Fundraising as a Service – Flexible, Hourly Support

Expert support to streamline your fundraising process—so you stay in control and move faster.

You can book my expertise by the hour to support your fundraising efforts. Not an Agency – I’m not a matchmaker-for-hire, nor do I rely on success-based fees. There are no hidden agendas.

I help behind the scenes with:

✅ Fundraising Strategy & Outreach

• Developing a tailored fundraising strategy

• Creating an effective investor funnel

• Drafting outreach strategies and investor emails (for you to send)

• Implementing tools like a CRM for outreach tracking

✅ Investor Materials & Preparation

• Refining your pitch deck and business plan

• Setting up an investor data room

• Assessing your current fundraising position

• Preparing you for investor meetings, including Q&A sessions

✅ Investor Relations & Coordination

• Providing follow-up strategies and tracking interactions

• Setting up an investor relations process

• Managing and optimizing your cap table

• Preparing and coordinating investor roadshows

• Organizing and planning annual shareholder meetings

Important: I do not contact investors for you—I prepare everything so you can confidently connect with them.

The exact services are tailored to your startup’s needs.

Investor Research – Quality Over Quantity

I don’t create generic, purchased lists. Instead, I analyze your specific vertical and fundraising strategy to identify the most relevant investors for your startup. My focus is on quality, not quantity, ensuring you target the right investors—not just any investors.

Important: I provide the research, but it’s your job to contact them.

Pitch Deck Analysis – Clear, Concise, and Investor-Ready

I evaluate your pitch deck using proven analytical methods, focusing on completeness, structure, readability, and clarity. I ensure your core messages are sharp and compelling, so investors grasp your startup’s value within seconds. My priority? Simplicity and clarity.

The first impression is crucial, especially when it comes to fundraising matters. I ensure that your pitch presentations are conducted at a professional level. Drawing on my extensive experience with hundreds of pitches, I offer professional pitch training. Together, we identify and address common pitfalls while optimizing how your startup is presented during a pitch. The training can be a one-time session or conducted regularly (weekly/monthly), including reviews of pitches you’ve already delivered.

No, this is not a service I offer. Here’s why:

As a founder, you need to be in control of your startup and its fundraising process. It’s essential that you handle investor outreach yourself—this is not something I do for you.

However, I act as your fundraising assistant, helping you prepare and organize everything behind the scenes. For example, I can draft your emails, LinkedIn messages, or any other outreach materials you need. I can also help you track your outreach efforts. But the actual contact with investors? That’s your job, not mine.

Think of me as your private fundraising assistant—I guide and support you, but I don’t interact with investors on your behalf. And the best part? After just a few sessions with me, you’ll have the confidence and tools to handle fundraising on your own.

I’m here to empower you, not replace you. You’ve got this, and I’ll be your wingman every step of the way.

I´m your Fundraising Wingman!

Let’s set the record straight: You are the key driver in this process. As the founder, raising capital is your responsibility—it's part of your role.

My job? I’m here as your trusted partner in the fundraising journey. I provide the tools, strategies, and insights to help you secure the funding you need, but ultimately, the success rests in your hands.

Here’s what you can expect:

• Not an Agency – I’m not a matchmaker-for-hire, nor do I rely on success-based fees. There are no hidden agendas.

• Founder First – You are the one in control, and I’m here to support you in navigating this journey with confidence and expertise.

• No More Dependency – My goal is to help you succeed independently, so you can secure your next round on your own terms–without me!

Let’s get to work. I’ll help you refine your pitch, guide you through the investor landscape, and that you walk away with the skills to make future fundraising efforts your strength.
