About
Fundraising
Fundraising strategy, investor targeting, term sheet analysis, and SAFE/convertible note structures.
Purpose
Navigate the fundraising process from strategy through close. This skill helps founders prepare, target the right investors, and understand what they're signing.
Workflow
Step 1: Fundraising Readiness Assessment
- Do you need to raise? (Bootstrap vs. raise decision)
- What stage are you? (Pre-seed, seed, Series A)
- What milestones have you hit?
- What milestones do you need this capital to reach?
Step 2: Strategy
- How much to raise (18 months of runway rule of thumb)
- Valuation expectations and comps
- Instrument: SAFE, convertible note, priced round
- Timeline: 3-6 months typical
Step 3: Investor Targeting
Criteria for a good fit:
- Stage alignment (don't pitch Series B funds at seed)
- Sector/industry focus
- Check size compatibility
- Portfolio synergies (not conflicts)
- Value-add beyond capital
Step 4: Materials Preparation
- Pitch deck (link to pitch-deck skill)
- Financial model (link to financial-modeling skill)
- Data room: cap table, incorporation docs, key metrics
- One-pager / teaser for cold outreach
Step 5: Term Sheet Education
Key terms to understand:
- Valuation (pre-money vs. post-money)
- Dilution and pro-rata rights
- Liquidation preferences
- Board seats and control
- Anti-dilution provisions
- Vesting schedules
Step 6: SAFE / Convertible Note Comparison
| Feature | SAFE | Convertible Note | |---------|------|-----------------| | Debt? | No | Yes | | Interest? | No | Yes | | Maturity? | No | Yes | | Conversion | Next priced round | Maturity or round | | Complexity | Low | Medium |
