For founders planning to raise £250,000 - £2,000,000 in the next 3 to 12 months. Most first raises fail on preparation, not on the idea. Investors say no to muddled stories, missing numbers and data rooms that stall due diligence. I make sure none of that happens to you.

What we do together:

• Story and positioning. Sharpen your narrative so an investor gets it in 30 seconds: the problem, why you, why now.

• Raise plan. How much you're raising, at what valuation, from whom, on what timeline, with the milestones the money unlocks.

• Core assets. A pitch deck that lands, a one-pager that gets forwarded, and financials that hold up to questioning.

• Investor-grade data room. Organised, complete, and ready to be shared.

• SEIS/EIS and tax reliefs. Advance assurance sorted and the reliefs UK angels expect in place before you pitch.

• Targeting and outreach. A shortlist of investors who actually back your stage and sector, warm intros where I have them, and prep for the meetings including mock Q&A.

• Offer and term sheet support. Understand what you're signing, spot the red flags, and negotiate from an informed position.

What you walk away with: a raise you're running, not one that's running you.

Hands-On Support A senior operator inside your business, not advice from the sidelines.

For founders who are drowning in the doing. You don't need another mentor telling you what to do. You need someone who gets stuck in and does it with you, without the cost or commitment of a full-time senior hire.

What this looks like:

• I join the team. A set number of days per week or month, embedded in how you already work: your Slack, your standups, your deadlines etc.

• I own workstreams end to end. Investor materials, planning cycles, project coordination, follow-ups.

• A monthly rhythm. Structure, momentum and accountability, so the important work stops losing to the urgent work.

• A sounding board on tap. I've founded, scaled and exited. When the hard calls come up, you're not making them alone.

• Flexible by design. Scale me up around a raise or launch, scale back when things settle. Engagements shaped around early-stage budgets and reality.

What you walk away with: a senior pair of hands who treats your company like their own.

Run Lean, Execute BetterTurn chaos into a clear operating cadence.

For teams where everything lives in the founder's head. That works until it doesn't: things fall through cracks, everyone's busy but nothing ships, and scaling feels impossible. I make the business easier to run, easier to scale and easier to explain to investors, because investors back teams that execute.

What we fix:

• Ownership and decisions. Who owns what, how decisions get made, and what happens when they don't. No more everything routing through you.

• Priorities and KPIs. A simple scoreboard the whole team actually uses, so effort goes where it matters.

• Reporting rhythms. A weekly and monthly cadence that takes minutes, and tells you the truth about the business.

• Planning and delivery. Turn the roadmap into work that ships, with accountability that doesn't rely on chasing.

• Tools and process. Only what you need, nothing you don't. Early-stage teams die from too much process as often as too little.

What you walk away with: a business that runs on a system, not on your memory.
