Independent advisory firm

Bridging Capital and Global Opportunities

Companies raising institutional capital are limited by the investors they can reach. Blitzrise's work is that constraint: identifying suitable counterparties, establishing the positioning, and conducting the engagement to introduction.

01
The firm

The investors for any financing exist. Reaching them is the work.

The work

The front end, in full.

Blitzrise introduces companies to investors they cannot reach on their own. Getting there is the work: positioning, investor materials, global screening, universe construction, and the whole of the preliminary correspondence, conducted through to the point an investor agrees to meet.

Executive attention is not required until a conversation warrants it.

  • Cross-border capital
  • Growth equity
  • PIPEs
  • Pre-listing financing
  • Uplisting
  • Bridge financing
  • Follow-on financing
  • Strategic investor search

*These are situations in which Blitzrise's work could be applicable, not services offered. Blitzrise Capital Inc. does not advise on or execute transactions. Its work is limited to positioning, marketing materials, and investor access.

Sectors

Blitzrise is sector agnostic.

Which investors hold the mandate, at what stage they enter, and what evidence they require are the same questions in every market. The screening, the segmentation, and the positioning discipline do not change.

What changes is a company's milestone architecture, and that is established at the outset of every mandate.

Coverage

A universe is not a list of who is known. It is a list of who is deploying.

Approach

How a company reaches the rest of the buy side.

01
The universe

Built from the record rather than from recollection. Deal activity, portfolio composition, comparable transactions, and disclosed filings, read for one question: which institutions are deploying into this position now.

That is distinct from which institutions invest in the sector, and it is not a question a list of relationships can answer.

02
The positioning

What a given class of investor requires before it will take a meeting, established before any contact is made. The story is then written so that it reads to them rather than to us.

The same company is assessed against a different mandate by every institution that sees it, and what one class treats as decisive, another does not evaluate at all.

03
The channel

The means to put it in front of the person who can act on it, at the scale the universe requires.

Reaching several hundred institutions is not a question of effort. It is infrastructure, and replicating it for a single financing costs more than a mandate does.

Reach

A company reaches the part of the buy side it already knows.
Blitzrise reaches the rest of it.

Markets covered
Engagements

The universe and the positioning are settled before a single investor is contacted. Everything after that is coverage, reported as it runs.
