How it works

From first call to funded, without the guesswork.

Four steps, and an honest read at every one. Here's exactly what working with David looks like, from the first conversation to a signed deal.

01

The intake → first call

First call

A direct read on whether we can help.

You've already done the intake, so David walks in knowing your situation. The call is short and honest, what you're really trying to do, and whether he's the right person to help you do it.

You leave with
A straight answer on fit, and the shape of a plan, if there is one.
Typically
Within days of your intake.
02

Story & numbers

Positioning

Built to move the right people.

Before anyone sees your company, we sharpen how it's presented, the narrative, the materials, and the financial story that investors and buyers actually respond to.

You leave with
Investor-ready materials and a clear plan for the raise or the deal.
Typically
A few weeks, depending on where your numbers start.
03

Access

The room

Introductions to the people who matter.

This is where a career on Wall Street pays off. David opens doors to the right investors, buyers, or partners, and he's in the room for the conversations that decide things.

You leave with
Real meetings with the right people, not a list of names to chase.
Typically
Ongoing, until the right conversations are happening.
04

The close

Terms & close

Negotiated, diligenced, done.

When there's real interest, the work turns to terms. David runs the negotiation and the diligence with the instincts of someone who has sat on the institutional side, and drives it to a signature.

You leave with
The round closed or the deal done, on terms you actually understand.
Typically
Weeks to months, every deal is its own animal.

How long does it really take?

Honestly, it depends on your company and the market. A clean raise can come together in weeks; a complex sale can run months. What we won't do is waste your time pretending otherwise.

The one constant: it all starts with a short intake. That's what gets you onto David's calendar in the first place.

The whole thing starts with one call.

Do the intake, and the first conversation starts from a real place, not square one.
