Case Study

Seed Fundraise: $3.5M for a PropTech Platform

Client Profile

A proptech startup digitising commercial real estate transactions in India and the UAE.

The Challenge

Strong founding team and early traction but a poorly structured cap table from a previous angel round, no financial model, and a pitch deck that failed to communicate the market opportunity clearly.

Our Approach

Nirji cleaned up the cap table using a SAFE-to-equity conversion framework, built a bottom-up financial model with 3 scenarios, redesigned the pitch deck, and ran a structured fundraise targeting proptech-focused VCs.

Solution Delivered

Raised $3.5M seed round led by a Dubai-based proptech VC with participation from 2 angel syndicates. Negotiated founder-friendly terms including a 20% option pool refresh.
