Startup Fundraising

Systematic framework for raising capital from pre-seed through growth stages.

Quick Start (Inputs)

Collect these inputs first (ask concise follow-ups if missing):

• Company basics: product, ICP, geo, stage
• Traction: revenue (MRR/ARR), growth, retention/NRR, pipeline
• Financials: runway, burn, gross margin, CAC/payback (if applicable)
• Raise: target amount, instrument (SAFE/note/equity), timeline, use of funds
• Constraints: legal counsel availability, current cap table + SAFEs/notes + option pool

Default Workflow

Use this sequence unless the user request is narrowly scoped:

1. Decide raise vs bootstrap (objectives, timing, capital intensity).
