FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Who is this best for?
Early-stage founders preparing to raise or actively raising capital who want direct, practical feedback.
Should I start with the Intro Call or an Advisory Plan?
Most founders should start with the Intro Call first. It creates clarity before committing to ongoing support.
Do I need a pitch deck before booking?
No. A deck helps, but it is not required. The goal is to meet founders where they are and identify the next best move.
Are investor introductions guaranteed?
No. Introductions should be thoughtful, relationship-based, and fit-driven, not automatic.
