We exist so great ideas get funded, no matter who you know.
You don’t need a thousand investors. You need the ten who get your work. We find them and get you ready to meet them.
Some of the most important work today protects and prolongs life, on Earth and in space. We put our tools behind the people doing it, so it gets funded.
Vantage shows who funds what. my.raise.inc gets a founder ready to raise and keeps the round on track. Scout keeps the relationships and the opportunities in them.

Look after the people who matter to your company.
A few people you know well are worth more than a long list of contacts. After a call or a coffee, give Scout a note, a voice memo or a photo of a card. It keeps what each person cares about and the opportunities that came up, and suggests introductions you could make.

We put our time into the people building the future: scientists and technologists, and the investors and partners who back them to get there. It’s how we choose to leave a legacy.
- In it for the long runPlans that run a hundred years and more.
- Care for people and the planetWork that protects and prolongs life.
- Generous and honestQuick to share what they know. Honest about what isn’t ready yet.
Every free deck assessment and every place at our events contributes to something bigger.
The companies we work with protect and prolong life. The Earth Charter’s principles on caring for people and the planet guide what we back and build. We support the Charter.
We’re a member of B1G1, Business for Good. Giving is built into each deck assessment and each place at the events we host.
We support the Earth CharterFrom founders and speakers our team has worked with
“They helped us uncover some of our most powerful ideas and messages. They deeply understand how space companies think and where they are going.”
Bianca CefaloCEO and founder, Space DOTS
More from the founders and speakers we’ve worked with.
From founders and speakers our team has worked with.
“They were unparalleled in helping me translate very space-specific messaging to a broader, non-space audience.”
“When I was working through where TreeStock was headed and what it should become, they challenged my thinking in ways that turned my outlook on its head.”
“They revolutionised not only the way that I work, but the way that I think. Pure magic.”
“I could not have asked for a better mentor by my side. Besides their never ending enthusiasm and interest in your story, they genuinely want you to succeed.”
