Capital Raising
It can be a lengthy and hard process to find the right partner for your company. When looking for an investor who is willing to invest in a start up company, the process can normally easily end without any success.
At Energy Market Partners, we help bridge the gap between investors and traders, creating a dynamic product where opportunities develop and energy markets thrive. Whether you’re looking to diversify your portfolio or find strategic trading partners, our consultancy offers unparalleled insights and connections.
We have already been successful in connecting traders and investors resulting in multiple new trading companies, which with the help of our services, has scaled and been profitable within the first trading year.
Furthermore, we have helped established companies to find the right investor to kickstart the growth journey towards new markets.
Are we a match?
If you can say yes to one of the following things please reach out:
Are you a trader investigating starting your own trading company, but are missing the capital?
Are you an established trading company looking for investors to kickstart growth?

Once you have reached out and gone through a KYC check, you will be added to the trading partner catalog. Once a month an updated and anonymized catalog will be sent out to parties, giving an easy overview of potential trading partners.

If both parties see a fit, an introduction meeting will be planned. Hereafter EMP can help facilitate the ownership structure based on our former experience and in close collaboration with the relevant stakeholders.
