The round is won in the preparation.
Most raises are decided before the pitch, on whether the company can handle the second and third question. That is preparation, and it can be done properly.
Why rounds stall
A Swedish raise slows or fails on the same few things:
The model breaks when pushed
A model can stand until an investor changes a single assumption. Then nobody can say what comes next.
The data room appears only when diligence begins
Which shows the investor how the company really operates.
The equity story and the cap table disagree
Option plans, convertible notes and early side letters that nobody has reconciled before the term sheet arrives.
The founder is running the raise alone
The founder raises alongside running the company, and both suffer.
A fractional CFO who has raised before takes the process over from the founder. That covers the model, pack, data room and diligence, plus the questions that have yet to arrive. We match operators who have worked with venture funds, growth investors and strategic buyers.
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 Swedish raise
A round with funds, angels and option holders has many moving parts. We keep the engagement on course across them.
Check-ins while the round is open
At agreed points in the process we review progress with the founder and the CFO and name slippage early.
A second look at the cap table
Your CFO can test the model and the cap table with peers in the collective before investors do.
The raise outlasts a change
If the CFO has to step away, our record of the round lets the next search start straight away.
Matched for growth investors
We look for a CFO a Nordic growth fund will take seriously from the first meeting.

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.
