Fundraising Strategy & Investor Readiness
I run technical due diligence for investors. This is the service where I get you ready to pass it — a sharp narrative, credible numbers, and materials that stand up to the scrutiny I bring from the other side of the table. Guidance from someone who has raised $33M+ as a founder.
Get your A–F readiness grade + the red flags a DD will surface.
- The Cloud – $17M raised
- Eyewa – $8.6M raised
- Miniexchange/Sprii – $4M raised
- The List – $3.5M raised
Most founders don't lose a round because the idea is weak — they lose it because the story, the numbers, and the diligence trail aren't ready to withstand scrutiny. Having raised across e-commerce, SaaS, and food-tech, I work alongside you to close that gap: a compelling, defensible narrative, a financial model investors trust, and a data room that answers the hard questions before they're asked.
The productized way in is the Pre-DD Audit — a fixed-scope dry run of the exact technical due diligence I run for investors: the eight dimensions assessed, red flags surfaced and remediated, and your data room prepared, so you pass technical due diligence instead of stalling on it. Start with the free DD-Readiness Check to see where you stand today.
What I help you with
- Investor Narrative & Positioning: The story, framing, and proof points that make your company the obvious bet.
- Pitch Deck & Business Plan: Build or review clear, compelling, investor-focused materials tailored to your stage and market—including standalone deck and plan reviews.
- Financial Model & Metrics: Numbers that hold up — unit economics, projections, and the KPIs investors actually weigh.
- Data Room & Diligence Prep: Get organized and credible so due diligence accelerates your round instead of stalling it.
- Fundraising Strategy: Stage, timing, valuation expectations, and process — so you run the raise, not the other way around.
Want to see what the other side of the table checks? I run the same technical due diligence for investors and acquirers — so I prepare you against exactly the findings that stall or kill a round.
Who this is for
- Founders preparing for a pre-seed, seed, or Series A raise
- Startups and scale-ups entering new markets or verticals
- Teams who want their materials and metrics to withstand real investor scrutiny
- Entrepreneurs who want hands-on, real-world readiness support — not theory
