Who We Partner With

We specialize in guiding innovative startups across high-growth technology sectors.

What Founders Say About Us

We're proud to have partnered with some of the most innovative startups in Europe.

Working with Apex was a game-changer for our Series A. Their team didn't just refine our pitch; they fundamentally challenged and improved our strategy. Their network is second to none, and the introductions they made were not just numerous, but incredibly high-quality. We went into meetings confident and prepared, which resulted in a term sheet that exceeded our expectations. They were true partners in every sense of the word, providing invaluable guidance through the entire due diligence and closing process. We couldn't have done it without them.

Elena Schmidt CEO of InnovateHealth, Berlin

Before Apex, we struggled to articulate our vision in a way that resonated with investors. Their team helped us craft a compelling narrative that captured the essence of our company and its potential. The coaching sessions were intense but transformative. They taught us how to anticipate tough questions and answer them with data-driven confidence. The difference was night and day. We went from getting polite passes to securing follow-up meetings with top-tier VCs. Their strategic input on our go-to-market plan was also instrumental.

Liam Chen Founder of QuantumLeap AI, Munich

The fundraising landscape is incredibly opaque. Apex provided the clarity and direction we desperately needed. Their process is structured, efficient, and tailored to the unique needs of a deep tech startup like ours. What impressed me most was their hands-on approach. They felt like an extension of our founding team, always available for a quick call or a deep-dive session. The value they provided went far beyond introductions; it was about being strategically prepared for every step of the journey, from the first pitch to the final signature.

Frequently Asked Questions

Have questions? Find answers here.

We primarily work with pre-seed, seed, and Series A stage startups. Our expertise is most impactful for companies that have achieved some initial traction or have a strong MVP and are preparing for their first significant institutional funding round. We are sector-agnostic but have deep expertise in SaaS, FinTech, HealthTech, and Deep Tech. If you're unsure if you're a fit, we encourage you to reach out for an initial conversation.

Our compensation model is designed to align our success with yours. We typically work on a hybrid model consisting of a modest monthly retainer and a success fee, which is a small percentage of the capital raised. This ensures we are fully committed to your journey while covering the intensive, hands-on work required. We are transparent about our fees from the outset and tailor agreements to each startup's specific situation and funding goals.

Apex Venture Advisors is a pure advisory firm. We do not invest directly from a dedicated fund. This is a deliberate choice that ensures our advice is always 100% objective and conflict-free. Our sole focus is on finding the very best investors and deal terms for you, rather than promoting our own fund. This unbiased approach is a core part of our value proposition and is highly valued by the founders we partner with.

The fundraising timeline can vary significantly depending on market conditions, your startup's stage, and its readiness. On average, you should plan for a 6 to 9-month process from our initial engagement to capital in the bank. This includes 1-2 months of intensive preparation (pitch deck, financial model, strategy), 3-4 months of active investor outreach and meetings, and 1-2 months for due diligence and legal closing. We help manage this process to keep it as efficient as possible.
