Capital Strategy & Structuring
The

vantage
Success doesn’t start with funding.
It starts with a project that can survive investor scrutiny.
I’ve built my career in film but the capital principles apply everywhere. I work with independent creators, founders, and entrepreneurs to shape ventures that are capital-worthy, not just creatively strong, but financially sound, risk-aligned, and strategically packaged for real investment.
I manage access to a private capital network representing over $130 million in equity, raised and maintained through long-term trust with high-net-worth individuals and family offices focused on Entertainment and Innovation.
That trust isn’t handed out. It’s earned by projects that are credible on paper, viable in market, and defensible under due diligence. From development oversight and creative packaging to financial modeling, investor positioning, and distribution logic, every component is sharpened to meet the standards of serious capital.
This isn’t pitch support.
This is capital enforcement.
This is the RAPP // VANTAGE.
EARNING the RAPP // VANTAGE
Rapp Consulting was built on the belief that creativity alone is not enough. It needs structure, strategy, and a clear path to capital.
The RAPP // VANTAGE is not a pitch technique or a brand exercise. It’s the discipline of making your project real.
I built this approach because I was done watching great ideas fall apart from soft structure, unclear positioning, or founders who thought money was the starting point instead of the outcome.
Unlocking it means you stop chasing capital and start building something it actually responds to. It means you’re ready to have your assumptions challenged, your blind spots exposed, and your project rebuilt to stand up to real scrutiny.
It also means you stop talking about being serious and prove it.
Keep going. You’re about to see how the process works.
The RAPP // Capital Process
If it’s not built for capital, it’s not going anywhere. This is where serious projects get built to survive the table.
Capital Strategy Enforcement
I identify where your project's logic breaks in bloated development timelines, missing comparables, unclear risk, or a capital stack that doesn't justify the ask. I rebuild the structure from the inside out defining your deal shape, positioning, investment thesis, and path to return. You walk out of this phase with a deal that can actually be defended.
Capital Viability Engineering
I take your financials apart and rebuild them with real math. This includes budget validation, waterfall modeling, use of funds, valuation logic, and investor return paths. If the numbers collapse in diligence, it’s dead. I make sure they don’t.
Capital Deal Management
Once capital is in motion, I stay embedded in the process, responding to investor pushback, fixing deal friction in real time, and guiding you through negotiation and diligence. Most people fail after the pitch. I make sure you don’t lose control when money is actually on the table.
