Investor readiness

Ready before the first meeting.

The pitch deck, the financial model and the documents investors ask for, prepared and rehearsed before you raise.

Planes of grains rise from a dark field and lock into a structure that stands, lit amber.

Where it helps

  • A first raise, and no deck

    The story, the deck and the model, built together.

  • A deck that gets no second meeting

    We find where it loses investors, and fix it.

  • Hard questions you haven't heard yet

    We ask them first, in rehearsal.

  • Documents scattered across email

    One data room with everything they'll ask for.

Example

What we prepare.

  • Small pages of ink grains laid out in a row on paper, each one a slide still being drawn.

    A first raise, sketched on paper1

    Paper sketches of each slide, from the problem to the ask.

How it works

  1. Listen

    We learn the company, how much you want to raise, and who you will ask.

  2. Model

    We build the financial model: revenue, costs and cash, open for an investor to test.

  3. Write

    We write the story and the ask, design the deck and gather the data room.

  4. Rehearse

    We ask you the hard questions first, before any investor does.

Works even better with

Questions

Do you take equity?

There is no set policy on equity yet. Bring it up in a consultation, and we will talk through your case.

We already have a deck. Can you review it?

Yes. We start from the deck you have.

How long does it take, and what does it cost?

We fix the dates together once the scope is agreed. You see the scope and the fee before any work begins.2
