Founder Advisory

Cap tables, founder pay and exit planning — modelled before the decision, not explained after it.

What it covers

Cap-table modelling

Dilution across rounds, option-pool sizing, and what each scenario actually leaves the founders holding.

Salary versus dividends

Modelled against the current social-security position, not last year’s. We show the arithmetic and let you choose.

ESOP basics

What a Greek-domiciled option scheme can and cannot do, what it costs to run, and when it is worth the administration.

Investor diligence

We prepare the financial pack and answer the diligence questions directly. Investors ask who your accountant is — that answer should help you.

Exit planning

Started early enough to matter. The structural decisions that determine the tax on an exit are usually made three years before it.

Founder relocation

Where you become tax-resident, when it takes effect, and what it means for shares you already hold.

What you get

Founders raising or preparing to raise, teams putting an option scheme in place, and anyone whose personal and company positions have stopped being separable.

Fees

From €1,200 per engagement for a scenario model; retained advisory quoted annually.

Line led by Andreas Roussopoulos. Every engagement names the partner who does the work and the partner who reviews it.

Common questions

We are raising in three months. Is that enough time?

For the diligence pack, yes. For the structural decisions that change the outcome, it is late but not too late — and we will tell you which is which.

Can you talk to our investors directly?

Yes. It is usually faster and the answers are more accurate than when they travel through three people.

Do you take equity instead of fees?

No. We stay the people who tell you what the numbers actually say.

You describe what is on your desk. We say whether we are the right firm. No fee, and no follow-up if the answer is no.
