Convertible Debt

A debt instrument that converts into equity at a discount during future funding rounds.

Includes interest, maturity date, and possible repayment requirements.

Used when raising capital from investors who want downside protection but potential equity upside.

Key Differences:

SAFE = equity-first, no repayment. Convertible debt = debt-first, eventual equity conversion.

CÌAAN helps structure and negotiate investor-friendly terms to optimize founder equity and investor confidence.

Engagement Fee – A one-time fee to initiate the engagement, covering strategic advisory, investor readiness assessment, and documentation preparation. (add the same Engagement fee table as on terms of engagement)

Retainer – A monthly fee for ongoing capital raising execution, investor negotiations, and deal structuring. (add the same retainer table as on terms of engagement)

Success Fee – A percentage of the capital raised, payable only upon successfully closing funding.

Our fee structure is designed to be competitive, transparent, and results-oriented, ensuring that clients receive a fully managed capital raising solution without excessive upfront costs.



Disclaimer: All Terms of Engagement Are Tailored to the Complexity and Specifics of Each Individual Deal. All Pricing Is In USD.

CÌAAN delivers a superior capital raising solution at a fraction of the cost of traditional investment banks.

Investment Banks typically charge large retainers ($250K–$500K+), high success fees, and additional fees for document preparation and advisory.

CÌAAN operates on a more flexible model, minimizing upfront costs while ensuring investors are secured faster and more efficiently.

Speed & Execution – Unlike investment banks, which often have long timelines and bureaucratic processes, CÌAAN guarantees targeted investor outreach and warm introductions within weeks, not months.

‍CÌAAN provides Wall Street-level capital raising services without the excessive fees or inefficiencies of traditional banks.

Yes. CÌAAN requires an engagement fee and retainer before initiating the capital raise. This fee is not just a formality—it covers the real, tangible hard costs associated with deploying our team of ex-investment bankers, venture capitalists, and capital markets specialists, along with the infrastructure that powers our systematic, results-driven capital raising process.

We are not a firm that merely facilitates introductions to a handful of investors and hopes for the best. If you are looking for someone to "open doors to a few close relationships" in exchange for a success fee, we are not the right fit. CÌAAN is a trusted, results-driven capital raising partner, relied upon by leading businesses, private equity firms, and high-growth startups to secure funding consistently through a structured, repeatable, and proven process.

Your upfront fee goes toward:

Dedicated expert team – Capital markets professionals executing investor outreach, negotiations, and deal structuring.

Investor readiness & strategic positioning – Ensuring your business is properly packaged to attract serious capital.

High-level investor engagement – Targeted introductions to decision-makers, not speculative outreach.

Marketing, PR, and exposure – Elevating your business’s credibility through strategic media positioning and investor communications.Investor tracking & conversion – Managing, filtering, and negotiating with investors throughout the process.

Our process is what the best in the industry rely on to raise capital consistently. We don’t gamble on investor interest—we execute a system that ensures funding success. If you're serious about executing a capital raise with precision, we are the right partner.

CÌAAN operates on a performance-driven model, meaning our success fee is only payable upon securing capital. However, engagement fees and retainers are non-refundable because they cover the extensive, real costs of executing a highly sophisticated capital raise—including investor research, financial structuring, outreach, and deal execution.

This is precisely why we have a rigorous application process—we do not engage with just any business. If we extend an agreement, it is because we have thoroughly vetted your business, market positioning, and capital requirements and have a high degree of confidence that, barring unforeseen black swan events, we will successfully secure the capital.

We don’t engage in speculative capital raising or hope that a few warm introductions result in funding. We engineer capital raises through a structured, high-probability system. Our track record of successfully securing $1M–$500M+ in capital for our clients is built on rigorous deal selection and an execution framework that delivers results.

If you’re looking for a firm that is willing to “take a chance” on raising capital with no clear process, we are not the right fit. But if you want a trusted, results-driven capital partner that operates with the same precision as the world’s top investment banks and private equity firms, then CÌAAN is the right firm for you.

Our success fee structure varies based on the type of capital raised, deal size, and complexity.

