Startup Advisory for Growth

GetFive works with innovative and disruptive early-stage companies around the world, providing startup advisory services related to valuation, business plan/ financial model review, and preparation of pitch documents and deal support, including vendor due diligence.

The nuanced nature of early-stage companies is something we understand:

  • Investments in early-stage companies typically come with complex capital structures, ratchets, liquidation preferences, and tags along and drag along rights.
  • Impact of these terms on the relative value of preferences and equity shares in the capital structure

Our fee structure is suitable for most emerging growth companies and angel-funded startups.
