From Thesis to Exit

Supporting exceptional experts

At TIP, our team combines deep investment expertise, builder, AI & analytics background, and strategic and operational excellence.

All investment vehicles are based on partnering up with external deep expertise and through thought leadership. We also benefit from extensive Katapult back office support.

How We Support

From idea to exit -- eight steps where TIP helps you win.

  1. Step 11--3 months

    Exploration and Validation

    From idea to fundable strategy.

    We have seen hundreds of fund strategies and know what a fundable deck looks like. Step one is to support you in putting it together, proving it towards LPs, and giving you market and deal insights with our Northstar tooling.

    Exploration and validation
  2. Step 21--2 months

    Investment Thesis and Strategy

    You are the key person, and you need to start iterating on your bulletproof thesis.

    Crafting a strong, data-backed thesis, with attractive deal examples and terms. LPs and founders alike look for a clear mission, solid expertise, great deals, and aligned terms.

    You'll receive structured feedback from our data experts, investment professionals, and get LP insights and connections from our Northstar tooling.

  3. Step 36--12 months

    Fundraising and Deal Sourcing

    Build trust, source deals, close commitments.

    LPs like to see deal examples, and we treat fundraising and deal sourcing as parallel processes.

    We support your approach to HNWI, family offices, and institutional allocators with proven interest in your thesis.

    In parallel, we support you with deal-flow and deal analysis to make the initial hypothetical portfolio become reality.

  4. Step 4~2 weeks

    First Fund Close

    Legal entity setup, term sheet negotiations, capital calls, and fund administration made fast and simple.

    We have done it before, have the templates ready, and support on the heavy lifting -- from legal incorporation and contract finalisation to back-office setup and operational compliance.

  5. Step 56--12 months

    Capital Allocation & Deal Execution

    Operate lean, and deploy fast.

    With fund setup and capital in place, you begin executing pre-vetted deals, leveraging your domain expertise to attract highly scalable opportunities.

    We continuously power your dealflow with AI-assisted scouting and screening tools, making sure impact assessment is aligned, and support you from investment memo drafting to investment committee decision.

  6. Step 6~8 weeks

    Portfolio Support and Coaching

    Support that drives impact.

    Once deployed, your early investments need tailored support to hit growth milestones, reduce risk, and secure follow-on funding.

    We provide portfolio companies with structured training programs, investor-readiness workshops, and access to our broader ecosystem, accelerating their path to scale and improving the odds of success for both founders and LPs.

  7. Step 71--7 years

    Portfolio Management and Investor Relations

    Stay updated, automate reporting.

    Managing an active portfolio requires visibility, discipline, and support.

    We support you in setting up a live dashboard on metrics, impact performance, valuations, follow-on rounds, and identifying intervention rounds. Founders love reports they can use, and LPs love to stay updated.

  8. Step 81--7 years

    Exit & Impact Realization

    Monitor exit opportunities early, realise when timing is right.

    As the general pace of M&As, buyouts, and exits speeds up, we aim for shorter fund lifespans and quicker returns.

    We support you with our exit playbook and in always looking for exits. LPs love high IRR, and come back with high impact and DVPI.
