Took direct control of financial planning, staffing and supplier management to get the company through to the winter season.
-
Opened and managed discussions with financial institutions to secure the resources needed for operations.
-
Ran a capital-raising process with a major industry player, aimed at commercial support and a potential majority acquisition.
Results
-
The company completed its production cycle and reached the winter season fully operational
-
Strategic process opened with a major industry player
-
Pre-Order reached €1.6M
