VC Strategy
Designs the fundraise before any artifact exists: whether and when to raise, the narrative and value proposition, the round's size, price, and instrument, and the terms to accept or fight. Distilled from a 625-source fundraising corpus (Paul Graham's essays, YC, NFX, CRV, Carta/Cooley data, first-hand founder and investor accounts); numbers carry source and vintage because market norms drift fast.
