SIC Pricing Model
We engage with early and late stage companies by taking a combination of equity, success fee (on GTM or Partnership deals) and in all cases a modest monthly retainer. In the case of large fundraising engagements, we partner with select Broker-Dealers in our network.
We engage with Venture Funds by taking a percentage of the carry.
