These services are designed for Pre-Seed to Series A founders planning to raise or actively raising $250K–$2M. They’re ideal for founders who want tactical, investor-focused guidance and are ready to execute with clarity and discipline.

The Capital Strategy Session is a one-time 45-minute working session focused on clarity and next steps. The Monthly Fundraising Advisement is ongoing, hands-on support throughout your raise — including narrative refinement, investor targeting, outreach strategy, materials review, and accountability.

You’ll work directly with Steve to clarify your narrative, structure your round, identify target investors, and refine outreach messaging. It’s a focused, tactical session designed to leave you with a clear raise plan and concrete next steps.

No. A deck is helpful but not required. You can come with just your idea, traction, and goals for the raise. Steve will meet you where you are and help guide what needs to be built or refined.

Each month, Steve partners closely with you to focus on the highest-leverage aspects of your fundraise — from sharpening your investor story to structuring your round, building your investor list, refining outreach, reviewing materials, and identifying potential warm introductions.

When there’s a strong fit and the company is at the right stage, yes. Introductions are thoughtful and intentional — not forced. Steve’s goal is to increase your chances of meaningful conversations, not just add names to a list.

No advisor can guarantee funding. What Steve provides is clarity, structure, and execution guidance — the things founders need to significantly improve their odds of a successful raise.

Absolutely. Many founders Steve works with are first-time entrepreneurs. The focus is on helping you understand investor expectations, communicate clearly, and run a disciplined process regardless of background.

Sometimes, but not always. Advisement is independent of investment decisions. If there’s a strong alignment, an investment conversation may happen naturally — but it should never be assumed

Come prepared to share what you’re building, your traction to date, and your fundraising goals. Be open to feedback, ready to execute, and willing to refine your approach based on investor reality.
