Behind the numbers

How it came together

01

The challenge

Aera didn't want to chase founders. They wanted founders raising capital to come to them — with intent, not curiosity. The problem with outbound in investment banking is that it feels desperate. Aera needed inbound that felt like gravity.

02

The setup

Reachium built a content-driven lead generation system. Thought leadership positioned Aera as the firm founders should already know about. Every piece of content ended with a clear call to action — not "follow us" but "book a call if you're raising." The content did the qualifying before anyone hit the calendar.

03

The results

524 hot leads from founders actively raising capital. All inbound. A 38% reply rate on follow-up sequences. The pipeline filled itself — Aera stopped sourcing and started selecting.

Five hundred founders raising capital found us. We didn't find them — the content did.
