For startups
You’re world-class on your technology. We make you world-class on fundraising.
Önd is The Chief Fundraising Officer for mission-driven start-ups. From Seed, we design your raise against commercial milestones, build the right mix of capital: equity alongside grants, strategic partnerships, and patient and blended capital, then build and launch the fundraising systems that scale with you.
Who it’s for
From Seed onwards, mission-driven, B2B / B2G.
Founding teams building businesses that improve the world at scale, with developed technology ready for commercialisation and demonstrable commercial validation — raising £250K+ for traction, pilots, revenue, partnerships or scale.

What do we mean by PlanetTech and PeopleTech?
PlanetTech and PeopleTech follow our vision — technology for thriving ecosystems and thriving people. The sectors below are examples: with the right stage, the right mission and a model your technology supports, we can help you raise.
For investors
Already backing a portfolio? Funds, advisory firms, accelerators and angel syndicates can bring Önd in as Chief Fundraising Officer for the start-ups they support — and the work is still for the founding teams.
The bridge
From proven technology → to a scalable business.
Most founding teams are brilliant on the science and their sector, but newer to the commercial and capital landscape. That gap is why Önd exists. We are the bridge.
01 · Before
Proven technology
The technology is developed and working. The science is not the question.
02 · The gap — where Önd works
Seed, and the commercial case
The stage capital finds hardest to read. We build the commercial case, then match it to the capital that fits.
03 · After
A scalable business
Commercial traction that later-stage capital can recognise and back.
How it works
Your Chief Fundraising Officer, from Seed.
Who you’ll work with
Önd takes the seat of Chief Fundraising Officer and manages the raise, with a specialist advisor working with your founding team week to week. The founder makes the approaches; Önd runs the process and the pipeline.
