What We Do

Fundraising & Financing

Many companies that are entering the fundraising environment for the first time come to realize that the time requirements of raising capital are eroding business performance. A skilled team with experience navigating the fundraising process can be a tremendous asset. We have extensive expertise in all areas of investing, fundraising and mergers & acquisitions. First impressions with investors are critical to success. Whether this is your first business or you are a serial entrepreneur, Acceleration Partners can help increase your chances of success by leveraging years of experience and an outside perspective to help proactively address important issues for investors. This includes your executive summary, business plan, financial models, investor presentation, due diligence and the negotiation of key terms.

Our philosophy is that a successful fundraising campaign begins with a solid strategy, clear understanding of the market opportunity and a carefully selected list of potential investors. We support and guide our clients though the intricacies of this process, allowing management to focus on its top priority — running the business.

We also suggest that you read our views on fundraising and our article on business plans vs executive summaries to see if we are a good fit.
