spectup powers fundraising for growth-stage companies; spectupX handles private placements for enterprises and funds targeting LPs, family offices, and pension funds.
At spectup, we work with founders who’ve built traction and are ready to scale. Our team designs the entire fundraising process: from the investment story and financials to investor outreach and deal flow execution. We combine strategy, investor readiness, and multi-channel outreach to help founders close rounds faster and with the right partners.
Through spectupX, we take that same precision into larger, institutional raises. We support enterprises, venture funds, and capital-intensive businesses with private placement mandates, connecting them directly to LPs, family offices, and pension funds. This side of our business operates with full discretion and deep relationships across the investor landscape—built to align serious opportunities with serious capital.
Our edge is our proprietary Tech Stack, built from the ground up to automate and personalize outreach at scale. We use live data signals to map investor interest, fund activity, and capital flows, ensuring every message lands at just the right time. For example, when a new VC fund closes fresh capital from LPs, our platform detects the move and enables a tailored introduction from a startup that perfectly fits their thesis. If a family office shifts focus toward climate tech, we target them with relevant founders ready to engage. When an enterprise fund is open for strategic investments, spectupX connects them with select opportunities within our network.

spectup provided capital raising services for a sports investment company. The team optimized the client's pitch deck and conducted outreach to potential investors.
spectup's work resulted in a strong pitch deck and numerous meetings with investors. The team was highly dedicated, responsive, and timely in their project management. However, spectup could have provided more strategic guidance and identified a more focused set of investors for the project.

Our Story
After launching spectup as a pitch deck agency in 2022, Niclas quickly expanded its scope when founders asked for strategic investor intros, faster processes, and smarter outreach. The success—and frustration with slow, network-only fundraising—prompted the team to build its own in-house technology, combining signal-based investor mapping with personal relationships
