What JCA Fundraising Advisory Delivers
Investor Network Access
Direct introductions to active angel investors, family offices, VC funds, and PE firms focused on South India and sector-specific mandates.
Investor-Grade Materials
Financial models, pitch decks, information memoranda, and data rooms built to institutional investor standards — maximising conversion from pitch to term sheet.
FEMA & Tax Compliance

Valuation Credibility
Independent valuation certificates (DCF-based) prepared by registered valuers — required for FDI investments and angel tax exemption.
Term Sheet Negotiation
Experienced negotiators advising on valuation, liquidation preference, anti-dilution, board rights, and drag/tag provisions — protecting founder interests.
Post-Round Compliance
SHA, ESOP scheme, PAS-3 and MGT-14 filings, share allotment, and cap table update after the close of every funding round.
How JCA Manages Your Fundraise
Fundraising Readiness
Assess financial position, unit economics, and growth story. Identify gaps in traction, team, or financials that investors will flag. Build a fundraising readiness checklist.
Investor Materials
Prepare pitch deck (10–15 slides), financial model (3–5 year projections), and information memorandum. All materials aligned to investor criteria for the target round size and stage.
Valuation Analysis
Prepare pre-money valuation analysis using DCF and comparable transaction benchmarks. Provide DPIIT valuation certificate where angel tax exemption is required.
Investor Targeting
Identify and shortlist investors best matched to sector, stage, and round size. Prepare outreach strategy — warm introductions prioritised over cold outreach.
Investor Outreach
Confidentially approach target investors with teaser and NDA. Manage pipeline, follow-ups, and investor updates. Track investor feedback and refine pitch.
Management Presentations
Prepare founders for investor meetings. Anticipate and rehearse challenging questions on financials, competition, and exit. Attend management presentations as advisors.
Term Sheet Review
Review and negotiate term sheet — valuation, preference structure, anti-dilution, board rights, vesting, and restrictive covenants. Advise on market standards and founder-friendly clauses.
Due Diligence Support
Set up and manage data room. Respond to investor queries. Coordinate financial, legal, and tax DD conducted by the investor.
Closing & FEMA Filings
SHA and SPA execution. Share allotment. PAS-3 and MGT-14 ROC filings. FEMA FC-GPR (foreign investment) or RBI reporting where applicable. Cap table updated.
