Before you build a deck or take a single meeting, the strategy has to be settled: how much capital actually moves the business, what milestones the round needs to buy, which kind of investor fits the journey, and whether now is even the right time to raise. Founders who skip this step tend to raise the wrong amount from the wrong people at the wrong moment.
In this sprint we model your runway and milestones, size the raise to the next inflection rather than to a round figure, and map the investor types that match your stage and ambition. We also pressure-test the timing — sometimes the honest answer is to wait a quarter and raise from strength.
You finish with a clear, written fundraising plan you can act on immediately, and a sensible view on whether to run the round yourself or bring in full advisory support. Either way the decisions are made on evidence, not on the pressure of a dwindling bank balance.
