Growth Capital

Rounds, notes and sponsor equity.

We paper the capital that takes a company to the next stage: priced rounds, convertible notes, sponsor equity, and the governance that arrives attached to all of them.

Scope

Founders usually meet us at the term sheet, when the numbers look settled and the control terms have not been read closely. We translate the document into what it means on an exit, negotiate the handful of clauses that carry real weight, and leave the rest alone.

Priced Rounds

Preference, participation and the anti-dilution ratchet decide who gets what on a sale, long before valuation does. We model the waterfall against your term sheet so the founders can see the outcome they are agreeing to.

Notes and Bridges

Bridge paper is quick to sign and hard to unwind. We keep the discount, the cap and the maturity consistent across a note round so the next equity financing does not open with a cleanup exercise.

Sponsor Equity and Governance

Board composition, reserved matters and information rights follow the money. We negotiate the schedule that governs the next three years of decisions, not only the cheque that clears this month.
