Our broad approach extends beyond just presentations. We open doors and provide strategic contacts through years of mutual investments. There are Billions of dollars at play in Miami but the key is to knock on the right door and know what dots to connect.
With pre-funding focus groups of investors, each company goes through a full vetting of ideas, pitch talking points, and deck materials with a focus on structure and valuation. Startups sometimes forget the pitch deck is not to prove they have a good idea, it is to make money.
The pre-raise sitdowns with investor groups allow companies to meet with people who run investments for hundreds of millions of dollars and practice their pitch without asking for money. These CIOs are there as mentors and rotate in on deals to give guidance and advice on what they look for and why they will fund an idea and how much.
This process takes away the fear and stigma of practicing a pitch with actual investors before the final pitch is perfect. Welcome to the new start-up capital of the Americas, where big ideas meet money needed from Deck to Exit.
Welcome to the Boutique DECXIT Additive.
