Navigating the start-up world can be an exhilarating experience, but it can also be a challenging journey. It is fast-paced and constantly evolving, demanding a unique set of skills from founders. Founders understand the necessity of raising funds and the benefits of leveraging the additional skill-set, network and expertise of the investors they raise funds from. They also understand the time commitment, stress and challenges that arise during the fundraising process. Kelly Lyons created her company to help ease that stress and minimize the difficulty in closing funding rounds. 

When it comes to successfully raising funds for a start-up, having a strong narrative and transparent financials that are clearly communicated in a compelling pitch deck can make all the difference. Without them, even the most promising ideas can fall short and fail to raise the funding needed to grow. This is where experts like Kelly come in. 

Kelly founded Lyonshare, combining her expertise in crafting compelling stories and her financial background from years of working in investment banking, to help her clients secure over $2B in funding.
