Startup & Venture Advisory Financial infrastructure that scales with you.
The finance, structure and governance a venture-backed company needs from incorporation to growth rounds, set up once and built to scale across borders.
Startups rarely fail because of finance, but many lose months to it: a structure that has to be unwound before a round, a cap table nobody can reconcile, books that cannot survive the first serious diligence. We help founders get the foundations right the first time.
Structure for where you are going
Many of our founders build in India and sell globally, or raise from investors who expect a US holding company. We design the entity structure, intellectual property location and intercompany arrangements with the next two rounds in mind, so that growth does not require an expensive restructuring.
Investor-grade from day one
Investors expect accurate books, a clean cap table and reporting that arrives on time. We run finance operations for early-stage companies to that standard, and prepare the data room and financial model before a round so diligence becomes a formality rather than a fire drill.
A partner that grows with you
As the company scales, the same team adds audit, tax structuring, controls and international expansion support. Founders do not need to change advisors each time the business changes shape.
What clients bring to us
A structure that blocks the next round
Investors require a different holding structure, and unwinding the current one costs time, tax and legal fees.
Books that fail diligence
Accounting kept for compliance rather than for investors raises questions at exactly the wrong moment.
Equity that nobody can reconcile
Cap tables, ESOP grants and convertible instruments drift out of sync with the company’s records.
Founders running finance
Time spent on reporting and investor queries is time not spent on customers and product.
