Getting Ready to Present & Pitch Your Company

Whether your company is a start-up, in early-stage development, or an emerging growth business, we know you have worked hard to create your business and want to fund its growth and expansion.

Money is tight, but when your company is presented properly to the right investment sources, funds are attainable. And yes, funding is difficult right now. Yet, investors of all kinds are overwhelmed with 'pitches and asks' from countless entrepreneurs and organizations with great ideas. They are easily put off by wrong or conflicting information in the process. When this happens, they're likely to move on to the next opportunity and pass on yours.

Jazz Ventures, LLC helps evaluate your work so you can position your company and your team properly to those investment resources you decide to pitch to. After getting to know you and understanding your goals, we'll do a detailed review of your documents and materials. We provide feedback, suggestions, and the questions typical funders want to know in advance of approaching them. We help you hone and prepare your message based on investor expectations. Whether it's a funding source we can help introduce you to, or those that you are seeking and speaking with on your own, the objective is for you to be as prepared as possible.

We understand how investors think and the questions they ask. Our goal is to make clients as viable and prepared as possible so you present in a clear and concise way.

While our focus in the past has been working with companies in healthcare, life sciences, new technologies, manufacturing, and environmentally focused opportunities—we remain industry agnostic.

Core Advisory & Preparation Services

We identify, coach, and consult with companies seeking investment from debt, equity, or grant sources. Our focus is on ensuring you are fully prepared before you step in front of an investor. Some of our services include:

Strategic & Market Planning: Honing your business plan, market introduction strategy, and overall corporate roadmap.
Investor Readiness & Coaching: Team assessment, pitch preparation, and aligning your messaging with investor expectations.
Financial & Document Review: Validating revenue projections, valuation assumptions, cap tables, and use of proceeds.
Due Diligence Preparation: Structuring clear, consistent documents with the "must-haves" so investors can start making decisions efficiently.
Operational Support: Fractional management resources (if your team is lacking a specific discipline) and introductions to an external professional team (accountants, attorneys).

Important Disclosures & Expectations

As with any consulting company in the business of assisting companies seeking capital, preparation is important. However, there is never a guarantee that your company (or any company in today's capital markets) will be successful in raising funds. Raising funds is not inexpensive—during your capital raising process, you will spend money on accountants, attorneys, software, travel, and fees for pitch events.

Please note the following regarding our engagements:

We are not Broker/Dealers: We do not offer broker/dealer services. If you are in need of working with an investment bank, we have a network we can introduce you to.
No Exclusivity Required: We do not require exclusivity and highly recommend you continue with all your networking to seek capital sources. Never bypass bona-fide offers or discussions because you think another source is nearing the delivery of a term sheet. Until funds are in your account, you should always consider all options.
No Guaranteed Introductions: Jazz Ventures will not automatically present you to funding sources.
Vigilance is Required: There are many scams around the world seeking to "help you by investing in your company." We urge you to do thorough background checks on these sources.
