For Founders Raising £2M – £50M+

You've built the business.
Now raise the capital
it deserves.

Most founders lose 6–9 months to a fundraising process designed around advisor fees, not founder outcomes. We do it differently. Forensic preparation, a curated investor network with audited capital, and a 100% placement record since 2020. Your initial assessment is free — and so is our answer on whether we're the right partner for you.

A note from Jeremy

"I've sat on both sides of the table. The reason most rounds stall isn't the business — it's the preparation."

For twenty years I've watched brilliant founders walk into investor meetings underprepared, over-promised, and out-negotiated. Not because their business wasn't ready — but because the process was designed to favour intermediaries, not them.

Porters Place exists to flip that. Every materials pack we produce is forensically built, continuously updated, and owned by you. Every investor we introduce has been independently verified for capital and intent. And every conversation starts with a free, honest assessment of whether you're ready to raise — and what it will take if you're not.

Why Most Raises Fail

The traditional fundraising route is stacked against you.

"Founders are routinely outgunned in their own raise — not by better businesses, but by better-prepared ones."

The conventional path — advisors, brokers, the Big 4 — was built in an era of information scarcity. Today the problem is the opposite: too much data, processed too slowly, by teams incentivised to bill hours rather than deliver outcomes.

You arrive at the table with materials that are stale on delivery, an investor list of unknown quality, and a process that has burned management bandwidth for months. Investors hold every structural advantage. We exist to close that gap — before the first meeting.

Months lost to a static IM

A traditional Investor Memorandum is obsolete the day it ships. Market, competitor and financial conditions have already moved on — and you have no way to refresh it without paying again.

Unqualified investor pipelines

"Warm intros" too often mean cold reality: investors without capital, without mandate, or without genuine interest. You burn weeks discovering this — meeting by meeting.

Surface-level diligence that misses risk

Human teams cannot simultaneously monitor patents, regulatory filings, sentiment, competitive moves and academic research. The risks that surface mid-process kill more deals than weak businesses.

Advisors who exit at funding

Most advisors disappear the day the wire clears — leaving you to deploy capital without the strategic or technical capability that secured it in the first place.

Fees that punish the founder

Six-figure retainers and success fees stacked on top — with no guarantee, no accountability, and ownership of the materials residing with the advisor, not with you.

What You Get With Porters Place

Built around the founder.
Not the intermediary.

A forensically rigorous, AI-powered process — paired with a curated network of investors with audited capital — that compresses what conventionally takes 9 months into a structured engagement designed to close.

01 · Preparation

A living Investor Memorandum

Powered by ABC™, our five-phase agentic AI engine. Continuously updated, forensically stress-tested across financial, regulatory, IP and market dimensions — and yours to keep, permanently.

02 · Access

A pre-qualified investor network

Every investor in our network has been independently verified for capital adequacy ($50M+ on deposit) and commercial intent. No exploratory calls. Briefed introductions only.

03 · Execution

A partner that stays post-close

Through our strategic partnership with LSP, you gain enterprise transformation and AI execution capability the day the round closes — so the capital actually deploys against the plan that raised it.

PPi × LSP × ABC™

Three capabilities. One integrated partnership behind your raise.

Most advisors sell a single deliverable — a deck, a list, a process — and disappear at funding. We deliver an integrated stack designed to get you funded and deploy that capital with operational credibility from day one.

"You're not hiring an advisor. You're plugging into an investment infrastructure, a strategic operator, and an AI engine that runs continuously on your behalf."
PPi · Investment Infrastructure

Porters Place Investments

Curated Investor Access · Forensic Preparation · Capital Introduction

PPi is the investment platform that founders plug into. We've spent two decades curating a network of institutional investors, family offices and HNW principals — every one independently verified for $50M+ on deposit and active commercial intent. We don't run auctions or blast decks; we make briefed, structured introductions only when your raise is genuinely ready.

What it means for founders

  • No cold lists or "warm intros" of unknown quality — every investor is mandate-verified
  • You own every document we produce — permanently, with no advisor lock-in
  • A free, honest initial assessment — we'll tell you straight if you're not ready
  • 100% placement rate since 2020 because we only take on raises we can close
  • Confidentiality protected end-to-end — NDA-first, no market signalling
LSP · Strategic & AI Advisory

LSP

AI Strategy · Enterprise Transformation · Post-Investment Execution

LSP is our strategic partner — a senior advisory and delivery firm that strengthens your investment case before the raise and scales the business after it. They bring the operator credibility that turns a strong pitch into a credible, executable growth plan. Critically, LSP does not exit at funding. They stay embedded post-close so the capital actually deploys against the plan that raised it.

What it means for founders

  • Investment narrative pressure-tested by senior operators, not pitch coaches
  • AI strategy and transformation roadmap baked into the IM — investors expect it
  • Technical delivery capability (SDLC, agentic AI, governance) available on tap
  • Day-one post-close support: scaling, hiring plans, AI adoption, change management
  • Ongoing board-level advisory — strategic continuity through the next milestone
ABC™ · AI Business Checker

ABC™

Five-Phase Agentic Engine · Continuous · Multi-Domain

ABC™ is the proprietary AI engine that powers your IM. It is not a template, a chatbot or a one-off report — it's an autonomous agent that deploys specialist sub-agents across legal, financial, market intelligence, regulatory and competitive domains simultaneously, cross-references every finding, and keeps your investment case alive long after most IMs would be obsolete.

What it means for founders

  • A living Investor Memorandum — refreshed continuously, never stale on delivery
  • Risks, patents, regulatory shifts and competitor moves surfaced before investors find them
  • Financial projections stress-tested across multiple economic scenarios
  • Interactive IMi — investors explore the case themselves, with real-time benchmarks
  • Weeks of analyst work compressed into days — without losing rigour
  • Developed with SRI International · Endorsed by KPMG

Together, PPi, LSP and ABC™ remove the three things that kill most rounds: weak preparation, unqualified capital, and advisors who disappear at the wire.

Who We Work With

We're selective. That's the point.

Our 100% placement rate isn't an accident — it's a function of who we accept. If your business meets the criteria below, we'd like to talk. If it doesn't, we'll tell you straight, and where useful, point you somewhere better.

A Strong Fit

  • C-suite-led businesses in digital, AI, technology or scalable services
  • Raising between £2M and £50M+ (growth, scale-up, pre-IPO or strategic capital)
  • Demonstrable revenue, traction or contracted pipeline
  • Founders prepared to engage in a forensic, evidence-led process
  • Ambition to deploy capital, not just receive it

Not the Right Fit

  • Pre-revenue concept stage with no validated commercial model
  • Founders looking for a broker rather than a forensic partner
  • Businesses unwilling or unable to substantiate their numbers
  • Raises below £2M — better served by angel, accelerator or seed routes
  • Opportunities that cannot withstand independent AI-led diligence
