Yes. Strong decks rest on credible research, so we research your industry, market, and competitive landscape as part of our standard process. The depth scales with the package - anything from validating your existing numbers to full bottom-up market sizing and competitor mapping.
We prefer bottom-up sizing wherever possible - building market size from realistic assumptions about customers, pricing, and reach - because investors find it more defensible than top-down figures pulled from an industry report. We’ll work with you on the underlying logic and cite sources clearly.
Yes. We identify direct and adjacent competitors, map their positioning, and design a competitive landscape slide (matrix, quadrant, or feature comparison - whichever best frames your edge). The goal is honest differentiation, not a slide that conveniently puts you in the top right corner.
We use a combination of reputable industry reports (Gartner, Statista, IDC, McKinsey, sector-specific publications), government and regulatory sources, public company filings, primary interviews where relevant, and your own internal data. Every figure on a slide should have a source we can defend.
We can pull together comparable transactions, recent fundraises in your space, and public-market comps to help frame valuation conversations. We don’t set your valuation - that’s a decision for you and your advisors —-but we help you walk into the room with informed reference points.
Yes, on an advisory basis. We can help you build a target list based on stage fit, sector focus, check size, and recent activity - and shape your narrative to resonate with each segment of that list. Founders who tailor their pitch to the investor on the other side of the table close faster.
