Funding & Pitch

The Funding & Pitch skill helps you prepare everything you need to raise investment — from pitch decks to financial models to investor outreach strategies.

Pitch Deck Creation

The Startup Coach helps you build a compelling pitch deck following proven structures:

• Problem — The pain point you are solving
• Solution — Your product and how it works
• Market — Size, growth, and your target segment
• Business Model — How you make money
• Traction — Metrics, milestones, and social proof
• Team — Why you are the right people to build this
• Financials — Revenue projections and key metrics
• Ask — How much you are raising and what you will do with it

The coach can generate presentation outlines that you can export to PowerPoint using the PPTX skill.

Financial Modeling

Build investor-grade financial models:

• 3-5 year revenue projections with scenario analysis
• Detailed cost breakdowns and hiring plans
• Key SaaS metrics (MRR, ARR, churn, LTV/CAC)
• Funding round modeling (dilution, cap tables)

The coach can generate financial spreadsheets using the XLSX skill.

Investor Research

Get help identifying and approaching investors:

• Types of investors (angel, VC, government grants, accelerators)

• "What should I include in my investor one-pager?"
• "How do I structure a 500K pre-seed round?"
