thirty minutes · free · with Sanjay Wadhwani
With the person who set up the UK's first SEIS fund in 2012. It is a diagnosis, not a pitch. If nothing is wrong, I will say so and give you the thirty minutes back.
Book thirty minutesNo card. No follow-up sequence.
Bring anything
You do not need a company, a deck, or a plan. Founders book this at every stage, and the most useful conversations are usually the earliest ones.
“I have an idea and no idea whether it qualifies.”
“I am about to incorporate and do not want to get it wrong.”
“An investor asked me something I could not answer.”
“HMRC turned us down and I do not know why.”
What happens
Ten minutes on the company, the trade, and what you are trying to raise. No preparation needed.
Eligibility, structure, timing, the order things need to happen in. Most of what goes wrong is visible in ten minutes to someone who has seen it before.
Sometimes that is you, sometimes Seisly, sometimes a specialist who is not me. I will tell you which.
Where it goes afterwards
Being plain about this, because a free call with no stated purpose is usually a pitch. There are three honest endings.
You go away and get on with it. This happens often and it costs you nothing.
Seisly drafts and files your advance assurance for £399. Most founders are here.
You book a paid hour with me for £150, or I point you at an adviser set up for that kind of work.
