Early-Stage Capital

Our relationship role expands to deal ombudsman. We guide investors smoothly and briskly from indication-of-interest to transaction close.

Our resources can be deployed to introduce your transaction to risk-appropriate names. We actively manage an extensive, proprietary network of qualified investors worldwide. In our relationship activity, we aim to understand their biases and interests. This hands-on approach, often amplified by informal or formal consulting ties, ensures buoyancy to deal-making discussions. Our in-house publication activity embodies the texture and tone of investor-related discussions.

Others may dial-and-smile. Our backbone is a pool of known relationships who deploy assets methodically, if not quietly. They have come to trust our analytical perspective.

“Take it or leave it” seldom works as a capital-sourcing strategy. Investors march to different rhythms, requiring structures and approaches that coalesce with their investment style. Our work unfolds behind-the-scenes to resolve issues that guide these names smoothly from an indication-of-interest to transaction close. Price is not the only point of negotiation. Other concerns may include regulatory clearance and cash-call timetables. In some cases, our efforts extend to board or government presentations to ensure proper alignment.

Keys to Success

The foundation of a capital-rising campaign is an intertwined set of three elements. In working with firms to source investors, our project-design template addresses each of these points.

We elevate the need for content beyond the traditional narrative presentation, advocating for an ongoing stream of material. Corporate websites and due-diligence documentation are often overlooked as a storehouse of content artillery.

Finding investors who share an industry vision, lifestyle approach, or geographical slant is essential to sparking meaningful discussions around an investment idea. We dig deeply into our network for relevant touch points as we short list qualified leads.

Telegraphing successes is a standard approach to engagement, but investors may be numb to incidental accomplishments. The corporate narrative itself can be a source of authentic communication, as are macroeconomic developments.

By hitting a chord with prospective investors, project sponsors are building a framework for deal commitment. Our skills can help to compress this process. Skipping it altogether can lead to frustration.

We have established ties to a large number of qualified names across many investor segments worldwide. Not all transactions are suited for all investors; a critical task at Cranganore is building engagement with these professionals so that we understand their recurring needs.
