Fundraising runner

Deck Writer

Leads the fundraising desk and assembles the deck.

Finance Modeler

Owns the financial model.

Investor Researcher

Builds the investor list and outreach drafts.

Fundraising desk

The deck writer (lead, owns the narrative, deck, and source of truth), the finance modeler, and the investor researcher running the raise together.

Narrative, deck, model, research, outreach, consistency check, approve

Set the source of truth and narrative, draft the deck, build the model, research investors, draft outreach, consistency-check every number, and hand off for approval.

Investor pipeline & CRM

The editable target-investor list and outreach log the desk maintains: one row per investor with fit, warm path, status, and the dated next step. Fill in your known targets and warm connections; the investor researcher keeps it current as the raise progresses.

yc-pitch-deck

Structure an investor-ready deck on the YC/Sequoia 10–15 slide sequence (problem → solution → why-now → why-you → ask), each slide with its job, stage-specific adjustments (pre-seed/seed/Series A), and a deck quality bar. Adapted from guia-matthieu/clawfu-skills/yc-pitch-deck.

fundraising-narrative

Build the why-now story that anchors a raise: the three-act arc, the five core elements (insight, inevitability, urgency, why-you, opportunity), Reid Hoffman's formula, and how to find a non-obvious, evidence-based insight. Adapted from guia-matthieu/clawfu-skills/fundraising-narrative.

startup-financial-modeling

Build a defensible 3–5 year startup model: cohort-based revenue (MRR/ARR), COGS/S&M/R&D/G&A cost layers, headcount planning, cash-flow and runway, three scenarios (P10/P50/P90), validation sanity checks, and the five common pitfalls. Adapted from wshobson/agents/startup-financial-modeling.

investor-materials

Keep deck, model, one-pager, and applications internally consistent: establish one source of truth, inventory canonical facts, draft with explicit logic, cross-check every number, and clear the red flags and quality gate before any material ships. Adapted from affaan-m/everything-claude-code/investor-materials.

investor-outreach

Draft personalized investor cold emails, warm-intro blurbs, follow-ups, and post-meeting updates: the cold-email structure, the hard bans, personalization that connects to the ask, the day-0/4/10 cadence, and the tight-word-count quality gate. Adapted from affaan-m/everything-claude-code/investor-outreach.

cold-email

Write cold outreach that reads human, not templated: write like a peer, make every sentence earn its place, connect personalization to the problem, lead with their world, use one low-friction ask, and run short follow-up sequences that add a new angle each touch. Adapted from coreyhaines31/marketingskills/cold-email.
