Startup Funding – Taamul Credit

Making Startups Ready For Funding

Most startups fail to clear the preliminary investor screening. Our experience of working closely with private equity and venture capital firms has strengthened our understanding of how they evaluate an investment proposal. We utilize this experience to help entrepreneurs prepare fundraising proposals that really make a difference. We eliminate the need to hire a separate designer, business plan writer, and valuation consultant by offering an all-inclusive service.

ABOUT US

Why you need us?

Reason why entrepreneurs fail is not because they are unable to find niches, create mechanisms, price products properly or market, but because they are doing these activities in wrong order before they get traction.

Hiring a startup focused consultant is perhaps a better choice for emerging somewhat unscathed through the grind of startup funding process.

Valuation

With little-to-no-history, assets or revenues, assessing the numbers for a startup can be challenging. Independent valuation using relevant methods that factor in the startup business model, growth stage, and peer benchmarks. Valuation is both, a science & art, and the value of any asset varies for each stakeholder. An external expert’s perspective gives an unbiased assessment and simultaneously unlocks the startup’s true worth to attract investor interest.

VC connect

Minimise time-to-funding by bringing startups to doorsteps of investors. Fundraising is a time-consuming and time-critical activity that can determine the fate of even fledgling startups. Eliminating the most unproductive phase of cold-chasing investors by making direct warm-connects with right-fit investors can make all the difference.

Term sheet

negotiation

The reason why most startups fail at securing investment even with rigorous calls and emails is that often they are unaware of the latest investment preferences. Therefore, we regularly interact with investors and stay updated with their latest investment preferences. We share our insights with startups and help them manage their fundraising process efficiently.

Transaction

structuring

Often companies seeking to expand, sell, buy or strike a deal for cooperation are unaware of doing it with the lowest possible legal, tax or financial risk, or with minimal risk of future litigation. The customer receives a reasoned opinion on the underlying problems of the transaction subject matter as well as suggestions to solve the problems; each of the proposals is negotiated carefully until the optimal solution is selected.