Our fees are structured to be competitive, transparent, and aligned with market standards, ensuring clients secure optimal capital without excessive dilution.

CÌAAN does not require an equity stake as a condition of working with clients. However, in select cases, we may negotiate equity participation in high-growth ventures where long-term strategic alignment exists.

Our primary focus is securing capital for our clients, not taking ownership. When equity participation is considered, it is structured as a co-investment alongside investors, ensuring full alignment with growth and value creation.

No. CÌAAN operates with full transparency, and all fees, engagement terms, and success structures are clearly outlined before the engagement begins.

No hidden advisory fees – Everything is disclosed upfront.

No surprise investor charges – We do not take backend fees from investors or inflate terms.

No unnecessary delays or additional costs – Our process is structured for efficiency and execution.

CÌAAN is committed to providing a clear, results-driven, and fully transparent capital raising process, ensuring clients know exactly what to expect at every stage.

The minimum timeframe to raise capital is typically 45 to 60 days, but most engagements have a six-month term to allow for a thorough and strategic fundraising process. While we move with speed and precision, our approach is conservative and structured to ensure that every investor engaged is a strong match and that negotiations are handled professionally to maximize valuation and deal success.

For smaller raises ($1M–$5M), timelines tend to be shorter, while larger raises ($50M+) require longer due diligence, negotiations, and structuring. The exact timeline depends on factors such as investor interest, deal complexity, and market conditions, but our process is designed to execute efficiently while securing the best possible outcome.

Several key factors influence how quickly capital is secured:

Investor Readiness – Businesses with well-prepared financials, strong governance, and clear growth strategies secure funding faster.

Market Conditions – Economic cycles, interest rates, and investor appetite impact how quickly capital moves.

Sector & Business Model – High-growth, scalable businesses in strong sectors (technology, infrastructure, private equity) typically attract faster investor engagement.

Capital Structure & Deal Terms – Favorable terms and structured deals that align with investor expectations can expedite funding.

Company Track Record & Leadership – A strong management team with a proven track record improves investor confidence and speeds up decision-making.

Investor Due Diligence – Institutional investors and private equity firms require thorough due diligence, which can take time depending on the complexity of the business.

Our structured process ensures that every engagement moves efficiently, mitigating unnecessary delays while maximizing deal certainty.

Investors look for well-prepared, high-conviction opportunities. To enhance your business’s attractiveness:

Optimize Your Financials – Ensure clean, audited financial statements, clear revenue models, and robust cash flow projections.

Strengthen Your Growth Strategy – Investors want to see a clear roadmap for scaling and achieving strong ROI.

Build a Strong Leadership Team – Investors bet on teams as much as they do on business models. A proven, experienced management team is key.

Demonstrate Market Traction – Recurring revenue, customer adoption, and strategic partnerships make businesses more investable.

Ensure a Clear Exit Strategy – Investors need to understand how they will see returns—whether through IPOs, M&A, or other liquidity events.

Align with Investor Mandates – Knowing which investors are the right fit before outreach begins increases efficiency and engagement success.

CÌAAN ensures that every client is packaged and positioned as a premium investment opportunity, significantly improving investor interest and funding outcomes.

Market conditions play a critical role in capital availability, investor appetite, and deal structuring.

Bull Markets (Strong Economic Cycles) → More aggressive capital deployment, higher valuations, and greater investor appetite.

Bear Markets (Downturns, Recessions) → Stricter investor due diligence, lower risk tolerance, and higher scrutiny on cash flow stability and profitability.

Interest Rate Environments → Higher interest rates reduce access to debt financing and shift investor focus toward profitability over growth.

Sector-Specific Trends → Some industries thrive regardless of macro conditions (e.g., AI, cybersecurity, renewable energy), while others become cyclical.

CÌAAN actively monitors market dynamics and tailors investor targeting accordingly, ensuring our clients are always positioned for success, regardless of economic conditions.

CÌAAN maintains an exceptionally high success rate because we are selective in our engagements. Unlike firms that take on any client and hope for a deal, we ensure that every business we work with is fundable before we begin the process.

