Equity Advisory Service

One-to-one equity advice

Our Equity Advisor, venture capitalist and business development advisor, Drew O’Sullivan, offers one-to-one advice for early stage high growth ventures that intend to raise funds in the next 12 months. Drew also acts as a sounding board for your management team before you approach the investment community to seek capital.

Drew is available to meet with individual companies to advise on your fundraising requirements and assess your ‘investor readiness'. He can also present to groups of companies and entrepreneurs on these issues. A series of monthly clinics are held online each month.

We have now announced dates for our 2024 Monthly Equity Advisory Clinics.
