Service

# Get *ready* before you raise.

You prepare the story, the numbers and the list. We help you get ready and, where there is a fit, introduce you to investors who back companies like yours.

Introductions to capital is a Regenerate Capital service for founders preparing to raise from angels, funds or family offices. Our team helps you decide whether and how much to raise, readies your materials and data room, maps investors who fit your stage and sector, makes warm introductions where appropriate and helps structure the round. It is preparation, not a guarantee.

What’s included

## What the service includes.

01

### Raise or not decision

An honest look at whether outside capital is the right tool now, and how much you actually need.

02

### Readiness review

A pass over your deck, model, metrics and data room, with the gaps investors are likely to ask about.

03

### Investor map

A ranked list of angels, funds and family offices whose stage, sector and cheque size match your round.

04

### Warm introductions

Introductions through our team’s network where we believe there is a genuine fit, with context for both sides.

05

### Round structure

Help thinking through instrument, terms and timeline, alongside your own legal and financial advisors.

06

### Process rhythm

A simple pipeline and weekly cadence so the raise doesn’t swallow the company.

Sound familiar?

## Do you have these problems?

- You’ve sent your deck to dozens of investors and heard nothing back.
- You’re not sure whether to raise now, wait for traction or not raise at all.
- Every investor asks for numbers you don’t track yet.
- You don’t know which funds invest at your stage, in your sector, in Canada.
- Your raise has taken six months and the company has stalled while you pitch.
- You have a term sheet on the table and no one to help you read it.

Our approach

## How we solve them.

01

### Decide first

We start with whether to raise, how much and why. Sometimes the right answer is revenue, a grant or a smaller round.

02

### Get the materials ready

We work on your story, deck, model and data room until they answer the questions investors ask in the first meeting.

03

### Map the right investors

We build a short list by stage, sector, geography and cheque size, instead of a spray of cold emails.

04

### Introduce with context

Where we see a fit, our team makes warm introductions and helps you prepare for each conversation.

05

### Run a tight process

We help you keep a pipeline, follow up on time and compare terms with your own advisors before you sign.

Do it yourself

## Resources to solve it yourself.

### Start this week

- Write one paragraph on what the money is for and what milestone it gets you to. If you can’t, you’re not ready yet.
- List twenty investors who have backed a company at your stage and in your sector in the last two years.
- Build a one-page metrics sheet you update every month, whether you’re raising or not.
- Ask two founders who raised recently which investors actually helped after the cheque.

Questions

## Straight answers.

### Can you guarantee that I’ll raise?

No. We help you prepare and introduce you where we see a fit, but investors make their own decisions. Nothing here is investment, legal or tax advice.

### Does Regenerate Capital invest too?

Sometimes, as part of how we work with a startup. Any investment is a separate decision, made case by case and documented on its own.

### How do you charge for this?

Terms are flexible and shaped around your startup: equity, cash, commission, in-kind or a mix, always agreed in writing before we start.
