Raise your European round.
AETHERION Worldwide is the fundraising practice for startups and scale-ups from outside Europe. We make your company ready for European investors, find the money that does not cost you equity, and prepare and run the round with you.
One route, four moves.
Most companies run these as four separate tracks with four separate advisors. That is precisely where money and time are lost: each track compounds the others.
Prepare
The equity story, the numbers, the data room, the cap table. What an investor asks, answered before they ask it.
Fund
Subsidies, tax rulings and grants: the money that does not cost you equity, secured before the round.
Raise
From the first investor conversation to the closed round, run as a process rather than a hope.
Land
Entity, visas, banking, housing. Run with specialist partners so the round stays the work.
How we handle the slow steps.
We plan around the slow steps instead of hiding them. That is what a structured landing is.
How the route works →
The deed of incorporation follows within days of a complete document package, and a founder outside Europe does not have to travel for it: a power of attorney and a certified copy of a passport are enough. From there to a company that actually operates is one to three weeks in practice. The business bank account is not inside that window, and anyone who promises you one has not opened an account for a foreign parent lately.
