Capital

Navigator

Strategic Introductions for Venture Funding

Securing capital is like navigating the open sea—success depends on knowing the currents, anticipating the tides, and charting the right course.

About The Process

At Pickworth GTM, we act as your trusted guide, seamlessly connecting startups with investors who provide not just funding, but strategic depth and industry insight.

We saw a critical gap: founders struggling to unlock their next tranche of funding—whether due to investor mandates, a lack of market traction, or simply the time-consuming nature of fundraising itself. The pattern was clear—companies that had the right capital strategy and a strong GTM motion weren’t just securing funding, they were accelerating growth. That realization led to the creation of the Capital Navigator at Pickworth GTM.

There’s a direct parallel between raising capital and deploying it into an effective GTM strategy. Likewise, a strong GTM motion makes investors confident in a founder’s ability to scale. We are everywhere at once, casting a wide net across an expansive investor network, ensuring the right capital finds the right founders at the right time. We don’t just introduce you to capital—we ensure you’re ready to maximize it.

Whether you're setting sail for your first round or exploring deeper waters, Pickworth GTM ensures you reach your destination—capital in hand, momentum on your side.
