TEAM OF ADVISORS ANALYSER
Team of Advisors: Taking Control of Your Business Journey
As entrepreneurs, it is in our very nature to take charge. We’re usually the ones calling the shots, planning, and executing. But there’s one area where even the most seasoned entrepreneurs sometimes falter: assembling and effectively utilizing a team of advisors. This is the part where you decide: how much control you want over your business's future. Nobody will care about your business as much as you do but life is a hell of a lot easier when you have a team around you that you can count on.
The forth principle in the Success Seed Six Seasons Growth model, the 4S growth model revolves around your team of advisors. Imagine being in a room filled with the best minds in the business. Now, imagine that they're all there to guide your journey towards your long-term goals. This is what a rockstar team of advisors can offer you. -
finance for entrepreneurs with no prior finance experience
We provide support on a continuous basis: pre-funding and post-funding.
The models we build are "smarter": because in addition to being reconciliation tools, they are also business intelligence tools that help you drive your business forward and accelerate your fundraising process.
Our financial plans show: how strategic decisions convert into financial results, making it easy to explain to investors what you are planning to achieve, with how much capital, and over what time frame.
We help you to defend your valuation: pass due diligence, and negotiate the deal that you deserve.
As you execute, you can use these models to react faster to market feedback because you are able to clearly understand what results resulted from which strategic decisions. -
TERM SHEETS
Send your Term Sheet first to take the lead with investors
Ideally, you want to be the one to get your Term Sheet on the table first. VC firms will sometimes send their own Term Sheets to you. But, wherever possible, you should take the lead with potential investors and be clear about what key deal terms you’d like to see in exchange for equity.
There are three main benefits to sending your Term Sheet first:
It can accelerate negotiations and help you close your round quicIt can give the impression you’re further along in talks with other investors, triggering FOMO
The process of writing the Term Sheet can help sharpen your focus and help you come prepared to answer detailed questions in your meetings
To help you get ahead with your Term Sheet strategy, we’ve listed the most important negotiation points and happy to share.

FAQ’S
Where are you based?
We are based in London and work closely with investor teams in Geneva, London, Monaco, Dubai and Malta. We usually mentor startups from Europe, but also work US hours which are normally from 12 to about 2 am GMT. We work with clients all around the world though. Australia is the most challenging with time zones.
I'm in America/Canada, does that matter?
We work with many clients from North America. We only write decks in English. We’ve had a number of French clients where we had to translate their pitch decks from French to English, but we’ve made it work. So long as you can communicate business level concepts, we’ll be fine.
I'm a bit lost / my content isn't great... can you help?
That’s exactly why we are here. Please book a discovery call with us and we can establish what support is the best for you. The most efficient way for us to work so that you get an excellent outcome is for us to develop your deck from scratch, wherever you are with your existing deck.
