Multidisciplinary assistance for startups

Dups

Entrepreneurs at heart:

We are truly entrepreneurs and understand their needs and aspirations. We have already led many new initiatives.

We talk entrepreneur language, simple, clear and actionable
We focus on what is necessary for you, we do not do work for the sake of doing it
We talk about solutions, not the potential problems

Our Objective

We help startup founders better prepare, negotiate and raise funds in order to level the playing field with investors. It is a win-win situation: if startups are better equipped for their fundraising, investors gain time (and possibly money too).

We like working with startups and we have been advising many early stage ventures. We deeply understand the challenges they face and we want to represent the founders because they have less bargaining power.

From our experience, when a startup raises capital, they have to deal with more risks than other companies because there is asymmetry between founders and investors at two levels:

Asymmetry of knowledge: by the nature of their jobs, investors have experience in deal making. When they negotiate with founders, they have a clear edge.

Asymmetry of investment: Investors diversify their risks. They know that out of 10 startups they invest in, 5 may go bankrupt, 3-4 do just average and 1 becomes a hit. Unfortunately, for the founders of a startup, diversification is not an option. Plus, they have most of the time an emotional bond with their startup, their baby.
