Our mission at Next is simple: Empower Startup Success. This means that we’re 100% focused on supporting startups throughout their life cycle from launch to capital raising, to scale and growth.

NEXT’s client-centric legal service delivery model and startup platform was designed by entrepreneurs for entrepreneurs. In order to serve our diverse clientele and simplify access to our expanding suite of products and services, several of our free resources will now be housed under My NEXT Raise, our new investor readiness platform.

Your Startup Journey

Launching and building a startup often requires raising multiple rounds of funding from pre-seed to seed to Series A. As a founder, you could spend hundreds of hours trying to find and secure meetings with the right investors. It’s an arduous process but one that is critical to your success.

The big question you need to ask yourself: When you’re finally face to face with a potential funder, will you be “investor ready”?
