Who owns Aucta?

Unusually these days, we are British family owned & managed, with two generations currently working alongside our wonderful colleagues. Consequently, we are free to make long term decisions for the benefit of our clients. Additionally, our family’s wealth & reputation is inextricably linked to our performance ‘on the field’ which we believe provides exemplary alignment with our clients & partners.

Where are you based?

Our HQ is in Dubai, UAE with representation in the UK & USA, we are a globally remote firm.

What do you do?

For those seeking company & fund gems to invest in before they are widely discovered, we offer a scouting solution for angel & super angel investors.

For those raising capital we offer three solutions:

Elite - Cost effective sales, marketing & capital advisory calls available 6 days per week

Pro - Bespoke roadshows connecting your brand with hand-picked investors

Expert - Our legendary retreats where we gather together investors, raisers & partners in funky private venues for a memorable, action packed day.

How do I know your investor network wants my fund or products?

Many funds & founders ask for a feasibility phase, before committing to a roadshow or retreat. Simply book a paid advisory call at GBP199 & we will gather the information we need to approach a sample of our network to establish indicative demand for your fund.

How are you different than other cap intro firms?

We’re family owned.

We’ve walked in our client’s and investor’s shoes.

There’s over 30 years of capital raising experience here.

We’re cost effective for early stage firms.

We’re international.

There are digital & live solutions available to suit most requirements.

How do you charge?

For seats at our cap intro retreats or roadshows we bill an attendance fee followed by a success fee, all by invoice. Our advisory calls are billed via your credit/debit card within our calendar booking application.

Are you pro-active to secure tickets for us?

Immediately after a retreat or roadshow our team will contact you & agree the target investors. They will then manage the follow-up, communications, requests for information, negotiations and ticket administration for 45-days which we find to be the time period where most heavy lifting is needed after introductions are made. After 45-days, our team remain available to you via paid call or video call.

How many retreats and seats do you offer?

To maintain service standards, we curate around 4 retreats & 20 roadshows per year. Accordingly, competition for those seats is significant and we advise booking an early conversation with our team.

What topics do you cover in the advisory calls?

From experience, we are mostly helping firms with their sales, marketing and capital formation requirements. Specifically, in recent months we have provided actionable advice on everything from web builds, LinkedIn strategy, podcasts, photo-shoots, talent hiring & firing, digital marketing documents, budgets, fund design & jurisdiction.

Which asset classes & sectors do you focus on?

We work with emerging fund managers in all asset classes. Plus, when helping companies raise equity or debt we lean toward technology companies to include all these sectors; (climate/property/regulatory/SAAS/blockchain)

Tell me about the investors you work with?

Given we like to scout for, find & work with clients who are to become tomorrow’s stars & unicorns we prefer to work with ‘super angel’ private, family office & fund of fund investors who can write tickets in the 6-8 figure range. We tend not to work with large institutions or those with ODD processes more suited to 9-11 figure funds and opportunities.

What is your sweet-spot raise size ?

For funds we like to target $10mn to $100mn within the first year or 2 of working together. For companies we can add value for a raise in excess of $1mn through to $50mn.
