Start with the business outcome, then calculate the capital required. Explain how the raise will fund expansion, product development, capacity or acquisitions. Connect each use of funds to a milestone and show how long the capital will last. A target amount alone does not explain the opportunity.
For a USD 1–5 million raise, explain the immediate operating plan and the evidence supporting demand. For USD 5–10 million, show how growth can repeat across customers or markets. For USD 10–30 million, make management capacity, reporting, governance and execution readiness clear. These are preparation guides, not fixed eligibility thresholds.
Distinguish new capital entering the business from proceeds paid to existing shareholders. Include your ownership structure, existing funding, proposed valuation and the assumptions behind it. A clear distinction helps investors understand what their capital is intended to achieve.
Calculate the financing gap from a monthly cash forecast. Include the costs needed to reach a measurable milestone, subtract cash genuinely available to the business, and show what happens if receipts arrive later.
| Cash item | USD million |
|---|---|
| Forecast net operating cash outflow to milestone, including expected customer receipts | 2.40 |
| One-off equipment and implementation expenditure, excluded above | 0.60 |
| Minimum ending cash reserve | 0.50 |
| Less unrestricted opening cash | −0.80 |
| Illustrative financing gap | 2.70 |
Do not subtract revenue or customer receipts again if they are already included in net cash outflow. Do not count an uncommitted future round as available cash. Any debt principal repayments or other obligations excluded from this example must be added separately.
In this simplified case, a three-month delay adding USD 0.15 million of net outflow per month increases the gap by USD 0.45 million to USD 3.15 million, assuming all other items remain unchanged.
Record the milestone and target month; monthly opening cash, receipts and payments; one-off expenditure; debt repayments; minimum cash balance; committed financing; and a delayed-delivery scenario. Assign an owner and evidence source to each assumption. Check the lowest monthly balance as well as the ending balance: a temporary shortfall can occur before the milestone.
For a UAE business, prepare your UAE company evidence.
For a Saudi launch, separate Saudi launch assumptions from operating results.
Build it from the operating plan. A useful summary links each use of funds to a cost, a timing assumption and a milestone. Include a slower-growth case so the discussion covers how the business would respond, not just the best outcome.
Explain the current stage and show the evidence you do have: customer adoption, paid revenue, retention or validated demand. Identify the assumptions behind the path to sustainable margins. These preparation points are not a published minimum-revenue or profitability requirement from Cubin.
Cubin invests its own capital and works with an international network of private investors, family offices and investment firms. Our investment focus is USD 1–30 million, from angel and early-stage opportunities through growth and private equity. We assess business quality, financial performance, growth, valuation and risk. Direct investment and investor introductions are different outcomes; neither is guaranteed by submitting a pitch.
Send a short company overview, location, sector, stage, amount sought and intended use of funds. Include revenue or traction where available, ownership information and the next milestone. Attach a non-confidential PDF pitch deck, up to 3 MB. The form is in English and does not require a member account. Your submission is sent to Cubin with the guide page you came from. Do not include sensitive customer data in your initial submission.
Turn your funding milestone into a monthly cash plan. This editable workbook includes an 18-month base plan, an independent delay case and a milestone evidence worksheet. Its hypothetical example shows how delayed receipts change the funding gap and runway.
