We design how capital moves from institutional pools into frontier opportunities — with governance, verification, and structural clarity. Four engagements. One methodology.
Each engagement follows the same Pre-Underwriting & Capital Architecture methodology — adapted to where you sit in the 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.
Explore the Sprint →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.
Explore Sponsor Architecture →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.
Explore Allocation Advisory →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.
Explore Facility Design →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."
The methodology draws on direct experience across three institutional positions that rarely combine in one practice:
Structuring blended finance vehicles, catalytic capital layers, and institutional governance frameworks from the inside.
Evaluating fund structures, governance overlays, and GP readiness from the allocator's perspective. Knowing what an IC needs to see.
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.
Capital architecture informed by 10+ institutional fund archetypes — from three-layer tiered risk structures to lifecycle-staged blended facilities. Real patterns from real deployments.
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.

Free. No obligation. We'll review your current concept, identify structural gaps, and recommend which engagement fits. If none do, we'll tell you.
