equity funding
Raise capital from the right international investor
Raising capital is not about sending a pitch deck to 200 investors. It is about finding the right investors, setting up meetings and creating trust between you and the investor.
We structure and execute international equity fundraising processes for ambitious founders raising €1M or more from venture capital, angel investors, family offices and growth funds. We cover seed, series A and growth rounds.
FOUNDER story
"We closed a stronger and more international round than we originally aimed for, and that's largely down to Canute's network and their ability to pull the right strings at the right moments. Having an experienced advisor by your side through a fundraise is invaluable – especially one with Canute's reach and depth."
Alexander Skjøth Piruli
Founder & CEO, Frankly Insure
The challenge
Fundraising breaks down if you:
Spend time on the wrong investors
Only focus on valuation, valuation, valuation
Don't understand the investor's process
Capital raising is a discipline – and a full-time job besides running a company.
How we work
This is the process we will guide you through.
Strategic positioning
We refine your one-liner, narrative and equity story.
Investor-ready materials
We develop or sharpen your one-pager, pitch deck, financial projections, valuation strategy and data room.
Investor targeting and introductions
We build an investor pipeline and leverage our international investor network. This is all about connecting you with the right investors.
Process management
We structure outreach, meetings and follow-ups.
Negotiation support
We support valuation discussions and term sheet negotiations. We are with you until the round closes.
FOUNDER story
"Fundraising was completely new territory for me. Canute helped me build the pitch, structure the investor communication and find the right investors – I genuinely think two months with them replaced a year of figuring it out alone."
Thomas Mardahl
Founder & CEO, Rejoose
