Hire the Best Fundraising Consultants
in the United Arab Emirates

𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗲𝗿 𝗗𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗲 𝗔𝗻𝗮𝗹𝘆𝘀𝘁 & 𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗠𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗿 trained at PwC Academy Middle East, with experience preparing materials for capital raises, strategic transactions, and board-level decisions. If you're raising capital, pursuing an acquisition, or presenting to investors, your materials need to do more than inform - they need to convince. I help founders and executives communicate with clarity and credibility when the stakes are high. I've supported deal communications for sovereign wealth funds (Saudi PIF), institutional asset managers (BNP Paribas, Nordea), government entities (Dubai Economy & Tourism), and growth-stage startups across the US and Europe.

Most clients come to me at a specific moment: they have a meeting coming up, a deadline approaching, and materials that don't yet match the opportunity in front of them. Here's what I've learned after working on 100+ deals: investors and lenders aren't just evaluating your numbers. They're evaluating whether you understand your own business. The model, the deck, the business plan - these are proxies for your judgment. If the materials feel rough or the logic doesn't hold, confidence erodes before you've said a word. I help close that gap. I take the complexity in your head and turn it into clear, structured materials that build trust on the other side of the table. Whether it's a $2M seed round or a $20M debt facility, the standard is the same: institutional quality, defensible assumptions, and a narrative that earns conviction. My background spans institutional finance and government consulting. I left to focus on what I do best - building the financial models and investor materials that get deals across the line. 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗜 𝗱𝗲𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿: - Investor pitch decks and fundraising materials - Financial models for due diligence and valuation - Business plans and lender-ready packages - Board presentations and strategic analyses - Market research and competitive positioning 𝗦𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘀 𝗜'𝘃𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗲𝗱 𝗮𝗰𝗿𝗼𝘀𝘀: SaaS, Fintech, Real Estate, Healthcare/MedTech, Mobility, Infrastructure, Hospitality, eCommerce, Renewable Energy. 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗰𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗱𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸: "Working with Alex is more than just receiving a business plan - it's a comprehensive consulting experience that enhances your understanding of your business. Thanks to his exceptional work, I secured bank approval for my investment." (verifiable on my Upwork profile) 𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗺𝗲: - Materials built to institutional standards - Clear assumptions and documentation throughout - A walkthrough call to align on logic and narrative - Revisions until it's right 𝗦𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱? Send me a message with your timeline and context. I'll respond with a proposal and, where helpful, a suggested structure. Looking forward to hearing what you're working on. Best, Alex PS - If you're in a niche industry or have an unconventional ask, still reach out. I've worked across enough sectors to adapt quickly.

Helping founders, leadership teams, and SMEs navigate growth, fundraising, and transformation through hands on execution, cross functional leadership, and alignment across operations, technology, finance, marketing, sales, and organisational growth. ✔ Advised 200+ startups and SMEs globally ✔ Supported fundraising initiatives exceeding $25M+ ✔ 10 years in leadership roles at GE ✔ Top Rated with 100% Job Success Score ✔ Startup Mentor at Surrey University and Ignyte Since 2019, I have worked full time as a Strategic Advisor and Fractional COO, partnering with founders, leadership teams, investors, and portfolio companies across growth, fundraising, operational transformation, and scaling initiatives. I combine the discipline, governance, and execution rigor developed during 10 years in leadership roles at GE with the agility and hands on approach required in startups and growing businesses. Unlike specialists focused on a single function, I operate across the business with a 360 degree perspective, aligning people, processes, technology, finance, operations, culture, and governance around common objectives. My role is often to act as the glue between leadership, investors, teams, and external stakeholders, ensuring priorities are clear, communication flows effectively, and execution remains on track. How I Help ✔ Fractional COO and Operational Leadership ✔ Strategic Planning and Execution ✔ Startup Growth and Scaling ✔ Fundraising Readiness, Financial Modelling, and Investor Materials ✔ KPI, OKR, and Performance Management Frameworks ✔ Business Transformation and Process Optimisation ✔ Cross Functional Leadership Across Product, Technology, Operations, Finance, and Commercial Teams ✔ Stakeholder Management Across Leadership Teams, Investors, Boards, Clients, and Partners My Approach I do not just provide recommendations. I work closely with leadership teams to drive execution, remove bottlenecks, align stakeholders, improve communication, establish accountability, and ensure initiatives translate into measurable business outcomes. I am highly data driven, hands on, and comfortable operating in ambiguous environments where priorities evolve quickly and information is incomplete. Whether supporting a startup preparing for its first funding round or a growing business navigating a complex transition, my focus is always the same: helping leadership teams make better decisions, align priorities, and execute with confidence. If you need a strategic partner who can operate across the business, connect strategy with execution, and help your organisation move forward with greater clarity, alignment, and momentum, let's talk.

I help startups, corporates, and investors make smarter decisions through clear financial models, market research, and strategy support.

Clients hire me when they need: - Excel-based financial modeling and valuation (DCF, comps, precedent) - Market analysis and business plan development - Investor presentations and fundraising support - Clear, actionable insights that translate complex data into decisions I value strong communication, timely delivery, and long-term client relationships.
