deliverables. this is exactly what you get.we run a focused three-week 1:1 package with a dedicated scheduling link for calls and dense work between the calls:
→ strong narrative to pitch with / without deck
→ short blurb / conversation opener
→ leverage points to anchor
→ pitch deck wireframe
→ investor questions + framework for answers that sell your case
→ data room structured and checked
→ other assets lined up and checked
→ pipeline refined
→ messaging and follow-up structure
process. this is how it works.
step 1. analysis and looking for leverage:+ product | category | customer | use cases + market | competition | existing solutions | diversification + growth | GTM strategy | financial projections+ team credibility + the most important metrics | traction | unit economics
step 2. get assets & narrative ready:+ customer-facing vs investor-facing narrative and why's the difference + deck wireframe and pitch ready+ data room structure+ tricky investor questions and how to address them
step 3. build investor pipeline:+ investor profile: stage, round, check size, market vertical, $$ allocation+ fundraising stages and how to move down the funnel + messaging and follow-ups + valuation, equity, and amount raised negotiation

best value for: pre-seed and/or first-time founders
best value for: seed founders and/or repeat founders
timeline: three weeks of 1:1 workrecordings: you can record all of our sessions team: best for the team members who will be involved in the raise
+ raising pre-seed / first-time founders:
their main objective is to figure out what to do to get ready for a raise and how to approach the task. the usual questions are:
what's the most impactful thing? what will move the needle and what's the waste of time? where to get the warm intros?
+ raising seed / repeated founders:
they walked the walk and know what it takes - they raised angel / VC money before.
the usual objective is: I know how much work the prep is, please do the job for me.
questions answered:
who should I invite to the calls?
if you have a co-founder and they are part of the team's fundraising effort, they should be there. if you have anyone who's helping you with the customer-facing positioning and/or marketing, that's a good option too.
do you help with designs?
no, we provide a wireframe and leave designs to you, but we can recommend vetted partners to work with.
do you have a supporting package after the main job is done?
yes, it includes a debrief of the recorded calls, messaging, and analyzing the term sheets. we work with $1.200 monthly retainer rate.
do you do introductions to VCs and/or angels?
yes, if we see that's a great fit, we'll make a genuine intro. we don't offer brokerage for now.
do you take equity?
no, we work on a flat fee.
Matthew didn’t just skim through our pitch deck. He dug in, understood the story we were trying to tell, asked the right questions, and delivered a clear, and incredibly useful review.
His feedback was spot-on, packed with actionable insights, and delivered with the kind of clarity and confidence you want when you're getting outside eyes on something that matters (like raising funds!)

Alex EniolaFounder @ Precision Health
"Guys understood our reality and didn't push for major changes. Instead, they highlighted the minor and most important ones that could improve the overall impression.
The additional session with a different approach to pitching made me learn how to properly provide the info investors expect to get."
