For projects where preparation is worth more than courage.

A private advisory mandate for principals, entrepreneurs, family offices and project leads who do not need more fog around capital, structure, market, timing or positioning. Just better sorting.

The retainer is built for serious mandates: due diligence, risk check, readiness, positioning and a plan that does not smell like wishful thinking.

For whom

Not for curiosity. For decisions.

This page is not a waiting room for free opinions. It is for people who know that a bad next step is more expensive than an honest review before it.

Principals

Owners, founders, investors, family offices or authorized decision-makers. No assistant roulette.

Capital-intensive projects

Real estate, development, UAE / Dubai, strategic transactions, infrastructure, energy or complex market opportunities.

Readiness questions

Is the story solid? Is the timing real? Is the investor wrong? Is the project ready — or just loud?

Private Judgment

Experience, pattern recognition and plain talk before the next step. Less theater. More substance.

What the retainer delivers

Work. Not atmosphere.

The retainer is structured as a private advisory mandate. It does not sell proximity. It sells judgment, structure and a harder review of the next steps.

Option 1 · Flagship Retainer

Strategic Advisory Retainer

For capital-intensive projects where risk, structure, positioning and timing need to hold.

Due diligence & structured risk check: What holds, what wobbles, what falls apart by the second sentence?
Readiness Assessment: What is missing, what is dangerous, what must improve immediately.
Positioning Memo: Investor narrative, market framing and clear prioritization.
Next-Step Plan: Concrete sequence instead of endless options.
Selective introductions: Only if project, timing and context fit — strictly at Thomas Kramer’s discretion.
Retainer: upfront, earned on receipt, strictly non-refundable.

The network is not the service. The judgment before it is the service.

What it explicitly is not

No fundraising buffet.

So nobody accidentally arrives with champagne expectations and a supermarket budget.

No fundraising

No fundraising mandate, no placement, no capital introduction.

No guarantee

No guarantee of meetings, introductions, financing, closing or commercial outcome.

No financial advice

No regulated financial service, no investment advice, no brokerage.

No free proximity

No free intro call. Anyone who wants “just a quick chat” has already mispriced time.

Process

Four steps. No endless courtesies.

Sabine does not need novels in her inbox. She needs reviewable information. Barbarically efficient, so almost modern.

Provide context

Project, stage, jurisdiction, objective, capital scale, timing, decision point and existing material.

Fit check

Suitable inquiries are reviewed. Unsuitable inquiries are not artificially kept warm.

Confirm retainer

EUR 25,000 upfront. Onboarding after approval and agreement on the concrete deliverables.

Work instead of theater

Due diligence, risk check, positioning, next-step plan and — if appropriate — selective introductions.

The clearer the information, the faster the review. Cryptic hints are for intelligence services. Not for an advisory mandate.

Which concrete decision needs to be prepared? What is already prepared? What should the retainer solve? I understand: The Strategic Advisory Retainer starts at EUR 25,000 upfront. I understand: no fundraising mandate, no brokerage, no investment advice, no guarantee of meetings, introductions, financing or closing. I understand: suitable inquiries receive a response after review. An inquiry is not yet a mandate. I consent to my information being processed for the review of the retainer request.

After submission, the live page should redirect to /en/thank-you/retainer-request.html. Sabine receives the inquiry as a reviewable pipeline entry — not as a mystical email in a bottle.

FAQ

Short, so nobody has to search for long.

How much does the retainer cost?

The Strategic Advisory Retainer is EUR 25,000 upfront. It is structured as a private advisory mandate and is not success-based.

What exactly do I get?

Due diligence, structured risk check, readiness assessment, positioning memo and next-step plan. Selective introductions are only possible if project, timing and context fit.

Does the retainer guarantee financing or meetings?

No. There is no guarantee of financing, meetings, introductions, closing or commercial outcome. Anyone selling guarantees for complex reality is usually not selling reality.

Is this fundraising or investment advice?

No. This is private strategic advisory: business judgment, risk, positioning, readiness and next steps. No brokerage, no fund placement, no regulated financial service.

Is there a free intro call?

No. The retainer is for vetted, serious inquiries. Time is not the free appetizer before the actual meal.

If the next step can get expensive, the review should not be cheap.

This is the retainer: clear review, clear boundaries, clear work. If all you want is applause, somewhere there is surely a panel with a nameplate.
