What BFS is not?
We are not an investment banker. And we don’t need to be. VCs don’t appreciate early stage founders who can’t raise themselves!
We don’t provide quick shortcuts or easy fixes. Fundraising is a gruelling process that demands founder’s serious time, attention and efforts.
We are focused around fundraising, we don’t provide support on marketing, legal services, product development etc.
We are ‘unsugarcoated’ with our words and approach. We would tell you everything including things that you may not like today, but are in your best interest.
