✺ FAQ
Questions we hear most.
Vesta structures ventures and transactions, prepares and runs capital raises, and builds investor-ready operations. We are not a law firm or a broker-dealer — we work alongside your counsel and licensed intermediaries.
About Vesta
What does Vesta actually do?
We structure ventures and transactions, prepare and run capital raises, build investor-ready operations and reporting, design partnership and sponsorship revenue, and build frameworks for bringing real-world assets into modern markets. In practice that means the structure work and the execution work sit in the same engagement.
Who do you work with?
Founders raising institutional or private capital, fund managers and sponsors, owners of income-producing real assets, operators in regulated categories, and teams bringing real-world assets on-chain. Engagements run best when there is a decision-maker in the room and a real transaction or raise on the table.
Are you a broker-dealer or a law firm?
No. Vesta is neither a broker-dealer nor a law firm, and we do not provide legal or investment advice. We structure, prepare, and execute alongside your counsel and licensed intermediaries, and we will tell you plainly when something needs to sit with them.
Engagements & pricing
How do you price?
Every engagement is scoped and quoted up front against a defined deliverable set and timeline. We do not publish pricing, because the scope varies widely between a framework, a raise, and an ongoing fractional role. You will have the number before any work starts.
Do you charge success fees?
Engagements are scoped up front. We will tell you on the first call how we price the specific work you need, and any performance-linked component is agreed in writing before the engagement begins — never assumed.
How fast can we start?
A Capital Checkup can usually happen within a week. Scoped engagements typically begin within two to three weeks of an agreed scope, depending on the depth of the diagnostic and the availability of your team and counsel.
What's a Capital Checkup?
A structured working session where we review your position, structure, materials, and readiness, then tell you what is fundable today, what is blocking a close, and where the fastest path to capital runs. You leave with the findings whether or not we work together afterwards.
Capital raises
Do you make investor introductions?
Where there is a genuine fit, we make warm introductions through the partners' networks. We do not sell access, we do not guarantee introductions or outcomes, and we do not act as a placement agent — capital-raising activity that requires a license sits with a licensed intermediary.
What size raises do you work on?
Typically $1M to $100M+ across the engagement types, from single-asset SPVs to fund vehicles and multi-tranche structures. The right fit depends more on the clarity of the asset and the structure than on the headline number.
Can you help if we've already started raising?
Yes, and it is common. We usually start by diagnosing why the current raise is stalling — most often position, structure, or materials rather than outreach volume — then rebuild what is failing and restart the sequence without burning the investors you have already touched.
Tokenization & RWA
What does tokenization cost and how long does it take?
It depends on the legal wrapper, the jurisdiction, and the technology and custody stack you end up with — those three choices drive most of the cost and nearly all of the timeline. A framework engagement scopes it properly and gives you phased costs and a realistic schedule before you commit to a build.
Partnerships
How do you work with our existing team and counsel?
We work inside your team rather than beside it: shared documents, your tools, your cadence, and a named owner on both sides for every workstream. Legal questions route to your counsel, licensed activity routes to licensed intermediaries, and we keep the structure and execution moving between them.
