seedX is a boutique consulting and advisory firm that helps large enterprises in seeding digital innovation, midsized ventures with growth advisory and early stage ventures with capital raise advisory services.
Client Perspectives: Digital Innovation & Growth Advisory
Any growth firm would need 3 important things, right advice, technology & money. We found all the three in Seedx. That apart, the glue which binds the deliverables of advice, tech & money is trust. We are delighted to have them as partners in our progress.
seedX has been advising us in our growth and market expansion. Their vast practitioner experience coupled with the trust, that we have developed with them, are helping us move in the right direction
The partner led approach of seedX provides a lot of comfort and makes it operationally easy. Our teams found it easy working with them given their pragmatic approach & their focus on results. While, our objective for the engagement was to evaluate digital innovation from the start-up ecosystem & learn from it, the engagement also resulted in sharp contextual insights & ideas (both digital & otherwise) relating to process design, business model & structure that have helped us in fundamentally reimagining our business.
Client Perspectives: Capital Raise Advisory
I've evaluated multiple advisors and found seedX to be extremely diligent in understanding the business and provide right advice during the fund-raise as well as post funding stages.
I strongly recommend them for someone raising their seed and series-A funding.
SeedX proactively worked with us through our fundraising process. Beginning with the GoTo Market strategy and subsequently working with us on the fundraising process, SeedX identified and provided insights. We found the hands-on approach to be instrumental in catalyzing our fundraising process.
Additionally, SeedX was very active and helpful through the process post fundraising such as legal processes. The proximity, depth and clarity provided by Rajiv and Arun were very helpful through our journey.
seedX was instrumental in helping us plan for, raise and administer the angel round of funding in Feb 2016. Rajiv's wisdom and experience has helped us with not only fundraising, but product thinking, selling and overall operations.
A good mix of aggression and caution is what a startup needs, and seedX has helped us with that so far in our journey at the required times.
I started working with SeedX when my idea was still on paper. seedX helped me raise seed capital without a live product. They also continued to be invested in our journey post fund raise.
They have been instrumental lately in getting us to Axilor Accelerator program and are working on Pre Series A funding. I use Seedx as my sounding board for investment strategy and bridge to the investment community.
seedx worked with us tirelessly through our early attempts at raising capital. The energy levels and the optimism were always infectious something that all entrepreneurs need when doing the endless rounds of investors.
In addition to running the process, seedX and Rajiv's guidance on navigating specific funds & individuals within funds helped in better messaging our value proposition.
The last mile in the fund-raise process is often the toughest with DD, negotiations etc and seedX played a controlling role in managing the entire process across all the different stakeholders namely the investors, us as promoters, the lawyers and the firms doing the Due Diligence.
seedX brings an entrepreneurial attitude rather than an “investment banking” attitude to the process that helped better align with our expectations, imperatives & challenges.
The team is hands on and does not hesitate to get their hands dirty across all aspects of the process. Unlike conventional advisory firms, seedX had complementary viewpoints on many different areas such as market, positioning, supporting hiring of key personnel, etc. They get to a strong understanding of the business and thus could potentially be partners in the longer term.
