Choose the architecture your capital needs.

Each engagement follows the same Pre-Underwriting & Capital Architecture methodology — adapted to where you sit in the capital stack.

For GPs & Fund Managers

Fund Architecture Sprint

Fundraising concept → investable capital stack

You have the thesis and pipeline but need the stack. We deliver a decision-grade capital architecture that can survive LP diligence — stack options, waterfalls, governance blueprint, investor narrative, and LP readiness assessment.

For Project Sponsors & Developers

Project Capital Architecture

Business plan → bankable multi-funder structure

You have the asset — infrastructure, logistics, energy, trade — but need a capital structure that speaks to 15+ investor classes. We design the modular stack, map funder mandates, quantify ESG, and build the investor targeting matrix.

For LPs, DFIs & Family Offices

Allocation & Entry Advisory

Impact appetite → structured frontier exposure

You want frontier exposure but need governance safeguards, structured entry points, and fund manager vetting. We translate allocation appetite into a concrete risk-return seat in the stack — so you participate without inheriting structuring risk.

For DFIs, Ministries & Public Sector

Facility Design & Deployment Architecture

Mandate → deployable capital facility

You commission capital facilities but the pipeline stalls at bankability packaging. We design the vehicle architecture, governance framework, blended finance model, and deployment structure — the external pre-underwriting pack that de-risks your IC process.

Three problems the market keeps describing.

Structure matters, but structuring is hard. Bespoke legal terms, intricate waterfalls, governance complexity, and scarce fund-level data make replication difficult.

"We turn complexity into a decision-grade capital stack in 14 days."

Pre-underwriting is the bottleneck. Investor appetite assessment, capital structure design, and financial modelling are the foundation for any serious raise — yet most skip this step.

"We build the Phase-I pack: investor appetite logic, tranche design, and the model — to get you to credible first conversations."

Catalytic capital is powerful, but sizing it is uncertain. Junior tranches drive mobilisation, but mis-sized concessionality wastes donor resources and creates moral hazard.

"Minimum concessionality by design: correctly sized catalytic layers, not generic subsidies."

Capital architecture from every seat at the table.

The methodology draws on direct experience across three institutional positions that rarely combine in one practice:

DFI Facility Design

Structuring blended finance vehicles, catalytic capital layers, and institutional governance frameworks from the inside.

LP-Side Fund Investment

Evaluating fund structures, governance overlays, and GP readiness from the allocator's perspective. Knowing what an IC needs to see.

Independent Capital Architecture

Designing capital stacks, risk waterfalls, and investor narratives for frontier vehicles — from concept to institutional credibility.

This combination means the work isn't theoretical. It's built by someone who has sat on the IC, deployed the capital, and structured the vehicle.

What we are. What we're not.

RV Advisory
Big 4 consultancies: multi-month mandates, heavy teams, premium overhead
Fixed-scope sprints. You get the blueprint, not a billing relationship.
Placement agents: percentage-based success fees, incentive to close any deal
We structure, we don't broker. Our job ends when the architecture is institution-ready.
Generic advisory: open-ended retainers, scope creep, unclear outputs
Defined deliverables. Fixed timeline. If we can't help, we say so upfront.
Impact measurement firms: track outcomes after the fact
We build evidence before capital commits. Pre-underwriting, not post-hoc reporting.

Capital architecture informed by 10+ institutional fund archetypes — from three-layer tiered risk structures to lifecycle-staged blended facilities. Real patterns from real deployments.

Built inside a live pre-underwriting engine.

RV Advisory is not a standalone consultancy. It sits inside RV Design — a protocol company running 9 ventures across 7 countries through structured proof environments. The same methodology that produces verification-grade evidence for our own portfolio is what we deploy for clients. Gulf capital, African ventures, European regulation.
