What We Deliver

Investor-Ready Materials

The difference between founders who raise and founders who don't is usually not the quality of the business. It's the quality of the materials. We make sure the business is presented in terms sophisticated investors understand and find credible.

01

Pitch Deck

10–15 slides covering problem, solution, market size (TAM/SAM/SOM), traction and KPIs, business model and unit economics, team and advisors, fundraising ask, and use of proceeds. Structured to answer the questions UAE and GCC institutional investors ask — in the order they ask them.

02

Investor-Ready Financial Model

3–5 year integrated financial projections — dynamic, fully linked P&L, balance sheet, and cash flow — with clear unit economics, pre-money/post-money valuation bridge, use of proceeds, and scenario analysis. Built to the standard expected by institutional VC investors and their due diligence teams.

03

Startup Valuation

Defensible pre-money valuation based on comparable GCC VC round multiples, revenue multiples, and investor return benchmarks. We advise on the valuation range that is credible to investors at the relevant funding stage — not aspirational, not undervalued.

04

Data Room

Organised, investor-ready virtual data room — corporate documents, cap table, shareholder agreements, contracts, IP ownership, financial statements, regulatory licences. Structured so that VC due diligence teams can complete their work quickly and without back-and-forth delays.

Frequently Asked Questions

VC Fundraising FAQs

VC fundraising advisory covers everything that goes into a successful venture capital raise — from preparing investor-ready materials (pitch deck, financial model, data room) through managing the VC process (investor targeting, introductions, term sheet negotiation, due diligence management). It focuses on the transaction itself: positioning the business correctly, preparing materials that close deals, and managing the process without distracting the founding team.
To raise VC in the UAE and GCC, you need: (1) a pitch deck (10–15 slides: problem, solution, market, traction, business model, team, financials, use of proceeds, ask); (2) an investor-ready financial model with clear unit economics and valuation bridge; (3) a data room (corporate documents, cap table, contracts, IP, financial statements); and (4) an investor targeting list of relevant UAE and regional VCs, family offices, and strategic investors for the sector and stage.
UAE startup valuations for VC rounds are primarily driven by comparable transaction multiples — revenue or ARR multiples from comparable regional companies at comparable stages, and recent GCC VC deal precedents. We advise founders on pre-money valuation ranges that are credible to institutional investors, based on UAE and GCC market benchmarks, the current funding climate, and traction metrics.
A UAE VC fundraising round typically takes 4–9 months from initial outreach to funds received. Preparation takes 3–6 weeks. Investor outreach and first meetings run 4–8 weeks. Due diligence and term sheet negotiation take 4–8 weeks. Legal closing takes 2–4 weeks. The process is faster when materials are ready before outreach starts and the investor pipeline is targeted correctly from the beginning.
No. Corvian Advisory charges fixed fees only — for preparation work (pitch deck, financial model, data room, startup valuation) and where applicable for process management retainers. All fees are agreed upfront. We do not charge success fees on capital raised.
