Be ready before the first meeting.
Rounds are usually decided before anyone pitches, on whether the company can answer the second and third question. That is preparation, and preparation can be bought.
Why rounds stall
A Norwegian raise slows or fails on the same few things:
The model falls over when changed
It stands until an investor changes one input, and then nobody knows what happens to the rest.
The data room is assembled once diligence starts
Which shows the investor how the company is run.
The funding is not sequenced
Public support, a private round and a bank loan, each with its own timetable and conditions, none planned against the others.
The raise has no owner
The founder runs the process on top of the company and both suffer.
A fractional CFO who has been through a raise runs the process for you: the model, the pack, the data room and the diligence answers, including the ones nobody has asked for yet. We match operators who have worked with private investors, banks and public funding bodies.
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 Norwegian raise
Public funding, private rounds and bank loans each run on their own clock. We keep the engagement steady across them.
Regular reviews while you raise
The founder and the CFO meet us at agreed points during the raise, and timetable slips are named early.
The model, checked twice
Your CFO can test the model with peers in the collective before a funding body or investor sees it.
The raise keeps its footing
If the CFO steps away mid-raise, our notes on the round and the company let a new search begin at once.
Matched for Nordic money
We look for a CFO who is credible with a Norwegian angel, a Nordic fund and a public funding body alike.
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.
