Tech-led businesses get funding boost
 
Ambitious technology-led businesses looking to secure Series A and B funding rounds are to get a boost as fundraising expert, Lauren Hartley joins Opus Advisory Group.

With experience spanning early-stage investment through to pre-IPO, Lauren specializes in equity fundraising, venture debt and growth capital.  She will focus on supporting ambitious, technology-led businesses, helping them secure the investment needed to accelerate growth.  Her background covers everything from start-ups raising their first external investment to established businesses seeking capital for significant expansion.

“The fundraising market has changed significantly over the past year, and businesses need advisors who understand those changes and can adapt quickly.  What attracted me to Opus was the opportunity to be part of a growing, ambitious team with the expertise to support businesses well beyond an individual fundraising requirement,” says Lauren Hartley, Director, Opus Strategic Advisors.

“Sometimes a business comes to you thinking it needs investment, when actually there are other challenges or opportunities that need addressing first.  Having that breadth of expertise within Opus means we can have honest conversations, offer the right advice and bring in the right people at the right time.  I’m excited to help build our fundraising offering nationally and for Opus to become a go-to advisor for growing businesses, building long-term relationships and supporting them through every stage of their development.”

“Lauren brings a wealth of experience in fundraising advisory and an excellent understanding of the challenges facing ambitious, high-growth businesses.  Her appointment is another important step in the continued development of our Strategic Advisory division and the breadth of expertise we can offer clients,” adds Tim Dolder, Managing Partner, Opus Advisory Group.

“As an independently owned business, we recognize the value of building lasting relationships and providing practical, commercially focused advice.  Lauren’s approach fits very well with our culture and our commitment to supporting businesses at every stage of their journey, and we’re delighted to welcome her to the team.”
