Investor & Fundraising Advisor

Investor and fundraising advisor is the most wildly priced category in the directory — fees range from $2,500 for a one-off deck polish to 7% of a $10M Series A paid to a boutique investment bank, a 300x spread. The spectrum runs from solo deck consultants (Foodservice Consultants Society International members) to F&B-focused investment banks (Cypress Group, Roark, North Point) for actual placement. Sort vendors by product type and engagement model — advisory retainer, success fee, or equity participation — before agreeing to scope.
