Why Dissent Fundraise
Most advisors have never
run a fundraise.
We have.
The difference between advice and execution is experience. Our team has sat at the negotiating table as a company representative, coordinated due diligence from inside the data room, and built the financial models that ultimately closed deals. That changes how we advise.
We are CA-trained, IB-experienced, and founder-facing. We know what your numbers need to say — and how to make them say it — because we've been on the other side evaluating them.

Financial Model & Business Plan
Driver-based models, scenario analysis, and projection decks built for investor scrutiny — not just internal planning.

Structured, indexed data rooms that handle multiple simultaneous diligences without disrupting your operations. We've managed it from inside.

Targeted outreach to angels, VCs, family offices, and institutional investors. Founder preparation for pitch and Q&A. Iterative deck refinement based on live feedback.
