The People & Mission Behind RHC

Founded with a mission to democratise access to serious investment — meet the team driving an 80% funding success rate for ambitious founders.

Why Roam Hanks Consultancy Exists

Roam Hanks Consultancy was born from a simple but frustrating observation: too many genuinely exceptional founders were failing to raise — not because their businesses weren't good enough, but because they didn't know how to present them to investors, didn't have the right documentation, and had no route into the rooms where capital decisions are made.

The traditional fundraising world is opaque, relationship-gated, and slow. Advisors charge large retainers for introductions that rarely land. Founders are left with generic pitch templates and cold email lists. The system doesn't work for founders who didn't go to the right school or don't already know the right people.

RHC was built to fix that. We created a private investor network from scratch — curating relationships with angels, VCs, syndicates, and institutional partners who are actively looking for deal flow. We built an operational process that takes a founder from 'not ready' to investor-ready in days. And we structured ourselves around outcomes, not hours.

Where We Started

Founded in the UK with a single client and a clear hypothesis: that founders with strong businesses but weak investor packaging were being left behind by a system built on privilege and access. RHC set out to change that.

Where We Are Now

70+ companies partnered. An 80% funding success rate. A private investor network, a suite of operational services, and a team of specialists — all built around one goal: getting ambitious founders funded.

Our Advisory Network

Beyond the core team, we draw on a curated network of specialist advisors across finance, technology, law, and growth.

Financial & Legal Advisors

Specialist accountants, corporate lawyers, and compliance experts embedded into our due diligence and data room process — ensuring every client's documentation meets institutional standards.

Mission & Values

Everything we do is driven by one outcome: your funding. Here's what that looks like in practice.

Results-First

We don't charge for meetings or slide decks that don't close. We're judged by one metric: did you get funded? Our 80% success rate speaks to that commitment.

Genuine Partnership

We embed ourselves in your journey. We attend the pitch, review the replies, and iterate alongside you — not just hand over a folder and disappear.

Radical Honesty

If your business isn't ready, we'll tell you — and then help you fix it. We don't take on clients we can't genuinely help, because our reputation depends on your result.

Access for All

The investor world is built on warm introductions. We democratise that access — giving founders from any background a shot at the same rooms as their better-connected peers.

Speed to Ready

Investor windows close fast. We move quickly — our average turnaround from onboarding to investor-ready is 14 days. Speed is a competitive advantage we give to every client.

Continuous Improvement

Each engagement makes us smarter. We track what works across our 70+ portfolio companies and apply those insights to every new client we take on.
