Raise on the strength of the plan, not the pitch.
Companies here raise from shareholders, strategic partners, lenders and private investors. Each wants the same thing: a clear plan, a defensible budget and a team that reports honestly.
Where raises struggle
The asset is worth funding. The preparation lags behind it:
A budget built on hope
Drilling, development or construction costs are estimated once, and the first overrun unsettles the funder.
Runway nobody can state
The company cannot say, with confidence, how long the money lasts under each plan.
Reporting that confuses the market
Technical, financial and investor messages disagree, and the questions come from every direction.
The raise stops the work
The people who run the project spend months with investors instead.
A fractional executive prepares the company for the process: the budget, the cash runway, the disclosure and the governance. During the raise they carry the detail so the people running the project can keep running it.
Who this is for, and who it is not
Best for
- Preparing for a funding round in the next three to six months
- A data room or financial model that will not survive diligence
- Gaps in investor reporting, cap table or board resolutions
- A founder carrying every financial question personally
- Numbers and investor narrative that do not yet line up
Not for
- A business with no revenue or traction to diligence yet
- A one-off pitch deck or investor slide design
- A team that wants a document produced, not a leader embedded
- A round already closed that needs only bookkeeping
Ready before the market opens
We match the executive who prepares the company, then stay close until the raise is in and the budget has been tested by its first quarter.
Watching the budget, not just the deck
We review progress at set points through the raise, and say early when the budget or the runway story is not ready for the market.
Second opinions from the collective
Your executive can test the drilling budget, the model or the disclosure with others in our collective of 800+ who have raised in the resources sector.
The raise is not tied to one person
We keep the brief and the preparation on file. If the executive leaves mid-raise, we search again from it and look after the handover.
Matched to the asset and the funder
An explorer, a developer and a contractor raise in different ways. We match to the asset and the funder you are approaching.
From gap to investor-ready
Calibrated to your round timeline.
Fundraise assessment
We assess your current financial infrastructure, identify gaps, and calibrate to your round timeline.
CFO deployment
Your matched Fractional CFO is embedded within two to three weeks and begins building investor-grade infrastructure.
Fundraise preparation
Financial model, data room, board pack, governance, built and stress-tested before you enter conversations.
Round support and post-close
Your CFO stays through the round and transitions to execution mode. Reporting infrastructure, milestone tracking, and board presence.
Before, during and after the round
What a fractional CFO owns at each stage of a raise.
A fractional CFO leads every fundraise
Most raises need only the CFO. When diligence probes operations or technology, a COO or CTO joins from the same collective.
