Not every founder is in the same spot, so Elevate isn’t either.

Round Prep prepares you to raise. Round Ready helps you navigate the raise and get to the cheque.

Which one’s you?

Getting to investment-ready ahead of a raise.

“Get investment-ready, one milestone at a time.”

Round Prep is for founders preparing to raise their next round. You know you need to fundraise, but your materials, story, and approach aren’t quite there yet.

Over 4 months, you’ll build the foundation you need to enter the market confidently, including your pitch, financial narrative, data room, and understanding of fundraising mechanics.

Turning your raise into a close.

“You’re in the arena. We’re with you every step of the way.”

Round Ready is for founders who are actively raising, or planning to launch their raise in the next 1–2 months. Your core materials are in place, and you’re ready for hands-on support through the raise.

Over 4 months, you’ll meet regularly in facilitated, founder-led sessions. Rather than following a set curriculum, you’ll bring your live fundraising challenges and work through them in real time with your facilitator and peers, getting expert feedback as you navigate investor conversations, diligence, negotiation, and maintaining momentum.

READY TO MOVE YOUR ROUND FORWARD?

  • Opportunities to be considered for invitations to Spring’s invite-only Investor Showcase and Invest Together, subject to fit and availability.

we’ve got a seat for you at the table.

"Through Spring's investor readiness support, we went from pre-seed to seed stage. We updated our investor materials and data room with confidence, hired a new fractional CFO, and built an investment roadmap we could actually defend."

Catherine Winckler

"Spring's Scale Ready is a must for start-ups preparing to fundraise. It's practical and action-oriented, with real-world examples from founders who share both their successes and failures. I feel much more prepared for my pre-seed round."

Shazhan Amed
