💰 Raise — Fundraising Deck & Strategic NarrativeNicolas Cramer
Startup fundraising is hard—especially these days. It’s even harder when you don't have a compelling story or effective visuals to help investors answer a few critical questions:
Why this?
Why you?
Why now?
I can be your VC / angel fundraising sherpa so you can tell a compelling story, with compelling visuals, to close your fundraise and get back to building your business.
What's included
Strategic Narrative
A concise but compelling story about your company to motivate your team, attract customers, incentivize investors, and guide product development.
Deck Creative System
A system of presentation slide templates in your tool of choice {Figma, Keynote, Pitch, etc.}, using your brand guidelines (or lack thereof), so you can make effective slides on the fly.
Deck & Outreach Deliverables
A fundraising meeting deck that tells your strategic narrative using your new presentation design system. Also, the abridged send ahead and/or leave behind variants of your master deck, forwardable email template, and elevator pitch variants
[Optional] Investor Funnel Template
An investor funnel in Notion (or Google Sheets), pre-populated with investor ideas based on your company and fundraise.
FAQs
Fair question. I’ve designed pitch decks which have helped raise 8 figures of venture capital and helped companies get acquired by strategic partners.
With over a decade working in venture-backed startups, I’ve stumbled into a unique combination of:
1. Pitching for venture capital
2. Distilling high-level strategy and story
3. Designing effective presentation visuals
And I've worked with enough companies as an advisor now that I'm realizing this can be a potent combination for founders.
No refunds I'm afraid. As much as I like having skin in the game, it'll be on you to use the materials to go close your round. But if you find after working together on our strategic narrative phase that we aren't simpatico, then we can call it there before design work starts.
I conservatively estimate ~4 weeks, but really that's up to you. Arriving at a strategic narrative and creative direction is the amorphous part and will depend on number of revisions, collaboration, and speed of scheduling and feedback loops.
Absolutely. Send me a note and I'll share the deck I used to raise for my most recent startup.
