Capital raising services in the US

The US raises more venture capital than any other country, with a market large enough to support dedicated funds at every stage from $500k pre-seed cheques to $500M+ growth rounds.

The platform built by OpenAI, Anthropic, Scale AI, and Anduril in AI and defence has pulled in a new generation of crossover and non-traditional investors alongside the established Sequoia, a16z, Accel, and Lightspeed franchises.

We work with mid- to late-stage US companies raising growth capital and help them get the best terms: our extensive VC investor network, disciplined pitch deck and operating model preparation, and end-to-end process management move founders from first LP conversation to a signed term sheet efficiently and on the right economics.

Raising venture capital in the US

The US has the deepest and most standardised VC market in the world. NVCA model documents, the SAFE, and a well-defined set of round mechanics make most US rounds faster and more predictable to close than equivalent European raises.

NVCA model documents

NVCA model documents (term sheet, stock purchase agreement, voting agreement, IRA, ROFR/co-sale) are the industry standard for Series Seed through Series E in the US. Almost every priced US venture round starts from this baseline and negotiates around it.

SAFEs dominate pre-priced rounds

The Y Combinator SAFE is the dominant pre-priced instrument in the US - used for pre-seed and seed bridges, often before a priced lead is in place. Standard terms: post-money valuation cap, discount, MFN clause. Convertible notes are still used but SAFEs are the default at pre-seed and seed.

Round structure norms

Priced rounds use 1x non-participating liquidation preference with broad-based weighted average anti-dilution as the standard. Pay-to-play, full ratchet and multiple preferences are rare and signal a distressed or down round. Founder vesting (4-year, 1-year cliff) is universal.

QSBS shapes structuring

The five-year holding requirement for QSBS qualification drives almost every US founder and early-investor decision. Conversions of SAFEs into Series Seed, secondary sales and corporate restructurings are all routinely tested against QSBS preservation.

CFIUS foreign investment review

The Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States reviews investments by non-US persons in US businesses dealing with critical technology, critical infrastructure or sensitive personal data. Mandatory filings apply in some scoped sectors regardless of size; voluntary filings are common in others. Adds 30 to 90 days to closing when triggered.

Closing mechanics and HSR

Closings are typically same-day signing and funding with documents executed via DocuSign. Hart-Scott-Rodino antitrust notification applies to large transactions but rarely triggers in venture rounds (the size-of-person and size-of-transaction tests are well above typical seed and Series A cheques).

What if not VC? Non-equity funding in the US

US startups often layer non-dilutive capital alongside or instead of equity. R&D credits, federal grants, venture debt and revenue-based finance can extend runway by 12-24 months without giving up shares.

Section 41 R&D credit

Federal R&D tax credit of 6-10% of qualifying research expenditure, claimable annually. Early-stage companies can apply up to $500k per year against payroll taxes rather than income tax - useful for pre-revenue startups with no income tax to offset.

SBIR and STTR grants

Federal small-business research grants administered through agencies (NIH, NSF, DoD, DoE). SBIR Phase I awards up to $300k; Phase II up to $2M+. STTR requires a research-institution partner. Most relevant for deeptech, life sciences, climate and dual-use sectors.

State and city programmes

Most major US states run startup-focused programmes: California's IBank loan guarantees, NY's Empire State Development grants, Massachusetts MassDevelopment, Texas Enterprise Fund. Non-dilutive but state-specific, slow and best stacked with federal R&D and SBIR.

Venture debt

Hercules Capital, TriplePoint, Bridge Bank, JPMorgan Innovation Economy and First Citizens (ex-SVB) provide ARR-backed loans typically alongside or shortly after a priced equity round. Most active venture debt market in the world.

Revenue-based financing

Capchase, Pipe, Arc and Clear.co advance cash against forward revenues for SaaS, ecommerce and consumer-subscription businesses. Faster to draw than equity, repaid as a share of monthly revenue. Sits between bank debt and venture debt on the cost curve.

Crowdfunding (Reg CF, Reg A+)

Republic, Wefunder and StartEngine cover Reg CF (up to $5M per year) and Reg A+ (up to $75M). Used most often by consumer brands, hardware companies and impact-driven businesses to combine capital with retail community.
