
We track the raise with you and the CFO and say early if the pack, the model or the timetable starts to lag.
Fund and company experience
A side letter, a vehicle question or a lender's term can go to peers in our collective of 800+ who have raised both funds and company rounds.
The raise does not restart
If the CFO must leave mid-process, the papers and history of the raise go straight into a new search, and we run the changeover.
Matched to the raise
We match for the type of raise, fund or company, and for investors in the countries you are approaching.
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.
