Financing a company, in all stages Seed to Series E, can involve strategic relationships with venture capital, debt financing, angel investors, private equity, government grants, and others. Having a consulting partner that can help clean up the data room, financials, company pitch deck, and business plan so that it is convincing to investors can be key. The only difference between a company that is successful at fundraising versus one that is not is often that it does not have all its ducks in a row when presenting to investors.
