Investor-Ready Consulting

Is Your Startup Ready For Investment?

Our value is our extensive experience - our diverse talents and resources focus and assist in monetizing and developing your business.

As angel investors, we have entrepreneurs pitch to us every week. Based on our experience, we've developed a keen sense of what works and what doesn't. We offer our expertise to you through our Investor-Ready consulting services.

What We Do

To help prepare entrepreneurs for investor evaluation, we provide a variety of Investor-Ready services including the following:

  • Elevator pitch coaching
  • Business plan assessment
  • Financial forecast modeling (allows financial scenarios to be generated for your business)
  • Competitive analysis
  • Presentation materials (presentations, decks, websites, etc.)

How We Do It

We believe that success comes from identifying and understanding the next hurdles your business must cross. As part of our structured process, we prepare entrepreneurs for investor readiness by doing the following:

  1. Review materials and provide a gap assessment
  2. Make recommendations for appropriate services
  3. Collaborate with the client to decide which services Vydrogen will provide
  4. Work with the client to develop an Investor-Ready package

Working Together

We draw upon our experience and provide expert leadership and advice to provide Investor-Ready services that accelerate the investment process.

Interview Company Management
We interview company management regarding the company's vision, mission, and capital structure (the amount of money to be raised, valuation, share structure, etc.). This process allows Vydrogen to effectively articulate and market the investment opportunity to investors.

Prepare Documentation
We develop or refine investor materials, including the slide deck, executive summary, full business plan, and private placement memorandum (PPM), as appropriate.

As part of this process, we highlight the company's management team, competitive advantages, and value proposition. We develop a well-defined exit strategy and demonstrate the high potential for return on investment. As a result, we generate investor interest and encourage favorable investment terms.

Develop Investor Lists
We develop comprehensive lists of qualified investors from our extensive network and proprietary informational databases. We invest significant time and energy to identify and assess unique, creative sources of equity investment, including strategic investors.

Market Opportunity to Investors
We initiate contact with investors, negotiate a contract where both parties are pleased with the financing structure, and work to successfully close the transaction.
