Growth Capital Advisory

Strategic Support for Equity and Debt Financing

Whether you're considering Series B/C, evaluating debt options, or deciding between raising and optimising for profitability — we help founders think through capital strategy and access institutional networks.

We support both equity and debt financing — leveraging 15+ years across growth equity and institutional debt markets.

Equity Capital Advisory

  • → Raise Series B/C vs. optimise for profitability vs. explore M&A?

    → Runway modeling, dilution scenarios, timing analysis

    → Inflection point identification — what milestone unlocks next stage?

  • → Pitch deck strategy and story arc (substance, not design)

    → Financial model framing that supports your narrative

    → Unit economics positioning and path to profitability

    → Why this founder, this market, this moment

  • → Investor targeting (15–25 growth equity investors, quality over quantity)

    → Preparation for investor conversations and tough questions

    → Warm introductions through UK, DACH, GCC and US networks

    → Term sheet evaluation support (strategic framing, not legal advice)

  • → Board advisory role helping deploy capital effectively

    → Operating plan execution through inflection point

    → Milestone tracking and next-round positioning

  • "I've raised equity and debt myself and worked at companies that raised multiple rounds. I understand what investors look for at different stages — from both sides of the table."

Debt Capital Advisory

  • Most growth-stage fintechs overlook debt or structure it poorly, creating covenant problems later.

    Our debt investment background means we understand credit from the lender's perspective.

    → Venture debt vs. revenue-based finance vs. credit facilities

    → Debt-to-equity ratio optimisation for your growth stage

    → Cash flow scenario planning and covenant implications

    → When debt makes sense (and when it doesn't)

  • → Credit narrative development — how lenders evaluate fintech risk

    → Financial covenant negotiation strategy

    → Term sheet evaluation from credit perspective

    → Preparation for lender conversations and due diligence

  • → UK and European venture debt providers

    → Revenue-based finance platforms

    → Specialty fintech lenders and alternative credit sources

    → Traditional lending facilities for profitable businesses

  • "Most advisors only understand equity. Stevan helped us see that £2M in venture debt could extend our runway 18 months without dilution — giving us time to hit a new revenue KPI and completely change our Series B negotiating position."

Cross-Border Capital Access

  • Many US investors actively seek UK and European fintech companies — but most founders don't know how to position for this audience.

    → Which US VCs actually back European companies

    → US investor narrative development (they evaluate differently)

    → Warm introductions to US fintech-focused VCs

    → Strategic positioning for US growth equity

    We leverage our global investor network and 15+ years of cross-border capital markets experience.

  • → Swiss and German VC and family office introductions

    → Switzerland banking networks

    → Cross-border deal structuring and investor expectations

  • → Saudi Arabia VC introductions

    → Saudi Arabia and Qatar business networks

    → Cross-border deal structuring and investor expectations
