Our Story

Investment Ark was originally founded to help improve access to capital through equity crowdfunding. As one of the first equity crowdfunding consulting companies, we were able, in less than two years, to connect over 47 startups and 21,000 private investors.

As our business grew over time, our initial success - and our happy clients - fueled our passion to do more. We assembled a team of highly experienced professionals, including investment bankers, venture capitalists, CFAs, award-winning graphic designers, and copywriters - and established a full-service fundraising and investment advisory company.

Today, we offer a One-Stop-Shop for Businesses and Investors. We help startups and SMBs skyrocket their success by delivering critical fundraising and CFO solutions and putting their growth on autopilot. On the other hand, we provide vital assistance to investors in analyzing and evaluating investment opportunities.

Due Diligence

Due Diligence Process Simplified

Due diligence is detailed and invasive but doesn’t need to be scary. Think of due diligence as a chance to show off all the hard work you’ve done and put into your startup rather than an inquisition. To best protect yourself, ensure you’re auditing your value chain independent of due diligence teams regularly, and even if you’re comfortable with the status of your startup, consider hiring help – you never know what you may be missing.

Investment Analysis

Mergers and Acquisitions

M&A isn’t the shortcut to payout that some think it is and involves arduous work over time, even if the founders intend to leave after the deal closes. Many stumbling blocks, from due diligence to valuation and beyond, can halt the progress of M&A even months into the process. It’s critical to success that you ensure systems and assessments are straightforward and reliable before considering an M&A, and if the prospect arises, you may want to hire help before embarking on the journey alone.

Fundraising

The Process of Raising Venture Capital

Raising venture capital isn’t as simple as showing prospective investors a flashy pitch deck and getting a check. Luckily for inexperienced founders, raising venture capital is well-trodden, with plenty of experienced help available to guide you.
