Clarifin Information

Kipla is a startup advisory for founding teams between Seed and Series A. Between first funding and Series A, founders have to build a company while raising money for it. The questions pile up: Which round, which investors, which grants and loans? What comes first? How do we organise the team, set up HR and choose the right tools? What should the board and investors see every month? We work alongside founders on exactly these questions, as sparring partners and with hands-on support. Our backbone is finance: years of CFO, controlling and M&A experience in international corporates and deep tech scale-ups. Every important decision eventually shows up in the numbers, so that's where we start. What we do → Funding: equity story, investor process, grants, promotional loans and debt alongside equity → Strategy & priorities: business plan, milestones, board and investor alignment → Organisation & people: team structure, hiring plan, HR setup and policies → Operations & tools: processes, finance and IT stack, reporting → Finance leadership: planning, liquidity, KPIs, Fractional CFO support How we work Short sprints with a clear result, such as a Series A readiness check or a funding roadmap, or ongoing support on a monthly basis. Our own platform Clarifin gives founders and us one shared view of the numbers from week one.
