An advisory firm, not an introduction service
Wealthymind Research Private Limited is a Fundraising and Capital Advisory firm in Ahmedabad. We work with promoters and management teams on raising equity and debt, and on the diligence that surrounds those transactions.
Why we exist
Introductions are not advice
A good business can fail to raise for reasons that have nothing to do with the business: a model nobody can follow, a structure that transfers control quietly, diligence that stalls because nobody prepared for it. Those are avoidable, and avoiding them is most of the job.
Plenty of intermediaries will forward a deck to a list. That is not what we do. We spend the early weeks making the business legible — the model, the story, the data room — because a raise is won or lost on that groundwork long before a term sheet appears.
How we work
We take a small number of mandates at a time. A transaction needs sustained senior attention over months, and a firm running thirty processes cannot give it. If our capacity is full, we say so rather than take the mandate and under-serve it.
We are also direct about fit. If your requirement is better served by a bank, by a specialist in your sector, or by waiting two quarters until the numbers support the story, we will say that in the first conversation. It costs us a fee and saves you a failed process.
What we are not
We advise. We do not manage money, deal in securities, hold client funds or securities, or act as a registered market intermediary. Where a transaction requires a regulated role — managing a public issue, underwriting, acting as registrar — that work is performed by the appropriately registered firms appointed to your transaction, alongside us.
We also make no promise of outcome. Whether capital is raised, at what price and on what terms depends on your business and on the market, and no adviser controls either.
Confidentiality first
Nothing identifying your business reaches a prospective investor without your approval and, in almost every case, a signed NDA. First approaches are made on an anonymised basis.
Fees are agreed up front
Scope, retainer and success fee are set out in an engagement letter before work begins. There are no charges you have not already seen in writing.
Principles
Five rules we work to
These are the standing instructions for how a mandate is run, and the basis on which you should hold us to account.
-
Preparation before outreach
No investor is approached until the model, the memorandum and the data room can withstand questioning. A premature approach burns the name.
-
The weak point is found internally
We challenge the numbers and the story before an investor does, and we put the counter-argument in the material rather than hope nobody raises it.
-
Structure is modelled, not accepted
Preference, anti-dilution, ratchets and covenants are modelled through to their consequences before they are agreed, not explained afterwards.
-
Bad news travels immediately
If a process is stalling or a finding changes the picture, you hear it that week. Nothing is saved for a monthly update.
-
No claims about outcomes
We publish no success rates, no amounts raised and no client names. None of them predict your transaction, and all of them invite you to skip the questions that matter.
Questions
Common questions about the firm
Can you guarantee we will raise the money?
No, and you should be wary of anyone who says otherwise. Whether a raise completes depends on your performance and on market conditions. What we control is the quality of the preparation, the relevance of the investors approached and the discipline of the process.
How are you paid?
Typically a retainer covering the preparation phase and a success fee on completion, with the split and the triggers set out in the engagement letter before any work starts. Diligence engagements are usually fixed-fee against an agreed scope.
Will you work with early-stage companies?
Yes, where there is enough commercial traction for an institutional investor to underwrite. Below that point the honest answer is usually that a formal process is premature, and we will say so.
Do you take equity instead of fees?
Not as standard. Where a partial fee-for-equity arrangement is discussed it is documented explicitly, because it changes our interest in the transaction and you are entitled to see that clearly.
Who actually does the work?
The team that meets you. We do not pitch with senior people and then hand the mandate to someone you have not met.
Will our information stay confidential?
Yes. Approaches are anonymised until an NDA is signed, the data room is permissioned per party, and access is withdrawn when a party drops out. See our privacy policy.
Tell us what you are trying to fund
One conversation is usually enough to establish whether there is a transaction here and whether we are the right firm for it.
