BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the co-founder of a pioneering social enterprise project for establishing three eco-conscious lodges.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with FasterCapital?

We needed help with strategic mentorship, capital-raising support, and access to a global network of investors and industry experts.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

FasterCapital has provided technical support for developing a business plan, pitch deck, and financial model. We’ve developed the first draft of the three strategic documents and submitted them to FasterCapital, which has shared them with its base of angel capitalists for feedback. The deliverables include the final business plan, pitch deck, and financial model, and we’re now in the fundraising stage.

What is the team composition?

We’ve worked with three teammates from FasterCapital, including Lydia, who is in charge of the media, and Nour and Sella, who manage the fundraising.

How did you come to work with FasterCapital?

We found them through an online search. They’re the most reputable global venture builder and online incubator, dedicated to co-funding and co-founding innovative startups.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working with them in July 2025, and the engagement is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

We’ve received feedback from angel capitalists, which shows that the project is viable and has a ROI. For example, one angel capitalist said, “PELO Tour Lodges’ partnership strategy with NGOs, sports federations, and tour operators is smart for market penetration, but I want to see more concrete MoUs or letters of intent to validate these claims.”

In response to this feedback, we’re currently finalizing MoUs with two national sports federations and letters of collaboration with three tour operators. These will be available for investor due diligence prior to closing the funding.

How did FasterCapital perform from a project management standpoint?

FasterCapital is competent in project management and delivers on time. We’re just waiting to see if they can raise the finances within the timeframe. We communicate via email.

What did you find most impressive about them?

FasterCapital has employees who are very able and patient. Whenever we show weaknesses during the technical support period, they’re available to clarify what we need.

Are there any areas they could improve?

We’re just lacking a timeline for selling our startup to investors. We wish to know, according to their experience, how long it can take to raise funds. Otherwise, they’re doing well.
