Aethon Partners
Aethon Partners is a boutique management advisory firm that partners with entrepreneurs to provide capital solutions, from the seed stage all the way through to pre-IPO. We simplify complex business challenges and structure partnership-style investments to create “all-win situations” that benefit both the company and its shareholders.
How We Can Help You
We act as a long-term "Strategic CFO" committed to accelerating companies from their earliest funding rounds through to a successful exit. Our primary focus is to deliver the best outcome for your business while maximising efficiencies and minimising distractions during the preparation and execution phases, enabling you and your team to focus on the overall priorities of your business and the daily operations.
Comprehensive Fundraising Support
We are focused on fundraising for both equity and debt, company-building initiatives, and M&A. Ahead of any transaction, our main goal is making a business ”market-ready“, and we fully appreciate that this is a complex and sensitive process, with significant value at stake. Owners and business leaders have told us they would have approached their strategic transition or transaction differently, had they known beforehand what they learned throughout the process of preparing to go to market and executing the deal with the hands- on support of Aethon Partners. A business that is “market-ready” is capable of successfully completing a (minority) sale process, capital raises, acquisitions, divestments, strategic partnering, capital restructuring and other types of strategic events, in parallel or in sequence.
Finding the 'Right' Partner
Our process is dedicated to finding the best new capital partner and transaction structure to help you scale the business, not just any investor.
Efficient and Bespoke Process
We execute swift and efficient fundraising campaigns. Our experience shows that an equity round can be completed within 4-6 months and a debt round within 2-4 months.
Hands-On Guidance
We provide hands-on management support and guidance 24/7 throughout the entire process.
