For Companies
Does your company have the vision?
We'll help you build the path.
Equifaira partners with founder-led companies to raise capital through private markets in Canada, the US, and internationally — embedding operational expertise and planning a liquidity event that's fair for everyone.
The Challenge
Every great founder hits the same wall.
You started with a great idea. You may have attracted early investors and built a real product. But now you're at a stage where you need additional capital and skilled resources to take your business to the next level — and the traditional options aren't built for founders like you.
Venture capital and private equity can sideline the very founders who built the company. The people who took the largest risks often end up with the smallest share of the value created.
Equifaira was built to change that.
Our Process
How We Work Together
Our engagement spans three clearly defined phases — each designed to build on the last and move you closer to a successful liquidity event.
Phase I — Assessment
We conduct a thorough due diligence review of your business, develop an equity model, and prepare a strategic plan and recommendations report. This phase typically spans several weeks to months.
Phase II — Engagement
Upon a successful assessment, we engage with your leadership team on strategy planning and execution, organizational structure, and capital formation — building the foundation for growth.
Phase III — Implementation
Spanning multiple years, Equifaira embeds at the C-level and VP-level to help develop and execute your strategic plan, guiding your company toward a well-planned liquidity event.