Success Rate: Over 90% of businesses we engage successfully raise capital.

Investor Engagement: Clients receive 1,000+ targeted investor meetings over a six-month engagement.

Deal Execution: We structure and negotiate every aspect of the deal to maximize valuation and close rate.

Our rigorous application process ensures that if we engage with a business, we have high conviction that capital will be secured—barring unforeseen circumstances.

While CÌAAN’s structured process significantly improves success rates, businesses that struggle to raise capital typically face one or more of the following challenges:

Lack of Investor Readiness – Poorly prepared financials, incomplete documentation, or weak business fundamentals.

Unrealistic Valuation Expectations – Overpriced deals without clear justifications for valuation turn investors away.

Weak Business Model or Traction – Investors look for companies with clear revenue streams and scalable models.

Leadership & Execution Risk – Unproven teams or lack of a clear operational strategy raise red flags.

Market Timing & Sector-Specific Headwinds – Some industries experience downturns that impact capital availability.

Inflexibility in Deal Terms – Businesses that refuse to adjust terms based on market conditions often lose potential investors.

Insufficient Investor Targeting – Many businesses fail simply because they are pitching the wrong investors.

At CÌAAN, we mitigate these risks from day one by ensuring businesses are positioned for investor success before introductions begin. Our data-driven, structured capital raising process eliminates uncertainty and maximizes funding outcomes.

Securing capital is only the beginning—what follows is just as critical. We ensure that funding is deployed strategically to maximize enterprise value, whether through operational scaling, technology integration, or market expansion. Many of our clients use newly raised capital to increase valuation through strategic bolt-ons, such as developing SaaS platforms, integrating AI-driven automation, or expanding into new verticals. Others focus on M&A strategies, acquiring competitors or merging with complementary businesses to accelerate growth and market positioning.

Our role doesn’t end when the capital is raised. We remain engaged to ensure the funding is leveraged effectively, keeping the business on track for long-term success and preparing for future rounds or exit opportunities.

Yes. The best companies don’t just raise capital; they execute a structured post-funding strategy to ensure that money works for them. We assist businesses in scaling operations, optimizing capital deployment, and enhancing enterprise value through smart, strategic initiatives.

Many businesses choose to increase valuation through bolt-on acquisitions, AI-driven automation, or digital transformation initiatives. Others use funding to expand into new markets, refine their business model, or acquire competitors. In every case, we provide guidance, resources, and connections to help businesses maximize the impact of their raise.

Yes. Maintaining strong investor relationships is key to securing follow-on funding, strategic partnerships, and long-term credibility. We help businesses develop structured investor communications, ensuring transparency in performance reporting, capital deployment, and strategic progress.

Investors expect regular updates, governance insights, and clear milestone tracking. Companies that manage investor relations well often find it easier to raise future rounds at higher valuations. Our team helps structure these communications, ensuring that investors remain confident and engaged, while also managing expectations realistically.

For companies that anticipate future capital needs, we take a long-term strategic approach to fundraising. A successful Series A should set the stage for Series B, and so on, with each round improving valuation and reducing dilution.

By working with businesses throughout their growth cycles, we ensure they optimize capital deployment, demonstrate traction, and structure investor engagement effectively before going back to the market. This means re-engaging existing investors where possible, targeting new institutional capital, and, in some cases, structuring M&A transactions that eliminate the need for additional external capital altogether.

Investor confidence is built on clear, strategic communication and execution. The most successful companies proactively align expectations with performance realities, ensuring that investors are informed, engaged, and aligned with long-term goals.

Beyond quarterly reporting, businesses must be prepared to navigate challenges, manage market shifts, and justify capital allocation decisions. By implementing a structured investor relations framework, companies maintain strong relationships that lead to follow-on investment, strategic partnerships, and long-term financial backing.

Yes. Many of our clients raise capital with an eventual exit in mind, whether through an IPO, strategic sale, or acquisition. We help businesses position themselves for premium valuations, structure exit-ready financials, and engage with potential acquirers or institutional investors at the right time.

