Fundraising advisory

Advisory that gets a raise structured, packaged and in front of capital.

We work alongside founders, project developers and operating companies who are serious about raising USD capital. From first principles to first commitments — with you, not just for you.

Introductions route through the Sable Bridge group · USD-denominated · Compliance-first

Fundraise
01 — Structuring

The right structure before the first conversation.

Raises that reach capital with an undefined vehicle, unclear governance or unresolved exchange-control issues rarely close. We start every engagement by resolving structure — legal vehicle, jurisdiction, waterfall, compliance perimeter — so that when capital asks, the answers are already documented.

  • Investment vehicle and jurisdiction selection
  • Waterfall and LP economics
  • Exchange-control pre-clearance (RBZ)
  • Governance and reporting framework
02 — Data room

A data room that stands up to institutional scrutiny.

Institutional investors run deep due diligence. We organise, curate and present your underlying documentation — financials, titles, permits, contracts, technical reports — to the standard that LP analysts and fund-of-funds expect. No scrambling mid-process.

  • VDR structure and document taxonomy
  • Financial statement presentation
  • Regulatory and title verification
  • DDQ response preparation
03 — Investor materials

Materials written for the people reading them.

A teaser written for a local audience reads very differently from one that'll land on a family-office analyst's desk. We produce teasers, investment memoranda, financial models and DDQ responses to LP-grade standard — clear, specific, and honest about the risks.

  • Teaser and executive summary
  • Investment memorandum
  • Financial model (base, upside, stress)
  • DDQ response pack
04 — Introductions

Introductions to capital with real frontier-market appetite.

Cold outreach is not the model. Introductions route through the Sable Bridge group network — family offices, fund-of-funds and institutional mandates that have confirmed, active appetite for Zimbabwe and frontier Africa. We make introductions when the raise is ready, not before.

  • Family offices — Southern Africa and Europe
  • Fund-of-funds with frontier Africa mandates
  • Development finance institutions (DFIs)
  • Institutional co-investors
