Guides
Step-by-step playbooks.
Each guide walks one phase of the raise end to end — what to do, in what order, and where founders most often stall.
01The raise
How to run a pre-seed raise
The full sequence — from writing the brief to confirming the wire — with the decisions that actually move a round.
02Materials
How to build a pitch deck that gets meetings
The eleven slides investors expect, what belongs on each, and the one that decides the second call.
03Diligence
How to assemble a founder-ready data room
The 38-item seed packet, organised section by section — including the documents founders forget.
04Pipeline
How to source warm introductions
Turn the people you already know into a pipeline of introductions to the funds you actually want.
05Structure
How to structure your round
SAFEs vs priced, caps, discounts & pools — the levers that decide dilution before the term sheet lands.
