Capital advisory and growth solutions
A path to investor-ready, founder-controlled growth.
Why this matters.
Many good businesses don’t fail in a raise—they stall. The story, the numbers, and the rules aren’t aligned, so every investor conversation becomes a re-explanation. We turn that alignment into the work: a clear use-of-funds, consistent financials, and a diligence trail that holds up under scrutiny.
What we run.
We lead a capital-readiness and execution project alongside your counsel: readiness scoring, a milestone plan, an investor-ready financial pack (built with/through your accountant), a tight deck and one-pager, and a version-controlled data room. We manage Q&A routing, diligence requests, and communication logs so nothing disappears into email threads or ad-hoc follow-ups.
How it stays compliant.
Offering language and investor access are led by your securities counsel. For 506(b), materials are shared privately and by invitation; for 506(c), a public-facing teaser can be paired with accredited-investor verification. We do not solicit investors or handle funds—we manage the process, documentation, and schedule that keep the raise controlled.
What you can expect.
In 8–14 weeks, you’ll have a clean financial pack, counsel-vetted materials, an organized data room, and a tracked path to investor access. The outcome is control with momentum: fewer surprises, cleaner diligence, and a raise you can run in parallel with the business.

What's in your way
How we remove it
- Incomplete or inconsistent financials
- No clear use-of-funds tied to ROI
- A story investors can’t follow
- Unclear which exemption fits (506(b), 506(c), 504, Reg CF)¹
- Too many vendors, no single owner of the timeline
- Readiness assessment and milestone plan
- Investor-ready financial pack²
- Comms log, Q&A routing, and weekly status through close
- Deck, one-pager, and counsel-vetted offering language
- Data room structure, version control, diligence checklist
Nurturing Success: Growth engineered for credibility and control
Inside counsel’s guardrails, we build and ship the work.
Reg D 506(b)/(c), Reg CF, or Reg A—each pathway has specific rules about what can be said and where. Offering language and investor access are set by securities counsel; within those guardrails, we execute the operating and communications tracks so the narrative, numbers, and files tell the same story on every surface. We don’t solicit investors or handle funds; we make the business legible and the process disciplined.
Many clients ask us to build the growth foundations that should have existed anyway: a real company website beyond the storefront, a simple SEO framework, core collateral, and founder/LinkedIn messaging. These assets stand on their own and, when you’re ready to raise, they become proof that the market can already “see” the company.
The working rhythm is simple: one plan, one owner of the timeline, one place for documents. Short weekly stand-ups replace midnight scramble. Momentum comes from sequence, not speed.

How a contracted-backlog industrial services firm funded mobilization without diluting control
Even profitable industrial operators can hit a growth ceiling when cash timing becomes the constraint—mobilization spend, equipment deposits, and net-60 terms collide with a fast-growing backlog. That was the reality for IronGate Industrial Services, an industrial maintenance and retrofit provider with strong demand but inconsistent job-costing and non-standard reporting that made investors hesitant. MKC helped unify underwriting into one backlog/WIP model, stand up diligence operations, and structure a confidential Regulation D 506(b) raise designed to expand investor reach while protecting founder leverage.

How a vertical SaaS platform scaled investor reach with a verification-ready 506(c) raise
In vertical SaaS, speed is everything—GTM hiring, integrations, and onboarding capacity must scale before competitors close the gap. ClearClaim Software had strong retention and growing enterprise pilots, but fundraising was inconsistent and lacked a compliant, scalable path for public-facing outreach. MKC rebuilt the investor story around unit economics and cohorts, standardized KPI reporting, and mapped the raise to Regulation D 506(c) to enable measured public communications supported by accredited-investor verification and a disciplined subscription workflow.

How a fast-growing consumer brand used Reg A to fund national expansion and build long-term trust
National expansion in CPG is capital-intensive—inventory builds, co-manufacturing capacity, and retail rollout often outpace traditional credit lines. Summit Trails Nutrition had strong demand across DTC and regional retail, but needed growth capital without giving up control to a single institutional investor. MKC translated growth into an investor-underwritable model tied to turns, margins, and distribution economics, then coordinated a Regulation A pathway that supports broader participation while establishing the reporting cadence and disclosure discipline required to scale credibility.
