Pre-Money & Post-Money Valuation View Details →

An independent valuation of a startup's value before and after a proposed investment round — using methodologies appropriate for early-stage businesses including Berkus Method, Scorecard Valuation, and DCF with high uncertainty adjustments.

When you need this

You are in negotiations with an angel investor or early-stage VC and need to establish a credible pre-money valuation. An investor is challenging your valuation and you need independent support for your position.

How Siyenro delivers it

Siyenro produces a well-reasoned startup valuation — applying multiple methodologies, benchmarking against comparable transactions, and presenting a valuation range with a clear, defensible narrative — giving you the analytical foundation to negotiate your funding round with confidence.

Cap Table Modelling View Details →

Development and management of a dynamic capitalisation table — showing current and projected ownership stakes, the impact of future funding rounds, option pool dilution, and investor return scenarios.

When you need this

You are planning your first funding round and do not fully understand how the cap table will look after investment. You have multiple shareholders and warrant holders and cannot model the ownership implications of a proposed transaction. Investors are requesting a cap table model as part of due diligence.

How Siyenro delivers it

Siyenro builds a comprehensive, dynamic cap table model — showing current ownership, modelling the impact of proposed investment rounds, tracking option pool allocations, and calculating founder and investor economics at various exit scenarios — giving all parties clarity on the ownership and return implications of your funding decisions.

ESOP Design & Term Sheet Advisory View Details →

Design of an Employee Share Option Plan (ESOP) that rewards and retains key talent, and expert review of investor term sheets — identifying the commercial and financial implications of proposed terms.

When you need this

You want to offer share options to key employees to attract and retain talent but do not know how to structure an option scheme. You have received a term sheet from an investor and need expert guidance on the financial implications of the proposed terms.

How Siyenro delivers it

Siyenro designs an ESOP structure that balances employee incentive with founder and investor interests, and provides a detailed analysis of investor term sheets — explaining the economic and control implications of liquidation preferences, anti-dilution provisions, and other key terms in language your management team can act on.

02

Colombo Port City Advisory

Ongoing CPC Compliance Management View Details →

Continuous management of your CPC entity's compliance obligations — CEZA regulatory filings, annual returns, financial reporting requirements, and ongoing liaison with the Colombo Port City Economic Commission.

When you need this

Your CPC entity is operational but you do not have the internal expertise to manage its distinct compliance obligations. The CPC regulatory framework is evolving and you need expert monitoring of changes that affect your entity.

How Siyenro delivers it

Siyenro provides ongoing compliance management for your CPC entity — maintaining a comprehensive compliance calendar, managing all CEZA filings and returns, monitoring regulatory developments, and providing proactive advisory on changes that affect your CPC operations.

When you need this

You owe significant amounts to multiple creditors and cannot service all obligations simultaneously.
