Antares Advisors Services
Most founders start off with a great idea that solves many of the world's problems, but are baffled by the myriad of funding options that are presented to them. Debt, equity, covenants, terms & conditions are confusing phrases that may have a significant impact to founders in terms of dilution when the appropriate exit opportunity presents itself.
​
Antares is a trusted advocate that advises founders in every stage of the company's life-cycle. In the startup phase, we help founders in clearly articulating the company's vision, mission, and value proposition to prospective investors, reviewing term sheets for covenants, conditions to ensure optimal cap table structure. During the growth stage, we help the executive team on optimizing business models, developing financial models, and streamlining operations to achieve maximum exit multiples. At the peak of the business operations, we advise founders and the Board of Directors on driving the company toward a exit, or liquidity event through potential M&A transactions.
Introductory Consultation
Introductory meeting with founders & management team to define the goal of the company. As an early-stage startup, the consultation helps define funding options (Angel, seed, Series-A, convertible note, debt instruments) available to the management team. After funding definition, the consultation structures a going-forward implementation strategy with a step-by-step tactical plan.
Strategic Planning Session
Oftentimes, founders develop a thesis on approaches to solving problems without properly considering a commercialization and productization plan. Management white-boarding sessions helps define product-market fit, quantify market size, review TAM/SAM analysis, develop channel strategy and business model, research competitors, create pricing strategy, and optimizing cost and organization to streamline operations.
Capitalization Strategy
With multiple complex capitalization options available to founders, what is the most appropriate funding option at this instance of the company's lifecycle? Capitalization strategy sessions start from the ground up in building a pro-forma financial statement, a valuation analysis based on comparables and DCF analysis to rationalize the pre-money valuation. The strategy sessions also covers how Gross Margin, EBITDA, and quality of revenue factors into potential funding discussions and multiples. Considering the current stage of the company, this session takes into account the cost of equity and debt for the company and advises on the funding paths the company should pursue.
