Solas Communications works with established and first-time fund managers and growing companies to help them raise capital more efficiently. We increase their chances of success through highly professional, compelling and concise fundraising materials that meet the needs and surpass the expectations of institutional investors. With Solas Communications, clients can effectively leverage their time and focus on what they do best: ensuring the success of their businesses.
We have a deep understanding of what limited partners (LPs) want to see from a venture capital, private equity or other type of fund and what it takes to build a solid foundation of trust with LPs. We believe that thorough and transparent fundraising documents are critical for winning the interest of LPs and facilitate the investment process.
We analyze a planned fund’s competitive position and work with the GP to develop differentiated positioning, a value proposition and key messages. With these serving as our anchors, we determine what information is relevant and appropriate for each stage of the fundraising process and eliminate what’s not. We proactively address LPs’ likely questions and a fund’s potential weaknesses. We advise clients on how to construct investment performance records the way LPs look at them.
We then bring it all together in a set of integrated fundraising documents: private placement memorandum, investor presentation and stand-alone executive summary. We also have strong knowledge of how the rules and regulations that govern the marketing of unregistered securities shape these documents.
We also advise on due diligence materials and prepare management teams to meet with investors.

What Clients Say
Your ability to quickly understand our industry and the business proposition we are presenting was very impressive. But your clarity in explaining it back to us really stands out. Both the memo and the presentation are terrific.
I have received extremely positive comments on your [writing] workshops, congratulations! Both the techniques and the way you conducted the sessions (with so much preparation and personalized attention) were complimented
I simply cannot say enough wonderful things about Amy Solas. She has repeatedly demonstrated an uncanny ability to help me sort and package all my ideas together, and deliver cogent and articulate work product. My business is complex; Amy is a pro at helping to explain it both succinctly and comprehensively. The amount of work required to put forth excellent materials is daunting and Amy was with me 100% of the way.
When we formed our firm, Amy was instrumental as a thought partner. She helped us articulate our strategy, market differentiation and value proposition, and distill it all on paper in a coherent, succinct and polished fashion.
Amy was very insightful about helping us craft our message, connecting new concepts to established and accepted mental models and language.
