Equity Financing Strategy & Readiness
We bring the capital experience, the investor network and the discipline to take you from first pitch to signed term sheet, with investors who genuinely want your project. We can show a de-identified list of the investors and channel partners we work with at a first conversation.
Raising equity capital, on your terms
MiDeer provides customised, risk-controlled equity financing advisory covering investor identification, due diligence, negotiation support and deal closing.
We work alongside you from first pitch to signed term sheet, aligning the right investor profile with your growth stage, valuation expectations and long-term ownership goals.
The Capital Behind the Method
Equity advisory is only as good as the capital experience behind it. The team leading your raise has sat on both sides of the table: managing a cross-border fund, running an angel investment club and directing a university research center that connects projects with government and enterprise capital.

Investor Identification
We profile your project against live mandates, stage fit and sector appetite, then shortlist the investors most likely to say yes, so your first pitch lands in the right room.
Due Diligence Support
We build your information room, stress-test your financials and rehearse the questions investors actually ask, so diligence runs on your terms, on schedule and without surprises.
Negotiation Advisory
We benchmark valuation and terms against comparable cross-border deals, then advise you line by line through the term sheet so you protect control without stalling momentum.
Deal Closing
We manage the closing process end to end, coordinating counsel, compliance and settlement paperwork so the capital lands in the timeframe you committed to.
Fund the growth without selling the company
Beyond traditional equity, we structure funding that does not dilute your shareholding. Three options come up most often.
Buyer prepayments
Customers or distributors pay against orders before delivery, so growth is funded by the sales it will generate.
Shared market development costs
A channel partner or supplier co-invests in market development, which lowers your upfront outlay and ties their commitment to the outcome.
Exclusivity as consideration
Exclusive distribution or supply rights are exchanged for prepayment or market investment, so no equity changes hands.
Our Capital & Funding work executes the deal: investor introductions, due diligence and closing. Our advisory work designs the structure and the options above.
- In 2013, we assisted the CarveCast project in obtaining Chinese government funding support, a non-dilutive source of capital.
- For a leading New Zealand health supplement company, we ran the process of finding and qualifying a buyer, an example of the equity path.
