Bridges, structured rounds and down-round navigation for companies priced in a different market.
Image · Structured Equity & Down-Round AdvisoryA quarter of growth-stage financings are now down rounds, and the structure — liquidation preferences, pay-to-play, recapitalisations — often matters more than the headline price. Matchpoint advises founders and boards on structured equity: bridge instruments, preferred terms, investor negotiations and the mathematics of dilution, so the company raises what it needs without giving the next round away.
As part of our Equity practice, Matchpoint Partners has originated and led $2+ billion of transactions across four continents — and every equity mandate is led by a partner, from first call to close.

A clean down round often beats a structured flat round — 2–3x preferences can cost more than a lower price; we model both before you choose.
Sometimes — venture debt, revenue-based instruments or a strategic investor can bridge to a better market; the analysis is deal-specific.
Matchpoint prepares your equity story and investor materials, maps your raise against a curated base of PE funds, family offices, SWFs, VCs and strategic investors, and runs the process to close. Typical equity tickets range from USD 5m to USD 300m.
Venture capital funds early-stage, high-growth companies (seed to Series C) for minority equity, while private equity backs more established businesses via growth equity, buy-outs or minority stakes. We raise both, matching the investor to your stage and sector.
Yes. We support founders from MVP traction through growth rounds — building the pitch, model and go-to-market narrative, then introducing the company to seed and growth-stage investors across MENA and India.
Matchpoint works primarily on a success fee, with a modest retainer to cover execution. Fees are agreed in writing up front and scaled to the size and complexity of the transaction — with no hidden costs.
Most mandates reach a first term sheet within 30 days, depending on diligence readiness and structure; closing follows once terms are agreed.
A short, confidential scoping call and NDA; we structure the requirement and prepare materials, then run a competitive process across our 5,000+ investor and lender relationships, and negotiate to close — with a partner leading at every step.
