What Is Access To Capital

DropJaw Ventures’ Access To Capital service helps you to secure funding from companies and investors, investing anything from £25,000 to £5,000,000. We help get your business ready so that when an investor looks at your business, they see a viable business to invest in.

By spending time in the business, we are able to understand and enhance all your processes and the narrative around it. This allows us to put a business plan and forecast together, find funders, approach potential investors and negotiate stronger investment terms on your behalf.

We often invest our own money in to the business and work, in a non-executive capacity, to drive it forward.

Our Investor Readiness Approach

As funding consultants, it’s our job to get your business investor ready, this includes:

Preparation of a pitch deck including full financial projections and narrative. Investors need to read your deck and believe your business will be profitable and that someone will want to buy it one day. We make the deck as clear and concise as possible. We work with you to get the essence of your brand across, not resorting to business jargon. There are no hard and fast rules but here are the things we think you should cover:
1. Proposition: What is it? (you wouldn’t believe how often people miss this out) Who’s it for? What is the problem it solves? USPs?
2. People: Who are you? What is your experience?
3. Opportunity: Size of opportunity? Main competition? Why will you win?
4. Numbers: Cost to make? Making money today? Material assets/liabilities so far? How big do you think you can get it?
5. Plans: How will you: Develop it? Make it? Market it? Sell it?
6. Investment: How much investment do you want? What will you do with it? How will we realise value?

We help the team prepare for the growth journey, ensuring those that will be involved in the diligence during the fund-raising activities can manage that process swiftly and professionally so as not to jeopardise the potential funding
We work at the forefront of the fundraising process by selecting and approaching potential investors which match your current state of maturity, investor readiness, vertical sector, geographical location and amount/ type of funding required
We attend and support the pitch
We complete the pitch follow up with the investors and provide you with a debrief
We will work with shareholders, management and legal advisors on mutual due diligence and closure of the funding.
