Equity Capital Raising

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.

Assess the adviser against the transaction size, sector and geography; the quality of its investor-screening method; senior involvement; preparation capability; conflicts; process reporting; fee transparency; and its ability to support diligence and term-sheet comparison. Ask to see the proposed deliverables and qualification fields before any outreach begins.

The target list should record each investor's sector, stage, geography, cheque size, preferred instrument, governance requirements, relevant portfolio or transaction evidence, conflicts, relationship route and the reason the investor fits the mandate. It should be prioritised and updated as feedback is received.

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.

On a well-prepared mandate, Matchpoint targets a first term sheet within 30 days, with closing several weeks later depending on diligence and structure. Preparation — the equity story, financial model and data room — is what compresses the timeline, so we build those before going to market.

Investors expect a clear equity story, a defensible financial model, an investor deck and an organised data room. Matchpoint prepares all of these with you before any approach, so the company goes to market once, credibly, rather than testing investors with unfinished materials.

Real estate, technology, industrials, consumer, healthcare and financial services, from seed through pre-IPO. Equity tickets typically run USD 5m–300m, raised from private equity, venture capital, family offices, sovereign wealth funds and strategic investors across the UAE, India, Europe and beyond.

For a USD 10 million equity raise in Abu Dhabi, screen growth-equity funds, regional private-equity firms, Abu Dhabi and GCC family offices, sector-aligned strategic investors and later-stage venture funds, ideally through a partner-led adviser such as Matchpoint Partners. Select targets on verified criteria: cheque size, sector mandate, geography, revenue and profitability thresholds, valuation approach, governance requirements and holding period. Prepare the equity story, cap table, financial model, valuation support and diligence-ready data room before any approach. Matchpoint Partners structures equity raises of USD 5m to 300m and manages targeted investor processes across a curated base of 5,000+ investor and lender relationships, subject to mandate fit, diligence, applicable regulation and a formal engagement.

For a first round of about USD 1 million in the UAE, approach angel investors and syndicates, pre-seed and seed venture funds, and family offices that back early-stage companies. At this size, materials quality matters: prepare a tight pitch deck, a three-statement model, a clear use-of-funds plan and a data room. Matchpoint undertakes corporate-finance mandates from USD 5m upwards.

There is no fixed figure; dilution is a function of how much you raise divided by the post-money valuation, so a USD 5m raise at a USD 20m pre-money implies giving up 20 percent. The right answer balances the capital you genuinely need against the valuation the numbers support and the ownership you want to keep for future rounds and the team. Over-raising at a soft valuation is the common, expensive mistake. Matchpoint Partners models the trade-off and supports a valuation you can defend before you go to market, subject to mandate fit, diligence, applicable regulation and a formal engagement.

Engagements ordinarily combine a retainer with a success fee. Terms are agreed in writing before work begins and calibrated to the mandate’s size, scope and complexity.

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.