For some companies, an M&A transaction—such as merging with a strategic partner or acquiring a competitor—creates more value than an IPO or private exit. We assist in identifying these opportunities, structuring deals, and ensuring that businesses maximize shareholder returns when the time comes to exit.

An exit isn’t just about timing—it’s about preparation. We ensure businesses are structured, positioned, and connected for the best possible outcome.

No, but you do need a clear, compelling investment case. Investors are not looking for a generic business plan; they want to see a scalable model, strong leadership, and a well-defined path to ROI. While detailed financials, competitive analysis, and a structured roadmap are important, investors focus on the fundamentals that drive value—market opportunity, differentiation, execution capability, and potential for growth.

We refine and position your business to ensure it meets investor expectations, focusing on the critical components that truly influence investment decisions.

Yes, but it depends on the type of investors you are targeting and how compelling your business case is. Some investors fund pre-revenue companies, especially in sectors like deep tech, AI, biotech, and next-gen SaaS, where market potential outweighs immediate cash flow.

However, without revenue or traction, you need to demonstrate:

A clear market gap and a scalable solution

A strong team with a proven ability to execute

A business model that shows a credible path to revenue

Early validation—this could be LOIs, pilot customers, partnerships, or product demand

For later-stage investors, revenue and traction are essential. We ensure your investment narrative is structured to attract the right investors at the right stage of your business.

No. While tech startups attract significant venture capital, investors actively deploy capital across multiple sectors. Industries such as real estate, infrastructure, healthcare, energy, financial services, and advanced manufacturing consistently secure funding from private equity firms, institutional investors, and strategic capital sources.

What matters most is:

Scalability & Profitability Potential – Investors back businesses that can grow, create value, and generate strong returns, regardless of industry.

Market Opportunity – If there’s a clear gap and your business has the right model to fill it, investors will be interested.

Execution & Competitive Positioning – Businesses that have a clear strategy and a strong team are attractive to investors, no matter the sector.

We work across all high-growth and capital-intensive industries, structuring investment cases that align with investor mandates beyond just tech.

Not necessarily. How much control you retain depends on how your deal is structured. With the right strategy, you can raise capital while minimizing dilution and maintaining operational control.

‍Key considerations:

Equity vs. Debt – Raising capital through debt or structured financing options allows you to retain full ownership.

Investor Terms – Control mechanisms like voting rights, board seats, and veto provisions can be negotiated to protect founder authority.

Multi-Round Strategy – Raising smaller, staged rounds at increasing valuations can reduce overall dilution.

We ensure our clients raise capital on terms that align with their long-term vision, balancing growth capital with founder control.

No. While financial projections are a key component of any investment decision, they are only one part of the equation. Investors look beyond numbers to assess:

Market Opportunity & Competitive Edge – How your business differentiates itself and the scale of the market you are addressing.

Team & Execution Capability – Whether your leadership has the ability to execute and drive growth.

Scalability & Business Model – Investors want proof that the business can scale efficiently and generate long-term returns.

Strong financials alone won’t secure capital—investors need to see a holistic investment case that combines market potential, execution capability, and scalability. We ensure your investor narrative is compelling beyond just projections.

The most common mistakes include:

Lack of Investor Readiness – Poor financials, weak business positioning, and unprepared leadership can derail investor interest.

Targeting the Wrong Investors – Wasting time pitching to investors who don’t align with your sector, stage, or funding needs.

Over- or Under-Valuation – Pricing your business too high scares off investors; pricing too low leads to unnecessary dilution.

Weak Deal Structuring – Failing to negotiate favorable terms can lead to losing control, excessive dilution, or misaligned investor incentives.

No Clear Use of Funds – Investors expect a detailed breakdown of how their capital will accelerate growth and drive returns.

We ensure businesses avoid these pitfalls by executing a structured, investor-aligned fundraising process that optimizes capital success.

No. While having investor connections can help, CÌAAN provides direct access to 2M+ accredited investors, including private equity firms, venture capitalists, family offices, and institutional investors.
