What our clients say about us

There are typically two reasons start ups fail: lack of commercial execution and poor financial management. As a venture capital firm managing multiple portfolio companies, having access to a seasoned CFO without the full-time overhead has been invaluable to both us as a VC and to the start ups themselves. Lucidum's strategic financial guidance built our portfolio anaysis, review and reporting across the board. They bring institutional-grade expertise ensuring our portfolio companies stay disciplined and investor-ready.

Working with Lucidum has been a high positive for YellowDog. As an early life-cycle start up, we cannot afford or access full time enterprise grade financial expertise.  Thier knowledge of the inner workings and challenges of a startup starting to scale was critical.  Not to mention, their expertise throughout our fundraising process has been a particular stand-out feature. We felt supported throughout while also having confidence that the day-to-day operations were always under control.
