Startup Advisory for Web3 Founders Who Play to Win
Riverstone is a Web3 first startup advisory. We help startups raise smarter, tell sharper stories, and scale.
Driving Impact Through Financial Expertise
Case studies showcasing bespoke strategies, actionable insight, and proven outcomes.
The Challenge
Technical founders struggled to juggle product development with fundraising, branding, and market entry demands. They risked losing traction while being bogged down by tasks outside their expertise.
The Solution
- • Brand narrative and website development
- • On-ground support at Token2049 Dubai
- • Customer pipeline development
- • Social media management and rebranding
- • Warm investor introductions
The Impact
Strong traction in investor meetings, bustling customer and partner pipeline, and controlled public narrative. Founders stayed focused on product development and deal closures while Riverstone's round-the-clock support provided cost-effective peace of mind.
The Challenge
The client needed a decision framework, not just a valuation. Should they acquire to leverage licensing and technology, or build internally at a slower but more controlled pace?
The Solution
- • Mediated buyer-seller communication
- • Full-spectrum due diligence coordination
- • Dynamic decision modeling (acquire vs. build)
- • Strategic guidance and executive insights
The Impact
Riverstone enabled a clear, confident decision aligned with long-term goals. What began as M&A mediation turned into a strategic partnership. Today, we continue to support their growth journey through research, advisory, and special projects.
The Challenge
How could they justify a nine-figure valuation to professional investors? How could they present both revenue potential and token dynamics without overwhelming stakeholders? All in under a week.
The Solution
- • Vision translation into credible financial narrative
- • Web2/Web3 comparable benchmarking
- • Dual revenue modeling (product + token)
- • Dynamic investor-ready financial model
The Impact
In seven days, Riverstone delivered a complete valuation and fundraising toolkit. The financial model became a core component of the investor pitch, helping founders move conversations forward with clarity and confidence. The $10M raise became not only credible but compelling.
