From the very beginning, Jason was incredibly helpful. Throughout the process, Jason made everything run smoothly and professionally. His expertise and personalized approach exceeded our expectations.
Thunder was my secret weapon while fundraising. They supported me with key analysis to help close my debt financing. They gave great guidance on fundraising. The team goes above and beyond and delivers on what they say they are going to do.
Coming out of our raise I am more indebted to Jason & his team for all of their advice, guidance, and leaderships than anyone else. That's a big achievement given our scale.
Thunder's responsiveness & willingness to help allowed us to close our pre-seed and seed stage investments quickly. We're thrilled to have Jason as a part of the team and strongly recommend founders to work with him!
I'm incredibly grateful for Jason. I knew I needed growth capital, but I had no idea how to get it. Jason made it so easy. I plan to use Thunder for all our capital needs in the future.
Thunder has been like fairy dust for me. It has been great putting together a pitch deck and seeing investors respond to it so positively. Dealing with Thunder has made me so much more optimistic about my business.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is Thunder different from other investment banks?
Who is Thunder's ideal client?
What types of service does Thunder offer?
Why should I use Thunder?
Many founders try to handle fundraising or M&A on their own, but this often leads to suboptimal outcomes, longer timelines, and significant opportunity costs. As exited founders ourselves, we understand the complexities you're facing and can help you navigate them more effectively. We bring deep market knowledge, established investor relationships, negotiation expertise, and the ability to position your company strategically to maximize value while you focus on running your business.
Do you work with pre-revenue or early-stage companies?
While our core investment banking services are designed for companies with established revenue, we're committed to supporting founders at every stage of their journey. For earlier-stage companies, we offer comprehensive free training materials, educational resources, and specialized packages that can help you build toward that next milestone. We believe in providing value first and building long-term relationships as you grow your business.
