How we work

A clear four-step process

  1. Enquiry & discovery

    Submit the quote form or email us with a short overview of your venture. We arrange an introductory conversation — by video or in person in Melbourne — to understand your goals.

  2. Scoped proposal

    You receive a written proposal covering scope, deliverables, timeline and a fixed fee. No retainers until you are comfortable, and no success fees buried in the fine print.

  3. Deep dive & delivery

    Workshops, analysis and document builds begin, with weekly progress updates so you always know where things stand.

  4. Review & momentum

    We hand over completed work with a 30-day check-in included, and offer an optional monthly retainer if you would like ongoing support.

Common questions

Before you get in touch

How are your fees structured?

Most engagements are fixed-fee projects quoted after scoping, with monthly retainers available for ongoing advisory. We do not charge success fees on capital raises.

Which stages do you work with?

Pre-seed through Series B ventures, established SMEs exploring new markets, and private investors building or managing venture portfolios.

Do you take commissions from investors you introduce?

No. We advise independently and accept no placement or introduction commissions, so our recommendations stay aligned with your interests.

Do you work outside Melbourne?

Yes. While we are Melbourne-based, we advise clients Australia-wide by video, with in-person sessions available across greater Victoria. See our service areas for details.

Ready to move your venture forward?

Tell us about your raise, your portfolio or your growth plans, and we will respond with a scoped, fixed-fee proposal within two business days.
