Raise when the window opens, not after it closes.
Vancouver companies raise through placements, flow-through shares, strategic partners and venture rounds. The windows are short and the preparation is long.
Why raises miss the window
The company is usually ready in substance. The gaps are in preparation:
The model is not investor-grade
It works for the team and fails when an investor changes an input.
Disclosure is assembled in a rush
Technical reports, financial statements and risk factors written to a deadline, with the errors to show for it.
The wrong instrument
A placement, a flow-through, a strategic investment and venture debt each suit a different moment, and the choice is often made by default.
Nobody runs the process
The founder runs the raise and the company, and the company slows down.
A fractional CFO who has raised before runs the process: the model, the disclosure, the data room and the investor conversation. They are ready when the window opens.
Who this is for, and who it is not
Best for
- Preparing for a funding round in the next three to six months
- A data room or financial model that will not survive diligence
- Gaps in investor reporting, cap table or board resolutions
- A founder carrying every financial question personally
- Numbers and investor narrative that do not yet line up
Not for
- A business with no revenue or traction to diligence yet
- A one-off pitch deck or investor slide design
- A team that wants a document produced, not a leader embedded
- A round already closed that needs only bookkeeping
Ready when the window opens
We match the CFO to the financing and keep governance around the engagement until it closes.
Pace checked during the window
While a financing is live we check in weekly and flag early if disclosure or the model is behind.
Capital markets experience
The collective includes operators who have run placements, flow-through financings and strategic rounds.
No restart mid-financing
If the CFO has to step away during a raise, we search again from our brief and run the handover.
Matched to the instrument
A flow-through, a strategic round and a venture raise need different experience. We match on yours.
From gap to investor-ready
Calibrated to your round timeline.
Fundraise assessment
We assess your current financial infrastructure, identify gaps, and calibrate to your round timeline.
CFO deployment
Your matched Fractional CFO is embedded within two to three weeks and begins building investor-grade infrastructure.
Fundraise preparation
Financial model, data room, board pack, governance, built and stress-tested before you enter conversations.
Round support and post-close
Your CFO stays through the round and transitions to execution mode. Reporting infrastructure, milestone tracking, and board presence.
Before, during and after the round
What a fractional CFO owns at each stage of a raise.
A fractional CFO leads every fundraise
Most raises need only the CFO. When diligence probes operations or technology, a COO or CTO joins from the same collective.
