Investor Readiness is aimed at companies and start-ups that are preparing for a financing round or are about to approach investors, business angels, family offices or investment companies. 

In this phase, structure, logical arguments and professional expectation management determine whether investor discussions create trust. A negative first impression is almost impossible to correct.

ANACOR supports entrepreneurs in making their companies investor-ready in terms of content, structure and arguments – from an entrepreneurial and investor-oriented perspective.

Investor readiness is a clearly defined project with the aim of enabling qualified investor discussions on an equal footing. It is not capital brokerage and does not replace fundraising, but rather the necessary preparation for robust and connectable discussions.

Successful financing is not the result of pure mediation, but rather professional preparation. Pitch decks, financial planning, investment structures and, where applicable, valuations must be consistent, realistic and tailored to the target investors.

The basis for this is a critical analysis and targeted optimization of the documents in order to identify weaknesses and ambiguities at an early stage. This preparation is a key success factor and requires experience and a deep understanding of investor decision-making logic.
