Raise on a plan an industrial investor can test.
Funding a Munich technology or industrial company usually means grants, a bank, a strategic investor and a fund, each with its own timetable. They decide on a plan they can test, not on a vision.
Why raises stall
Across Munich financings, the same few things slow a process down or end it:
The plan does not survive a technical question
The investor brings an engineer, and the numbers do not match what the engineer hears.
Grants and equity are not coordinated
Each source has conditions, and nobody has laid them side by side.
The data room is assembled while diligence runs
Which shows the investor how the company is managed.
The process has no owner
The founders run the raise alongside the product, and both suffer.
A fractional CFO who has raised for a technology or industrial company takes the process off the founders: the model, the funding stack, the data room, diligence and the answers to the questions not yet asked.
Who this is for, and who it is not
Best for
- Preparing for a funding round in the next three to six months
- A data room or financial model that will not survive diligence
- Gaps in investor reporting, cap table or board resolutions
- A founder carrying every financial question personally
- Numbers and investor narrative that do not yet line up
Not for
- A business with no revenue or traction to diligence yet
- A one-off pitch deck or investor slide design
- A team that wants a document produced, not a leader embedded
- A round already closed that needs only bookkeeping
How we support a financing
Grants, banks and investors each run to their own clock. We keep the engagement steady across all of them.
Reviews while the money is open
We check progress with the founders and the CFO at set points during the process, and say early when a timetable slips.
An engineer's view on the model
When an investor's technical expert questions the plan, your CFO can test the answer with peers in the collective first.
The file stays with us
Should the CFO need to step away mid-process, we hold the funding brief and run the next search ourselves.
Matched for industrial investors
We look for a CFO a strategic investor will respect and a grant body will find precise.
From gap to investor-ready
Calibrated to your round timeline.
Fundraise assessment
We assess your current financial infrastructure, identify gaps, and calibrate to your round timeline.
CFO deployment
Your matched Fractional CFO is embedded within two weeks and begins building investor-grade infrastructure.
Fundraise preparation
Financial model, data room, board pack, governance, built and stress-tested before you enter conversations.
Round support and post-close
Your CFO stays through the round and transitions to execution mode. Reporting infrastructure, milestone tracking, and board presence.
Before, during and after the round
What a fractional CFO owns at each stage of a raise.
A fractional CFO leads every fundraise
Most raises need only the CFO. When diligence probes operations or technology, a COO or CTO joins from the same collective.
