What Firstcall India Equity Advisors can do for you?

Firstcall India enables you to decide whether one should go for venture capital or not

Our rich investment banking/research background and vast contacts in the industry enable us to excel in understanding a client, and help him to decide whether venture capital is the most appropriate option.

Firstcall India helps you decide whom to go to

Keeping in view the stage of development of the company, the amount sought, criticality of processing time, qualitative inputs (brand equity, knowledge-base, locational advantage, technological savviness) provided by the venture capitalist, etc. As we are not tied to any single venture capitalist and have rich hands-on experience of various VCs, we are totally unbiased & objective.

Firstcall India helps you prepare Information Memorandum

We help you to compile a crisp information memorandum, keeping in view the targeted venture capitalists, providing them with adequate information to 'excite' them about the business & the management, without diluting business secrets.

Firstcall India helps you to prepare a Business Plan & Financial Modeling

A good business plan made by a hardcore experienced professional, keeping in view the targeted venture capitalist reduces the VC-deal time by almost half. A good business plan is 80% qualitative (core strengths, USPs, niche leadership defense strategy, de-risking strategy et al) and only 20% quantitative. Unfortunately, most of "accountants" end-up doing just the reverse; with the mindset of yester-years bank loans application format, they create a fantastic financial report running into tens of pages which is practically useless for a venture capitalist. We use our hands-on experience to actually add value to the Business Plan, so that the optimum value is realized. We highlight the credentials, create Valuation Models, bring-in comparable live examples, draw in competitors data and put them all in a non-intruding right perspective. Our proprietory financial modeling & valuation modelling techniques are widely appreciated in the industry.

Firstcall India helps you get optimum valuation

Value is the price an investor commits for a transaction to take place, at a point of time. Value is in the eye of the beholder. Corporate Valuation is our key strength. We excel in adding value to valuation through peer-group information, mind-space data, live examples, creating valuation models and proving their efficacy with comparable companies / deals.

Firstcall India enables efficient & meaningful negotiations

We couple our vast knowledge on venture capital deals worldwide with actual experience of successful conclusion of VC deals, business valuation assignments, brand valuations, numerous investment research reports etc., to make the negotiations efficient and more effective. We act as a very effective medium to make the entrepreneur and the VC respect each others' differences in opinions / points of concern thus, an effective buffer against stalemate in negotiations. Thus reduce the deal closure time.

Firstcall India enables fair SSA

We ensure that the Shareholders & Share Subscription Agreement is exhaustive and fair to both the parties thereto. We prepare the entrepreneur by highlighting the pitfalls ahead while effectively addressing the concerns of the VC, in a mutually acceptable manner.

Firstcall India enables substantially higher valuation in subsequent rounds of funding

Once we have successfully concluded one round of venture funding, we keep in constant touch with the Company to suggest them the most appropriate source and the most appropriate time for subsequent rounds of funding. We believe that the most important aspect that distinguishes a good VC Advisor from a bad VC Advisor is the ability of the VC Advisor to fetch multiple times of the valuation achieved in the first round.
