Building Tomorrow's Success Stories

We've been helping Australian startups secure the funding they need since 2019. Not through flashy promises, but with practical strategies that actually work in today's market.

How We Started

Back in 2018, I was watching brilliant startup founders struggle with fundraising. They had incredible ideas but kept hitting walls with investors. The problem wasn't their concepts – it was how they presented them.

After spending years in corporate finance, I realized there was a massive gap. Founders needed someone who understood both sides: the entrepreneurial vision and investor expectations.

So we built novansolaree around one simple principle: match the right funding strategy with each business's unique situation. No cookie-cutter approaches, no unrealistic timelines.

Since 2019, we've worked with over 200 Australian startups across tech, manufacturing, and services. Some raised their first k, others secured Series A rounds above M. Each journey was different, but the foundation remained the same – proper preparation and realistic expectations.

Our Three-Phase Method

We've refined our process over hundreds of funding rounds. Here's how we help startups prepare for sustainable growth capital.

Foundation Analysis

We start by understanding your business model, market position, and realistic funding needs. No assumptions – just thorough analysis of where you stand and where you want to go.

Strategy Development

Based on our analysis, we create a tailored funding roadmap. This includes investor targeting, pitch refinement, and timeline planning that fits your business cycle.

Execution Support

We guide you through implementation, from initial investor outreach to term sheet negotiations. Our focus is on building relationships that extend beyond single funding rounds.

Zephyr Caldwell

Founder & Managing Partner

Zephyr brings 15 years of experience from both sides of the funding equation. Before launching novansolaree, he spent eight years in investment banking at Macquarie, then moved to startup operations as CFO for two successful tech companies.

His approach combines institutional knowledge with startup reality. "I've seen what investors actually look for, and I've felt the pressure founders face when cash flow gets tight," he explains.

Zephyr holds a Master of Finance from UNSW and regularly speaks at startup events across Sydney and Melbourne about practical fundraising strategies.

Transparency First

We tell you exactly what to expect – including the challenges. Fundraising is tough, and sugar-coating reality doesn't help anyone succeed.

Long-term Relationships

Many of our 2020 clients are now raising Series B rounds. We're not just consultants – we're partners in your growth journey.

Our Vision for Australian Startups

Australia has incredible entrepreneurial talent, but access to growth capital remains challenging. We're working to change that by connecting founders with the right investors and preparing them properly for those conversations.

Every successful funding round creates jobs, drives innovation, and strengthens our economy. That's why we're committed to this work.
