← Back Investment Structuring

"I don't know whether to finance with debt, partners, or both, or where to get it."

"Interest could eat me alive. I could leave money on the table, run out of liquidity, or end up in a bad partnership."

The decision of how to finance the project usually gets made without much analysis, and the consequences show up years later. Capital gets raised from friends and family without structure, debt gets sized wrong (too much or too little) or a vehicle gets chosen without thinking through what it implies. On top of that come the conflicts with co-investors when the waterfall is misaligned.

Design the optimal capital structure.

The raise is decided before the first call. The structure you sign (the debt-equity balance, the waterfall with your partners, the entity form) defines how much return is left at the end. A miscalibrated decision today can cost you hundreds of basis points of IRR for years. We have designed waterfalls that hold up under stress scenarios, negotiated terms with banks and co-investors, and seen which structural decisions erode return and which protect it. We know how to size debt without over- or under-levering, and how to align incentives with partners without creating conflicts years down the line.

Here's what changes when we step in:

01

Calibrated waterfall

Incentives aligned with your partners from day one, without conflicts down the line.

02

Right-sized debt

The right leverage for the right project: no over- or under-levering.

03

Institutional package

Materials a bank or co-investor respects and can act on quickly.
