Project Mission

Athena Consulting facilitated a 7-month investor matchmaking process, identifying and connecting a San Francisco-based AI startup with a consortium of Southeast Asian investors. The mission was to secure $15M in funding, ensuring the startup could scale its operations while providing investors with a stake in cutting-edge technology.

The Challenge

The primary challenge was aligning the startup’s ambitious growth plans with the risk-averse nature of the Southeast Asian investors. Athena Consulting had to bridge cultural gaps in business practices and build trust through extensive due diligence, ensuring both parties felt confident in the partnership.
