estateXchange — capital raise, end to end
We acted for estateXchange on its capital raises, including rounds backed by Macquarie Capital and OIF Ventures — running the process end to end, answering questions quickly, turning materials around at pace, and being available whenever the deal needed us, often well outside standard hours.
Josh and Jeremy were instrumental in supporting estateXchange through our capital raise. From the outset, their responsiveness was exceptional — questions were answered quickly, materials were turned around at pace, and they were available whenever we needed them, often well outside standard hours. Beyond responsiveness, what set them apart was the depth of their knowledge and the balance of their advice. They brought a clear view of the market, and the judgement to tell us what we needed to hear rather than simply what was easy to say. Their counsel was always considered, commercially grounded, and tailored to where we were in our journey. The combination of expertise and a genuine commitment to our success made a meaningful difference.
