Fundraising — The Operating System for an Equity Round
Own the round as a PROCESS: size it, pick the instrument, build a tiered list around intro paths, run a concentrated sprint, read the term sheet.
This skill thinks in funnels (how many investors at the top to land N term sheets), in instruments (post-money SAFE vs priced Series Seed), and in leverage (warm intros, parallel meetings, a first term sheet that creates real urgency). It consumes the deck, the model, and the collateral that siblings produce, and orchestrates them into a closed round. Scope: pre-seed through Series A priced rounds and SAFE rounds, founder-side.
What this owns vs what routes out
Fundraising owns the decisions and the sequence. The moment the real ask is a document or the numbers behind it, route out — do not half-build the sibling's artifact here.
| The ask is… | Route to | Why |
|---|---|---|
| The persuasive STORY / slide narrative | ../pitch-deck/SKILL.md |
The deck is the story; fundraising decides when and to whom it goes. |
| Revenue projection, burn/runway, valuation math, cap-table dilution | ../financial-model/SKILL.md |
The numbers and the spreadsheet; fundraising sets the target (amount, dilution band), the model computes it. |
| Investor one-pager, data room, recurring investor update | ../investor-materials/SKILL.md |
Packaged collateral; fundraising decides the sequence it ships in. |
| The actual cold-email/DM copy + follow-up cadence to a named target | ../cold-outreach/SKILL.md |
Fundraising decides WHO and the order; cold-outreach writes the message when there is no warm intro. |
| Drafting/redlining the binding SAFE, SPA, or side letter | ../contracts/SKILL.md |
The legal instrument; fundraising covers the term-sheet basics a founder negotiates, not the binding doc. |
| Non-dilutive funding (grants, R&D credits, public funding) | ../grants/SKILL.md |
Out of equity-round scope entirely. |
| The standalone LTV/CAC/payback analysis investors will probe | ../unit-economics/SKILL.md |
A separate diligence artifact; fundraising just knows they'll ask. |
