CONFIDENTIALITY & ETHICS

Is confidentiality guaranteed ?
It is the foundation of our profession. All our exchanges are covered by a strict NDA (Non-Disclosure Agreement) from the very first contact. We never disclose a client's name during an active mandate without their explicit consent.
Do you manage competitors simultaneously ?
Our engagement protocol is governed by a strict non-conflict of interest policy. We declare and document any risk of immediate antagonism. Should a direct risk arise, we decline the most recent mandate to preserve the integrity and strategic confidentiality of the initial client.
Are you compensated by investors?
No. We act as the entrepreneur’s exclusive advisor. Accepting a kickback from a fund would be a severe ethical breach, breaking the alignment of interests.
Who has access to my sensitive data?
Access is strictly restricted to the Senior Partners in charge of the case.

ELIGIBILITY & SELECTION

Do you accept all files ?
No. We decline approximately 60% of inquiries. We only accept a mandate if the initial audit score exceeds 40/100, guaranteeing a realistic progression margin toward the "Investor Ready" threshold (80/100). We don’t sell hope; we sell feasibility.
What is your intervention ticket (Maturity Stage)?
We operate within the Pré-Seed, Seed and Series A segments. We do not handle pure debt financing.
What sectors do you cover?
Our only criterion is the strength of your business model. If the asset is sound and the growth potential is real, we structure it.
Intervenez-vous au stade de l'idée (Pre-Seed) ?
Exceptionally. Our audit protocol requires tangible material to be relevant.
We require minimal "Proof of Market" (initial revenue, patented technology, or active pilots). We structure the acceleration of an existing company, not the promise of a concept.

BUSINESS MODEL & PRICING

What is your fee structure ?
Our model consists of :
  • A Retainer (fixed fees) covering the mobilization of our resources during the structuring phase.
  • A Success Fee (% of the capital raised), due only upon the successful completion of the transaction.

Do you accept equity-based compensation ?
We prioritize cash compensation to ensure our independence of judgment.
However, for specific strategic Seed rounds, we may convert a portion of the Success Fee into equity, sealing a total community of destiny.
Why do you charge a Retainer?
The Retainer is not a cost, it is a filter for mutual commitment.
It ensures that we allocate our best resources to your file and clarifies the relationship: we don’t work on "hope," we work for "results."
Is the initial Maturity Audit free?
No. The "VC Stress Test" is a high-value consulting service that delivers a comprehensive strategic diagnostic.
However, its cost is fully deducted from the Retainer if we validate the advisory mandate.

INTERVENTION PROTOCOL

What is the duration of the complete cycle ?
The operation is a long-term commitment. The structuring phase ("Upgrade") requires 4 to 6 weeks of intensive sprints. The Roadshow and Closing then span over 3 to 4 months. Expect a six-month commitment to secure institutional funds.
Do you write the documentation for us ?
We rebuild the financial engineering and the investment thesis. We lead the production of the Memorandum and the Pitch Deck, but the vision must remain yours to withstand "Due Diligence."
What level of involvement is required from the CEO?
Total. Fundraising is not a delegable task. During the structuring Sprints, we require priority availability. We are not external consultants; we operate as temporary partners.
Who leads the legal negotiations ?
While you carry the vision, we handle the technical side of the negotiation. We intervene directly on the Term Sheet to neutralize toxic governance clauses before signing.

LONG-TERM VISION (POST-CLOSING)

Do you stay involved after the funds are transferred ?
Closing is not an end; it is a beginning.
We often propose joining the Strategic Committee (Board) to monitor the execution of the Business Plan and to streamline the dialogue with your new shareholders.
Do you prepare the subsequent rounds (Series B) ?
A fundraising round is prepared 18 months in advance.
As soon as the Series A closes, we are already structuring the Equity Story for the next round to maximize future valuation and maintain competitive tension.
Why not internalize this expertise (CFO) ?
A CFO manages operations and budgets (OPEX).
We manage capital and shareholding (Equity). These are two distinct professions.
We do not replace your CFO, we arm them for negotiation.
What role do you play in preserving founder governance ?
Our mission is to protect you.
We monitor "sleeping clauses" in the Shareholders' Agreement (anti-dilution, veto rights) that could strip you of company control during a future round. Value is nothing without control.
