BLACKWOOD SYNDICATE
The Process

Built on rigor, not volume.

We are selective on both sides — every founder gets a fair assessment, every investor gets curated deal flow. No noise. No bulk emails. No wasted time. Here is exactly how it works.

Raise Track

The Founder Journey

Stage 1~5 business days

Application & Review

Submit your application. Our team reviews your traction, team, market, and thesis. If accepted, you receive a confirmation and next steps. If not, we tell you why — clearly and constructively.

Stage 2~3–5 days

Profile Build

We work with you to understand your story at depth. We help you articulate what makes your company defensible, why now, and what you need from an investor beyond just capital.

Stage 3Ongoing

Active Matching

Your profile enters our investor matching layer. When a genuine fit is identified, we brief the investor first — then make the introduction. You don't pitch cold. You walk in warm.

Stage 4Process

Introduction & Process

Both parties connect with full context. We stay available throughout the process — to answer investor questions, provide supporting materials, and help you reach a term sheet.

Exit Track

The Secondary Journey

Stage 1No obligation

Confidential Inquiry

Submit an exit inquiry. Everything at this stage is under NDA. We assess your financials, growth profile, and technical assets to determine fit for sell-side representation.

Stage 22–4 weeks

Financial & Technical Review

If we move forward, we conduct a structured review of your financials and technology. We identify add-backs, normalize your EBITDA, and assess your IP. We find what adds value before buyers do.

Stage 31–2 weeks

Narrative & Blind Teaser

We build your anonymized market profile. Your company enters the buyer network without revealing your identity. Acquirer interest is validated before your name is ever disclosed.

Stage 44–12 weeks

Controlled Buyer Process

We manage a targeted, competitive process. Multiple qualified buyers. A structured timeline. Leverage maintained throughout. We negotiate on your behalf and manage the process to close.
