What our clients say
Fund managers and founders we have worked with across Europe and Asia.
We worked closely with Joep and his team to tap institutional and family office investors in Europe for our Fund I. The team was disciplined, diligent and process driven. They introduced us to many investors keen to explore India, and we successfully received commitments for the fund.
Rajeev Kalambi
Founding Partner, Cactus Venture Partners
Joep has supported me in placing my financial products and attracted the first investors. He has an excellent network of institutional clients, family offices and HNWIs, a hands-on mentality and deep knowledge of the financial markets. I can recommend him to anyone starting out as a fund manager and looking for a distribution partner.
Jan Thondl
Managing Partner, Thondl Investments
Joep and his team are a pleasure to work with. They are entrepreneurial, hungry and move fast. They understand both fund managers and LPs, excel at meticulous preparation and give access to a broad network of relevant investors. We are particularly pleased that they have personally invested in the fund, and we will certainly work with them again.
Felix Exner
Managing Director, Conny & Co and Mountain Partners

Frequently asked questions
Not finding what you are looking for? We are happy to talk it through.
Get in contactWhy should I work with an advisor on my capital raise?
A professional capital solutions advisory firm, or placement agent, knows which investors fit your strategy and where to find them. Through an advisor you get access to a large network. We bring in a wealth of experience, advise on your strategy, USPs and product, and open up a large global network. We also speed up the fundraising process and make it more efficient.
What makes you different? Why should we choose Eastbound?
We take skin in the game, as we believe in the strategy of our clients. Our team combines former GP experience, active LPs, CFO experience, angel investors, M&A advisors, fund structuring and impact financing. We have been on all sides of the table and are therefore well positioned to help with your capital needs.
What do you do better?
We run a transparent and hands-on campaign, bringing in our broad network of other agents, M&A lawyers, sector specialists, investors, advisors, co-distributors and friends to help identify the right investors and decision makers. We work at executive level to reach the right stakeholders. The whole team is incentivised to close deals.
What are your key values?
Trust, transparency and an intelligent process. It is a joint effort between our client and us, with the shared goal of successfully closing the fundraise. The client is king, and we focus on delivering results through a creative and intelligent process.
What industries do you focus on?
We are sector agnostic, but we like tech: deeptech, climate tech, healthcare, agri and foodtech, B2B SaaS and software. We can raise for most asset classes.
How long does a fundraising campaign take?
Depending on the mandate, the type of investors for the strategy, the current fundraise status, identified anchor investors, travel plans and the season, we make a deliberate estimate of how long it takes to target the investors and facilitate the due diligence process towards a closing. We are with you until the closing of the fund or deal.
What does the process look like?
In the first month we prepare the campaign: pre-marketing (pitch deck, teaser, fact sheet), dataroom set-up, investor lists and the fundraising strategy. In the second month we start with introductions, roadshow planning and the first meetings. In months three to six we follow up, organise follow-on meetings and feedback sessions, assist with due diligence and Q&A, arrange reference calls, support negotiations and work towards the placement.
Who will manage our campaign?
You deal with our senior team, assisted by mid-level managers and juniors. Our most experienced consultants work actively on the campaign, backed by managers and analysts who guide the full project.
Do I need a budget for travel and private equity events?
Depending on the mandate and status, we often recommend travelling to potential investors or taking part in fundraising events to create visibility. We advise case by case on roadshows and the events that will give the best results.
How did you build this network of investors?
Through years of professional guidance, a clear process, in-depth knowledge of the financial markets and results for our clients. Our testimonials give a good picture of how we work.
