What is Fundraising Support?

Fundraising support is end-to-end advisory that prepares your company to raise capital by making your numbers, narrative and materials investor‑ready, then helping you run a disciplined process from first conversations to signed terms, without sourcing investors or providing warm introductions.
CFO Ventures offers comprehensive fundraising support across Dubai, the UAE, Saudi Arabia and the broader MENA region. The work focuses on how you raise, not on who you raise from: we do not act as placement agents, do not broker capital and do not provide warm introductions to our own investor network.
We determine the size of the round, define a clear use of proceeds and test that the runway is realistic for your plan. We then build investor‑grade financial models under IFRS, with a dynamic thirteen‑week cash flow view, scenarios and sensitivities that boards, auditors and investors can challenge. All materials – one‑pager, teaser, full pitch deck and data room structure – are prepared to meet DIFC and ADGM expectations and to support Saudi CMA reviews.
Instead of “bringing investors”, we help you make the most of your own network and target list. Together we segment and prioritise the investor landscape in markets such as Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain and Oman by ticket size, stage and sector. Your team owns the outreach; our role is to ensure that messaging, materials and follow‑up cadence are consistent and professional so that every warm introduction and every contact you create is used effectively.
We advise on the choice of instruments used in Gulf markets – SAFEs, convertible notes, equity rounds, venture debt – and make cap table, dilution and governance impacts fully transparent. We support you in negotiating term sheets, aligning on valuation and milestones, and managing financial and KPI‑related due diligence alongside your legal and tax advisors, with compliance embedded throughout (UAE corporate tax, Saudi Zakat and GCC VAT).
Closing support covers conditions precedent, funds flow and timeline control, so that once you have investor interest the process is as fast and predictable as possible. The outcome is a funding round that fits your strategy and stage, with realistic expectations on both sides. If you are looking for fundraising consulting and capital‑raising support in the UAE or KSA that focuses on financial clarity, process and documentation, not on selling introductions, this is the service we provide.
