THE SITUATION

SignalFisher had evolved significantly, but the full value of the business was not yet reflected in how investors categorised it.

The opportunity was to make its scalability, AI-powered security testing platform, proprietary data and technology much more visible in the investor story.

HOW THE CASE WAS BUILT

01
Sharpen the positioning
Working with the founders, we crystallised the strongest value drivers around scalability, technology, proprietary data and market position.
02
Build the investor case
I translated the positioning into a clear, evidence-based equity story, financial case and investor materials.
03
Run the fundraising process
I prepared the founders closely for investor discussions and ran the process, negotiations, due diligence and closing through to completion, supported by a senior specialist on due diligence.

THE OUTCOME

SignalFisher completed its CHF 12 million Series A.

The process gave investors a clearer view of the company’s scalability, technology and long-term value. The financing supports the company’s international expansion and the further development of its AI-supported cybersecurity offering.
