Capital raising

Targeted capital

Investor outreach focused on mandate, fit, and the shape of the raise.

What it is

Targeted capital means identifying and prioritising the investors whose mandate, sector focus, cheque size, and stage actually fit the raise.

The aim is a focused process across funds, family offices, strategics, and institutions—not a broad blast of outreach that ignores what each investor can consider.

Where it fits

  • A raise with a defined sector or stage
  • An opportunity seeking institutional or strategic capital
  • A company that needs to prioritise limited outreach capacity
  • A process where fit matters as much as access

What shapes it

  • The investor’s mandate, sector focus, and stage preference
  • Expected cheque size and the size of the raise
  • The instrument, governance, and return profile
  • The company’s facts, timing, and market conditions

How we approach it

We work with the company, its attorneys, and CPA firms to understand what kind of capital fits before prioritising outreach. The process is confidential and keeps the company’s information and investor conversations disciplined.

Stapleton Frost arranges and advises on capital raising; it does not provide the capital directly. The target list follows the company’s facts and the investor’s mandate—not a volume metric. Outcomes and terms depend on the company, the market, and the investor, and we do not promise a raise or a specific outcome.
