Stage journey
- First-time founders
- $7M raise
The challenge
Jack and his co-founder had just started Nettle. As first-time founders there were a lot of unknowns, and finance admin was being held together by calendar reminders while they juggled a million other priorities.
What we did
- 01We joined as an embedded part of the team, working across Slack, phone and email from day one.
- 02We took ownership of investor (VC) reporting, Companies House filings and payroll.
- 03We supported end-to-end EIS compliance, from advance assurance through to issuing EIS certificates to their investors.
- 04We set up clear processes where the founders had no existing view.
- 05We took on manual tasks while automating as much as possible.
The results
$7M
raised from top investors
0
missed payrolls
1
Slack channel to reach their whole finance team
- Supported through a $7M funding round
- End-to-end EIS compliance, from advance assurance to certificate issuance to investors
- VC reporting, Companies House filings and payroll fully owned by Complete HQ
- Founders freed to focus on building the business
Nettle raised $7M from top investors and payroll has never been missed. Most importantly, the founders got their headspace back.
“It frees up my mental capacity to focus on the business, not the filing.”
“We went from a million calendar reminders to having a new part of the team that owns it all.”
