More than advice.
Access that moves business forward.

We work directly with founders, CEOs and business owners at the moments where strategy, capital and relationships matter most.

From the first investor narrative and fundraising strategy through growth, international expansion and eventual exit, The Alchemists provides senior-level advisory with direct access to an international business network.

Who we work with

Founders raising capital

You need the right investors and a story they understand.

Companies expanding abroad

You need partners, clients and decision-makers in a new market.

Owners preparing to sell

You need the right buyer and a process that protects the value you built.

Teams without a senior growth lead

You need senior ownership of business development, without a full-time hire.

Capital alone
is rarely enough.

Companies grow when capital, strategy, execution and relationships move together.

Capital
Strategy
Execution
Relationships

The Alchemists was created to bring those elements into one advisory relationship. Instead of treating fundraising, growth, business development or exit planning as isolated exercises, we look at the whole commercial picture: the company, the market, the narrative, the people and the network required to move forward.

That approach is strengthened by GPA Investment Group, providing access to businesses, executives, specialists, partners and international relationships.

Our approach

We take your business from its first story to its final outcome.

It starts with the narrative. We shape how your business, your market and your opportunity are told, so you are ready to raise capital. Then we connect you with the right investors, or help you expand into new markets or prepare for an exit.

We stay with you from the first conversation to completion. You work with a team that carries each step through, not one that only advises from the side.

The Alchemists is part of GPA Investment Group. Our network is strong and has been built through many successful cases, which is why the introductions we make reach the right decision-makers.

Shape the story

We turn your business into a narrative that investors understand and want to back.

Raise the capital

We connect you with the investors aligned to your sector, stage and capital needs.

Open new markets

We find the partners, clients and decision-makers that turn access into real business.

Drive the growth

We take senior ownership of business development, so your pipeline, partnerships and key accounts keep growing.

Secure the exit

We position your business for the right buyer and carry the process through to completion.

Questions we are often asked

Who do you work with?

Founders, CEOs and business owners who are raising capital, entering new markets, preparing a sale or need senior business development leadership.

How are you paid?

It depends on the service. Fundraising and market entry are a retainer plus a success or ongoing fee, investment decks are a one-off fee, sell-side M&A is a retainer plus a success fee on completion, and the fractional role is a monthly fee.

Is the first conversation confidential?

Yes. A first conversation is free and stays between us.

What is your relationship with GPA Investment Group?

The Alchemists is part of GPA Investment Group. Its network and experience support the introductions and processes we run for clients.

Do you act for buyers?

No. Our M&A work is sell-side only. We act for the owner who is selling.

What do you need from me to start?

A short description of your business, what you want to achieve and any material you already have, such as financials or a presentation. It does not need to be polished.
