Fractional

Chief Funding Officer

In contrast to traditional funding advice or a classic CFO, our fractional Chief Funding Officer goes far beyond the usual services and offers a completely new type of financing support specifically for deep tech and innovation companies. This unique service combines the expertise of a strategic CFO with in-depth knowledge of the financing landscape and investor relations.

The result? A customized, flexible financing approach tailored to the long-term development cycles and high capital requirements of deep tech projects.

Our CFO is not an external consultant, but a strategic partner who holistically plans and supports your financing and growth strategy.

This gives you access to an integrated financing model that allows you to strategically combine funding and investor money. This way, we ensure that your company is optimally financed in every phase of development and that you can successfully realize your vision.

The challenge for deep tech companies: financing that grows with them

Deep tech innovations face a particular challenge: their projects are complex, capital-intensive and often require years of development time.

While grants can be an important source of funding, access is not easy. Many programs are difficult to access and require significant effort to apply for and administer.

In addition, traditional financing models are often not tailored to the specific needs of these companies. Neither a traditional CFO nor a typical funding consultancy cover the entire spectrum - from selecting the right programs to the flexible integration of private investors.

Our Chief Funding Officer closes exactly this gap and creates a financing strategy that adapts to the special requirements of deep tech projects and ensures the necessary capital flow in every phase - across all phases!
