Fundraising check-up
- Detailed review of pitch deck and financial plan
- One-hour workshop on finding investors
- Optional visual polish of materials
Bruckschlögl & Lehwald Partner
From pitch to close.
We prepare startups for the capital market, select the right investors, and run outreach — with the experience of founders who have built, scaled and sold companies themselves.
Four steps. No theatre.
Capital-market impact comes from preparation and precision — not mass emails to the wrong desks.
-
Investor readiness
Review and sharpen your pitch deck and financial plan so the materials hold up once conversations get serious.
-
Investor selection
A tailored longlist matched to sector, stage and ticket size — not whoever is trending this quarter.
-
Capital-market outreach
Targeted first contact, call prep and disciplined follow-ups — so founders stay free to run the company.
-
Dealmaking
Support through advanced talks on term sheets and investment agreements. Not legal advice — experience from our own rounds and exits.
