0.7%

receive funding…

0.05%

of those companies succeed!

Private market incestors characteristics

Since the peak of deal activity in 2021, the volume of new opportunities receiving investment has declined. Private market investors have therefore become much more ‘hands on’ with maximising the value of their existing portfolio companies.

Time poor

You are inundated with investment opportunities. Venture capital funds can receive up to 3,000 funding applications per year. It is therefore critical to stand out from the crowd.

Highly sophisticated

You conduct thorough analysis and will spot irregularities quickly. Raising seed capital vs institutional funding are two completely different ballgames. As a business matures, investment decisions are more data-driven.

No nonsense

You want the right information, in the right place at the right time. Companies seeking funding often only have one shot. Once you have lost confidence in their numbers, it is very difficult to regain your interest.

Investor challenges

Before Finomatic

You want to help your portfolio grow and assess new investment opportunities. But, obtaining accurate and timely information is a struggle. If you do not fully trust the data, you may hesitate in making the pivotal decisions.

At the moment, you and your portfolio companies might be:

Spending hours reconciling data instead of discussing the growth strategy ;
Making strategic decisions using management information which is incorrect, incomplete or outdated ;
Unable to access the relevant data at a moment’s notice to capitalise on inbound acquisition opportunities ; or
Seeking more information about current market patterns and developments.

What you currently do: Try to reconcile the client breakdown to the P&L
