We are truly entrepreneurs and understand their needs and
aspirations. We have already led many new initiatives.
We focus on what is necessary for you, we do not do work for the sake of doing it
Pragmatic
We help startup founders better prepare, negotiate and raise funds in order to level the playing field with investors. It is a win-win situation: if startups are better equipped for their fundraising, investors gain time (and possibly money too).
From our experience, when a startup raises capital, they have to deal with more risks than other companies because there is asymmetry between founders and investors at two levels:
Asymmetry of knowledge:
by the nature of their jobs, investors have experience in deal making. When they negotiate with founders, they have a clear edge.
Investors diversify their risks. They know that out of 10 startups they invest in, 5 may go bankrupt, 3-4 do just average and 1 becomes a hit. Unfortunately, for the founders of a startup, diversification is not an option. Plus, they have most of the time an emotional bond with their startup, their baby.
As part of Deminornxt, we leverage more than 30 years of expertise in financial, legal and corporate governance matters. With a combined approach we serve startups and scale ups.
