Stop guessing.
Start with a free discovery call to understand your situation. Our proprietary 54-point Maple Standard pinpoints exactly what to fix in your deck, plan, and financials — delivering an actionable roadmap investors can understand.
We diagnose the real gaps in your deck, plan, and financials, then deliver a concise, actionable assessment that investors can understand.
You get clarity, not opinions — a clear path to make your materials investor‑ready.
We start by understanding your story—not just your numbers. In this initial conversation, we learn about your vision, your challenges, and what's kept investors saying no. This ensures our review is tailored to your specific situation, not a one-size-fits-all checklist.
Our team conducts a thorough, line-by-line analysis of your pitch deck, business plan, and financial projections. We identify exactly where messaging breaks down, where data gaps undermine credibility, and where investors lose interest—and we don't stop until we find every blocker standing between you and funding.
You receive a structured report that translates investor psychology into plain language. Each finding includes specific examples from your materials, clear explanations of why it matters to investors, and priority-ranked recommendations you can implement without hiring a consultant.
In our wrap-up session, we walk through every recommendation, answer your questions, and help you prioritize next steps. By the end, you'll have a shared understanding of what to fix first, confidence in your revised approach, and a roadmap to submit.
Great projects deserve fair consideration. Our mission is to level the playing field for first-time and sophisticated founders alike who have been filtered out by noise, not substance.
We've seen too many funding sources pass on brilliant ideas because of fixable mistakes.
That's why we focus on clarity, not complexity. Your pitch shouldn't require an interpreter. It should speak for itself.
One Clear Story: Investors stop asking clarifying questions—and start asking about terms. Your narrative becomes impossible to misunderstand.
Authority You Can Feel: Walk into meetings knowing every number has a reason, every slide has a purpose. No second-guessing when cameras turn on.
Faster Decisions: Move from "let me think about it" to "when can we send term sheets?" Expect replies in days or weeks, not months.
Months Reclaimed: Cut your revision cycles by half. Spend that time building, not rewriting decks that were never quite right.

No obligation. Just a conversation to see if we're the right fit.
We get asked these questions all the time. Honest answers, no jargon.
A 54-point diagnostic covering every element of your executive summary, business plan, and financial statements that private investors treat as red flags. Seven categories, 54 checkpoints, one score. While we discuss a new point from the framework on Substack every other week, the value is in what we find in your materials.
It depends on the size and complexity of your submission — we quote case-by-case after a free discovery call, so you know the number before committing to anything.
Our company has helped clients worldwide, with US and Canadian clients at the forefront. Our clients have hailed from around the world, including Sweden, South Africa, the Philippines, and Mexico.
We have consulted on projects across many sectors, including AI, tech, commercial and residential real estate, mining, and green tech, with a specific focus on commercial and residential real estate, green and clean tech, and infrastructure projects. We believe in bringing projects to funding sources that can make a positive difference in the world, so it doesn't limit what we can see and help with.
When it comes to dollar amount, we have no restrictions, especially regarding helping with reviewing and preparing documents. We have assisted with projects ranging from lower than $1M USD to trillion-dollar infrastructure projects. If a client needs institutional-grade assistance, we have a network of experts we are partnered with to provide stability, guidance, and support.
This is a common concern with many project owners, and many of the clients we've worked with over the years have had issues with differentiating between the two. In simple terms, a work fee is for actual work done on a project to make it fundable. An upfront fee is the cost a funding source might ask for to see a project before even issuing a term sheet.
We, and the funding sources we work with, operate on work fees rather than upfront fees. We, or the funding sources we are partnered with, will never ask a client to pay a fee to review a project. To clarify work fees even further, if you hire a contractor to build a house, you would pay that contractor to build the house, not to look at the land and tell you they could build a house there. There is actual work being done to fund a project, and deliverables are provided; that is what clients pay for. Not simply looking at a project.
Hygiene numbers - revenue, cash flow, IRR, CAPEX - are table stakes. The real motivators depend on the domain, the investor, and the perceived weaknesses in the team or idea. As investors are often focused on the long-term benefits of working with a team, they place greater emphasis on the team's strengths and composition, even if the IRR or other metrics are lower. Sources want to see that the team coming to the table can deliver on the promise of profit and be great to work with over the long term.
