Services
Four core capabilities, the work StratQuent is built around, plus four extended capabilities we bring in as a mandate calls for them. Each one starts with a direct conversation with the executive who owns the decision.
Core
What StratQuent is built around. Every mandate that starts here gets the firm's full weight.
We build and run investor relations programs directly: earnings strategy, disclosure governance, CFO scripting, and investor presentations. The work determines how the market reads a company's numbers and decisions, not just how it's announced.
- Fractional IR, running the investor relations function part-time in place of a full-time hire
- Earnings strategy, CFO scripting, and investor presentations
- Disclosure governance and reporting discipline
- Analyst and institutional investor engagement
We help companies raise capital, private or public, and structure the deal terms that actually get a round done. That includes building the investor targeting list, preparing outreach materials, and advising on structure and pricing.
- Capital raise strategy, from early-stage rounds to more complex raises
- Investor targeting lists and outreach materials
- Deal terms, structure, and pricing guidance
For companies choosing to grow by acquisition, or preparing for a raise that involves a transaction, we source and structure the deal, run diligence, and handle the financial modeling, valuation, and documentation that gets it to signature.
- Deal sourcing, target identification, and transaction structuring
- Financial modeling, valuation, and deal documentation
- Integration planning, built before close, not after
When something is already wrong, a capital structure under stress or a reputational crisis breaking in public, we help assess the situation honestly and manage the response, from lenders and investors to press and public stakeholders, until it's resolved.
- Distressed capital structure assessment and restructuring strategy
- Rapid-response crisis planning and stakeholder management
- Special situations advisory through resolution
Extended
Real capabilities, brought in as a mandate needs them, not sold as a separate practice.
Strategic and operating model work for companies, investors, and institutions: growth strategy, market entry, portfolio strategy, and the operating model that has to carry the strategy once it's decided.
- Corporate and growth strategy, market entry, and portfolio strategy
- Operating model design and cross-functional alignment
- Institutional and public sector strategic advisory
The people and structure side of a transition: interim executives when there's a leadership gap, and the governance and operating structure that determines whether new capital or a new leadership team actually gets used well.
- Interim CFO, COO, and Head of Corporate Development placement
- Governance structure, board setup, and organizational design
- Operating model design after a raise or transaction closes
For founders and owners thinking about what comes after them, retirement, a partner buyout, or handing the business to the next generation, we plan the transition as a life-stage decision, not a rushed transaction.
- Succession and generational transition planning
- Partner and founder buyout structuring
- Exit readiness and sale preparation
Building and protecting how a company is understood publicly: executive visibility, media relationships, and engagement with regulators and policymakers on issues that affect the business.
- Executive positioning and brand narrative
- Press and analyst relationship management
- Regulatory and public affairs positioning
