I support fundraising from a position of having been on both sides of the table: as a VC investor and as an operator running fundraising internally.
I rely on experience from:
leading fundraising preparation and investor outreach as Chief of Staff at a startup
reviewing and approving deals as an Investment Manager in a VC fund
working with founders during follow-on rounds and investor discussions
I don’t sell “PR storytelling”. I focus on numbers, positioning and credibility.
What I do
Prepare and refine investor-grade financial models
Align numbers with the actual fundraising narrative
Help structure assumptions the way investors expect to see them
Support investor Q&A preparation around metrics, runway and risks
Review decks and data rooms from an investor perspective
What you gain
Fewer red flags during investor discussions
Faster, more confident answers to financial questions
Better alignment between story, metrics and valuation expectations
Reduced risk of being challenged on basic financial logic
Typical deliverables
Fundraising-ready financial model
Review and comments on pitch deck (numbers + structure)
Key metrics and KPI definitions
Q&A prep around cash, runway and use of funds
Optional investor shortlists or outreach strategy support
Best suited for founders preparing pre-seed to Series A rounds, and for teams who want their numbers to survive real scrutiny.
