Zero to one
with a finance partner who thinks like a founder
Stage journey
- Pre-launch science startup
- Funding round
The challenge
Mass Balance was starting from nothing. With no accountant in place, the founders vetted a few options before choosing Complete HQ on the strong recommendation of a friend. They needed someone who could move at founder pace and help them go from zero to one.
What we did
- 01We worked alongside the founders as part of the team.
- 02We helped them shape the strategy for their funding round and pulled together a clear financial model to take to investors.
- 03We also handled their SEIS initial applications and took the day-to-day accounting off their plate.
The results
Funding round strategy and financial model
SEIS initial applications handled
Founders focused on science, product and growth
- Funding round strategy and a clear financial model built with the founders
- SEIS initial applications handled, saving the team many hours
- Accounting peace of mind, so the founders can focus on the science
The team saved many hours on SEIS applications and admin, but the bigger win was peace of mind. With the finances in hand, the founders can put their energy into their science, product and growth.
