Deliverable review
YouEach deliverable is submitted for your review and either accepted or returned with change requests.
Refresh and follow-on
ZKCAPReadiness output ages. The engagement can close with a refresh cadence rather than a one-off document.
Hard limits
What this engagement never includes
Repeated here rather than left on the landing page, because this is where an expectation about funding would otherwise form.
- Coordinating introductions to investors, lenders or funding sources
- Negotiating investment terms on your behalf
- Holding or handling investor funds
- Taking a success fee on a securities transaction
- Placing or distributing securities
- Drafting subscription or securities documentation, or making securities filings
Commercial
Commercial terms
These values are set by business decisions that have not been taken yet. The platform shows the open decision rather than an estimate, so nothing here can be mistaken for a quoted figure.
