Two ex-investors, now on the founder's side
Why we built Delta
Our mission
Most early-stage founders learn finance the expensive way — mid-raise, with a cap table they can't untangle and a model investors have already poked holes in. We started Delta because we'd been on the other side of that table and knew how much of it was avoidable.
Our job is to put real finance people next to you from day one, so that by the time you walk into a pitch, the numbers are the thing you're most confident about.

Values
Honest assessment
We'll tell you if you're not ready to raise yet. It saves everyone time and usually leads to a better outcome.
Investor network
We've built relationships with Nordic and European VCs over the years. We make introductions when the fit is right.
Pattern recognition
Between us we've read over a thousand decks and sat through hundreds of diligence calls. We can usually tell you what an investor will flag before they do.
Hands-on support
We don't send a PDF and disappear. We're in the room for pitch practice, due diligence, and the hard conversations.

Meet the Founders
You work directly with the two of us. No junior associates, no hand-offs. We spent a combined decade on the other side of the table — banking in London, venture capital in Stockholm — before we decided we'd rather help founders raise than sit across from them passing.
Erik Lindell
Co-Founder
Six years at a Nordic VC fund backing early-stage SaaS and fintech. Reviewed 500+ decks, led due diligence on a dozen investments. Knows the investment memo — because he's written plenty.
Sam Lanely
Co-Founder
Investment banking and corporate finance in London. Built models for pre-revenue startups and listed mid-caps alike. Thinks in spreadsheets.
The way we work
From first call to closed round
Diagnose
You tell us what you're building and where you're stuck. We go through your numbers, your positioning, and your timeline. No templates. Within a couple of weeks you'll know exactly where the gaps are — and whether it's the right time to go out.
Build
We build your model, sharpen your deck, and map the right investors together. Everything gets stress-tested before anyone outside the room sees it. You'll walk into meetings knowing your numbers cold.
Execute
We run the process with you. Intros, follow-ups, due diligence prep, term sheet negotiations. You keep running your company. We stay in it until the wire clears.

Testimonials
"Delta told us we weren't ready to raise — and they were right. We came back six months later with a much stronger story and closed our seed in four weeks."
Linnéa Moberg
CEO, Stackflow
"Most advisors hand you a template and call it strategy. Delta actually sat in the room with us, rewrote the model, and prepped us for every question investors asked."
Erik Sandell
