Berlin, Germany — At just 26 years old, Lucas Roemer is taking a structured and internationally informed approach to a complex challenge: preparing startups for successful fundraising. As the founder of Roemer Capital, a German-based investment advisory firm, Roemer works with early-stage and growth companies to improve investor readiness, clarify positioning, and connect with the right financing partners.
In a market where speed, story, and structure often determine the outcome of capital raises, Roemer Capital has established itself as a focused partner for founders who need more than just pitch materials—they need a process.
With a growing client base and international perspective, Roemer Capital is now aiming to become the leading capital advisory boutique for startups and growth companies in the European region—bringing world-class fundraising preparation to a market in need of more structure and strategic depth.
Academic Background with a Global View
Roemer began his early career in 2017, working with startups in Berlin, collaborating closely with founders of top tech ventures and gaining first-hand insight into the dynamics of early-stage fundraising. This practical experience shaped his understanding of what early companies need when seeking capital.
He later pursued academic studies in the States (Boston), where he developed a strong interest in finance, entrepreneurship, and transatlantic markets. Roemer then advanced to Georgetown University in Washington, D.C., focusing on economics and international political economy. His academic background also includes tenures at Oxford and at The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania—the world’s first business school and a breeding ground for many successful entrepreneurs such as Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and Warren Buffett—further deepening his expertise in capital markets and strategic leadership and building his network also overseas.
This blend of U.S.-based education and European business experience gives Roemer an international perspective that is particularly valuable to founders aiming to raise capital across borders, plan for expansion, or engage international investors.
Roemer comments:
“Understanding both investor expectations and cultural nuances on each side of the Atlantic is key. Many strong European companies get overlooked simply because they don’t speak the language of capital fluently—strategically or structurally, especially when it comes to expansion plans and strategic opportunities further down the road.”
Grounded in Operational & Financial Experience
Before founding Roemer Capital, Lucas Roemer worked closely with startups in operational and strategic roles, giving him direct insight into the challenges early-stage companies face. His understanding of product development, market positioning, and capital strategy is based not only on formal education but also on practical experience.
Following his studies, Roemer deepened his expertise in international finance through roles at leading institutions. He worked at a boutique investment bank in Paris and later at a London-based investment boutique, where he advised clients on cross-border fundraising strategies and early-stage capital structuring as well as on exit processes. He then joined KPMG Corporate Finance, where he was involved in managing major M&A transactions across the DACH region. At KPMG, Roemer supported both buy-side and sell-side mandates, conducting financial due diligence, building transaction models, and advising corporate clients and private equity firms. His direct exposure to private equity transactions gave him a deep understanding of investor expectations, deal mechanics, and capital allocation strategies.
Roemer adds:
“This blend of startup proximity and institutional finance gave me both strategic perspective and practical execution experience—qualities that now shape my structured, results-driven approach to advising and support founders in the best way possible throughout their fundraising process.”
A Focus on Investor Readiness
Roemer Capital works with startups and digital businesses—particularly in SaaS, e-commerce, DTC, and digital services—who are raising between €150k and €10 million in capital. Many of these companies already show early traction but require more structured guidance to present themselves in an investor-ready manner.
The firm’s core services include:
· Financial modeling
· Equity story & positioning
· Business planning
· External CFO support
· Investor access
Roemer’s approach emphasizes alignment between a company’s story, numbers, and growth plan—ensuring that founders are not only confident in what they’re pitching but understand how investors evaluate risk, potential, and timing.
Communication as Strategy
A distinguishing element of Roemer’s work is his attention to how founders communicate during the fundraising process. Drawing on frameworks such as those explored in Hudson Weekly’s “Conversations Unlocked” feature, Roemer integrates elements of conversation analysis into founder preparation.
This includes helping clients refine their tone, delivery, and timing in pitch meetings—an area often overlooked in traditional advisory services. The goal isn’t to script meetings in the general way, but to ensure that founders can present their companies with clarity and composure in high-stakes settings.
A Targeted, Quietly Growing Practice
Roemer Capital operates as a boutique advisory firm, working with a limited number of clients at any given time. The firm has earned referrals across Germany and neighboring markets through consistent results and a process-driven approach. While Roemer maintains a low public profile, his firm’s work has led to funding rounds and investor introductions across a range of verticals.
The focus remains on sustainable growth and high-quality engagements, rather than volume-driven models.
Strategic Growth Across the DACH Region
As more startups in Europe seek structured support in navigating their fundraising journey, Roemer Capital is gradually expanding its footprint. The firm is building relationships with founders and advisors in Germany, Austria, and across Switzerland, with the goal of serving a broader set of companies while maintaining its high-touch model.
Roemer Capital’s long-term vision is clear: to become the go-to fundraising partner and market leader in the European region. With a structured methodology, institutional insight, and startup-operational experience, the firm is uniquely positioned to deliver measurable results in a fragmented advisory market.
Next Steps for Roemer Capital
Lucas Roemer is part of a new generation of financial professionals who combine analytical skill with a clear understanding of startup realities. Through Roemer Capital, he is helping early-stage companies become better prepared for the demands of today’s capital markets—bringing structure, clarity, and strategic thinking to a process that many find complex and opaque.
Roemer’s work reflects a growing recognition among founders that investor readiness is not just about storytelling—it’s about alignment, discipline, and laser-focused preparation.
