A mathematician and experienced investment professional can help you with the numbers crunching to make your investment decision.
Business Angels and private investors often have deep insights into a specific industry, but need support during the Due Diligence process with various other aspects such as evaluation, cap table questions and deeper business model evaluations. The knowledge and experience of how early KPIs can be interpreted and how they can predict potential weaknesses of a business can make the difference, and save valuable time and money. Larger investors and funds often struggle to fulfil all their tasks during peek times. Whether a startup’s financial plan has to be evaluated or a portfolio company needs help to prepare for the next fundraising: getting an experienced professional to quickly support the day-to-day tasks can take substantial pressure off the core team and help to improve the quality of the investment decisions and chances in fundraising processes.

For Organisations:
Taking the challenge of investing in and educating startups deserves the best support possible
Setting up a (corporate) incubator, accelerator or any other startup programme is a super challenging task. Ruth Cremer has not only done this, but worked with so many startups and investors over the last 8 years, that coordinating all tasks from applying for public funding to setting up a programme with the strongest content can be actively carried out or supported. From a full external project lead to the handing over of some single tasks, every degree of engagement is possible. Startup education programmes are hard to design and often get a lot of harsh critique anyway. Surround experience of working with over 1000 startups, being speaker, mentor, judge and consultant in such programmes, can make the difference to “just another boring startup programme without effect”.
Contact for Organisations
Ruth Cremer and Team support the shaping of a new startup investment and/or education programme. Our work starts with the definition of a model and goes up to active participation in the programme itself. Please let us know via the contact form which kind of support you are seeking.
