Our Services and Our Differentiation
What we do
At EDS, we guide founders and CFOs through the full debt-raising process — from strategy and materials to lender outreach and negotiations. Unlike a lender or broker, we act as your capital partner and advisor. We work hands-on to:
- Prepare market-ready materials that lenders actually want to see
- Run a competitive lender process with institutional and venture debt funds
- Analyze structures for long-term impact on runway, dilution, and cap table
- Support you from first pitch through term sheet and legal closing
How we're different
What makes EDS different is how hands-on and founder-aligned we are. A few key distinctions:
- We’re former investors – We’ve been on the other side of the table, so we know how to position companies for a "yes."
- Not just intros – execution support – We don't just make lender introductions. We manage the full process and protect your leverage.
- Structure matters – Most founders don’t model the long-term implications of debt terms like warrants, traunching, or cash covenants. We do.
- Founder-first mentality – We work as your advocate, not as a fee-driven middleman. We’re paid only when you successfully close a deal.
