Frequently Asked Questions

What does an investment broker do for startups?

An investment broker helps startups and growth-stage companies raise capital in a structured and credible way.

This includes:

Assessing whether the business is investment-ready
Structuring the funding model (equity, structured equity, project finance, SPV, or strategic participation)
Preparing investor documentation (pitch deck, executive summary, financial overview)
Identifying suitable private investors, venture capital firms, family offices or strategic partners
Managing introductions and supporting due diligence

Globally, investors expect clarity, governance awareness and risk mitigation. An investment broker ensures your opportunity is presented professionally and aligned with investor expectations.

At Simplex Innovation, we focus on structured capital raising rather than casual introductions. This improves credibility and protects long-term reputation.

How do I find investors for my business internationally?

Finding investors globally requires preparation and targeted engagement.

Investors typically evaluate:

Market demand and scalability
Clear revenue model
Defined use of funds
Risk management strategy
Leadership credibility
Regulatory awareness (for example in sectors like energy, pharma, manufacturing or technology)

The most effective way to find investors is through structured positioning and sector-aligned targeting. This may include:

Family offices
Private equity firms
Venture capital funds
Strategic corporate investors
Infrastructure and asset-backed investors

Mass outreach rarely works. Investors respond to clarity, credibility and relevance.

We help founders identify the right capital partner for their stage and sector, whether raising locally or internationally.

Do I need a pitch deck to work with you?

No, you do not need a pitch deck before contacting us.

If you have one, we refine it.
If you do not, we help you build one.

What matters most is that you can clearly explain:

The problem your business solves
Why your solution is competitive
The size of the market opportunity
How you generate revenue
How much capital you require
How investors will see a return

Many founders, especially university spinouts, R&D teams and technical innovators, have strong intellectual property but need support translating it into investor-ready language.

We help structure that narrative clearly and professionally.

How long does the investment process take?

The timeline for raising capital varies globally depending on:

Stage of the company (pre-seed, seed, growth, expansion)
Sector (regulated industries take longer)
Investor type
Quality of documentation
Due diligence complexity

As a general guide:

Early-stage funding: 3 to 6 months
Growth or structured capital: 6 to 12 months
Infrastructure, manufacturing or regulated sectors: potentially longer

Capital raising is not instant. Preparation reduces delays and improves investor confidence.

Our approach focuses on disciplined readiness before approaching capital markets.

How do you charge for investment brokerage services?

Our fee structure is transparent and aligned with outcomes.

Typically this includes:

An advisory or preparation fee (based on scope and complexity)
A success-based fee linked to capital secured

We do not operate as commission-only introducers without preparation.

Our model reflects professional investment advisory standards, ensuring both founders and investors enter discussions with clarity and mutual confidence.

Fees are agreed in advance and structured according to the size and complexity of the raise.

Do you work with university spinouts and R&D teams?

Yes. We work with:

University spinouts
Deep-tech startups
Research and development teams
Advanced manufacturing innovators
Scientific and engineering founders

R&D-led businesses often require structured commercialisation support before approaching investors.

We help translate technical innovation into:

Clear commercial strategy
Defined revenue pathways
Protectable intellectual property positioning
Scalable growth models
Investor-ready financial projections

This ensures innovation is not diluted but presented in a way global investors understand and value.
