For us there’s no greater thrill than watching founders succeed. We are hooked on crafting stories that enable founders to raise money for their ventures.

Your tactical edge in fundraising

In ancient Rome, an optio was the centurion’s trusted advisor—focused on strategy, execution, and problem-solving.

We’re the modern-day optio for founders—helping you refine your story, tackle challenges, and deliver decks that close deals.
