Our Purpose is Simple:
To make fundraising and M&A accessible to growing startups
At Stratelion, we believe that every ambitious startup deserves expert fundraising and M&A support, without the complexity or the cost of traditional advisory firms.
We simplify complex processes and cut through the noise to give founders clear, actionable guidance. From raising capital to closing deals, we move fast and stay hands-on, so you can focus on building your vision with confidence.
Our mission is to make top-tier financial strategy and execution accessible, practical, and effective, because growing startups deserve nothing less.

Our impact
«I still don’t know how you spotted some of the bottlenecks that were slowing us down, but the changes you suggested have made a big difference. The team’s happier, projects are moving faster, and I feel in control of our progress.»
«Hey, I’ve got to tell you, the financial clarity you gave us has been a big step for us. The way you broke everything down helped us prioritize what matters, and the results have been huge. Even our board noticed, it’s a big deal for us because they’re not easily impressed. Big thanks!»
«I actually feel confident about our finances now, which is a first! You helped us figure out where we were wasting money and how to use our resources better. It’s already making a difference in our runway, and honestly, the stress I used to feel about this stuff is gone.»
«Expanding into a new market felt overwhelming until we brought Stratelion on board. Raquel kept every part of the project moving, we’re now operational in a completely new market, and it feels like we’ve been set up for success from day one.»
«Raquel handled every piece of the expansion, and now we’re live in the new market. I couldn’t ask for a smoother process, it would’ve taken us months just to figure out a plan.»
«I could finally focus on talking to customers while Stratelion handled all the investor prep. They gave us a clear plan, and started getting real interest from top investors. Super grateful.»
«Still can’t believe it came together so well! Before our pitch felt flat, and investors weren’t responding. Now we’ve got two major backers onboard, I’m in shock from how much of a difference this has made already.. You made the process so much easier.»
