🚀 Investment banking, built for startups

Your next round, your exit,
your big move — handled.

We're a partner-led team that helps founders raise capital, navigate acquisitions and make the strategic calls that shape their company — without the big-bank formality.

Who we are

Senior bankers who work like part of your team.

Ethios Capital was founded by partners who've spent decades across investment banking, private equity and building companies. We know what it's like on your side of the table — because we've sat there.

Every mandate is led personally by a partner, start to finish. We keep our client list short on purpose, so you get real senior attention — not a junior team and a monthly status call.

What we do

Three things. Done really well.

From your first institutional round to the day you sign an exit, we bring the network, the process and the push to get it done.

💸

Capital Raising

We help you raise from the right investors — VCs, growth funds, family offices and strategics — and get you the terms you deserve.

  • Seed to late-stage equity rounds
  • Venture debt & structured financing
  • Investor targeting & warm intros
  • Term sheet negotiation & closing
🤝

Mergers & Acquisitions

Selling your company or buying one? We run tight, competitive processes that protect your time and maximise your outcome.

  • Sell-side advisory & exits
  • Buy-side search & execution
  • Mergers & joint ventures
  • Due diligence & deal structuring
🧭

Strategic Advisory

A sounding board for the decisions that keep you up at night — from valuation to board dynamics to "should we sell?"

  • Valuation & fairness opinions
  • Board & shareholder advisory
  • Capital structure & restructuring
  • Exit readiness & strategic options

How we work

No mystery. Just a process that works.

1

Understand

We dig into your business, market and goals before recommending anything. No copy-paste playbooks.

2

Position

We sharpen your story, materials and numbers so the right people lean in fast.

3

Execute

We run the process end to end — outreach, diligence, negotiation — while you keep running the company.

4

Close

We push every workstream through signing and closing. And we stick around after.

💡 Why "Ethios"? It comes from ethos — character and credibility, the trust you earn through how you act. That's the bar we hold ourselves to on every deal.
