Role: INVESTMENT READINESS ADVISOR

Industry: CPG and RTD ALCOHOL BRANDS; CLIMATE TECH: agritech; foodtech, circular economy; green chemistry , biotech

Situation:

I'm a solo Investment Readiness Advisor operating independently, not yet part of a fund but actively building a network of relationships with angel investors, with the ambition of evolving into a micro-fund over time. My working style is hands-on, data-driven, and relationship-first -- I work closely with founders one-on-one rather than at arm's length. Because there's currently no board, LP group, or network lead I report into, governance is self-directed, which places the responsibility squarely on me to build strong operating discipline -- particularly around delivering excellent, consistent customer care, since this is fundamentally a 1:1 advisory service where trust and attentiveness are the product.

Question to Marcus:

“

How can you help me with my client building a RTD light alcohol brand in London
