BOOST your Capital Raise Strategy with Soda's support
Our BOOST programme is about connecting you with the right mentor and resources to support you on your Capital Raise Strategy.
If you’re looking for pragmatic support to give you insights into developing a capital raise strategy that will enable you to scale sustainably – look no further. The BOOST programme is customised around your needs. We sit down with you to first understand what your immediate capital raising needs are then design a customised programme to help develop out a clear captial raise strategy for you. You will be matched with a mentor who will be someone who has successfully raised capital before to guide you through the programme.
BOOST Programme
We love to work with curious, creative and courageous people. For our BOOST programme - we want to focus on businesses that are ready to go global! We want to help you take it to the world.
Who are we looking for?
Does your business identify with any of these points? If yes, you're the kind of business we want to give a boost!

- Our business is disruptive, scalable and has unique intellectual property
- We would benefit from legal and financial guidance in the capital raising process

No Equity and No Fees
