What this skill does
Fundraising Scope Covers Deciding whether to raise venture funding (vs bootstrapping / delaying / alternatives) and articulating the trade-offs Designing a round (amount, timeline, milestone, target investor profile) without pretending to give legal/tax advice Building an investor-ready narrative and a pitch deck outline optimized for first impressions Running the fundraising process as a pipeline (target list, outreach, follow-ups, rejection handling, momentum) Preparing for diligence (data-room checklist + FAQs/objections) and reducing “unknown unknowns” When to use “Should I raise venture capital or bootstrap?” “Help me build a pitch deck narrative and a strong first slide.” “I need an investor outreach plan and a pipeline tracker.” “I’m starting a pre-seed/seed raise; help me run the process end-to-end.” When NOT to use You need legal, tax, or securities advice (term sheets, SAFE/notes, incorporation, compliance) — involve qualified professionals.

You’re in an immediate liquidity crisis where the only viable path is emergency financing within days (this skill can help structure messaging, but you should prioritize urgent financial triage with experts). Inputs Minimum required Company snapshot: what you build, who it’s for, and why now Stage + traction (or pre-traction proof), plus 1–3 key metrics (even proxies) Team snapshot (founders, key strengths, gaps you’re hiring for) Runway + constraints (cash, time, geography, intro network, fundraising window) Fundraising intent: why raise, target amount (or range), and what milestone it buys Missing-info strategy Ask 3–5 questions at a time from references/INTAKE.md. If specifics are missing, proceed with labeled assumptions and ranges (never invent exact numbers). …
