Business Idea: A results-based consulting service connecting startup founders with high-value investors, charging only upon successful funding rounds, streamlining the fundraising process with aligned incentives.
Problem: Founders face high upfront costs and risk in securing funding, often wasting time reviewing numerous pitch decks with little success, which hampers efficient capital raising.
Solution: A performance-based advisory service that leverages industry connections to facilitate investor-founder matchmaking. The service reviews pitches proactively and gets paid only if a funding deal is successfully closed, reducing founder risk.
Target Audience: Startup founders seeking funding, early-stage startups, and investors interested in vetted deals without upfront consulting fees.
Monetization: The service earns a flat fee (e.g., $5,000) only when a funding deal is successfully closed, with initial investor commitments providing confidence and readiness to fund.
Unique Selling Proposition (USP): Aligns incentives by only charging when a funding milestone is achieved, reducing founder risk, and streamlining investor connection. Unlike traditional consulting, it emphasizes results and minimizes wasted effort.
Launch Strategy: Start by building a network of committed investors and startups, develop a transparent process for pitch review, and pilot with a small group of founders to refine the model and demonstrate success before scaling.
