VC funds now invest in the best
- You already have sales of your products or services
- Your sales are growing month to month
- Your cash runway is at least 6 months
- You are looking for the next investment round
- You already have a list of target VC funds
If you've answered any of these points negatively - you are in troubles
Why?
Any of these points might become a deal-breaker in your fundraising process - since the beginning of the 2022 VCs around the Globe have frozen most of their investment activities and now invest only in the true champions!
Sales
Without sales you have a really low chance to fundraise - you will get either a small ticket or a small valuation. But there is a really high probability that you will not find investments at all. So to succeed, you need to find a way to launch at least the first sales.
Growth
Basically what investors are looking for is the hockey stick graph of sales. In reality, not so many startups can show it, but the stagnation of negative sales growth definitely will be a dealbreaker. Be sure, that your sales trend is positive and growing, and that you know how to keep it growing.
Runway
You have to have at least 6 months to have a deal with a good valuation. You need around 1-2 months to find relevant funds, 2-3 months to pass due diligence and all legal signatures, and 1 month as a reserve. If you will be in the negotiation of conditions when you don't have money to pay salaries - you will accept any offer.
Relevant VCs
Most VC funds have preferred industries, sweet stage of investment, maximum ticket size, geography etc. You have to make research and address relevant funds not to burn the contact and lose time.
MRR
One of the first filters you have to pass is your MRR. Depending on your stage and the ticket size you are looking for, there are some expectations from VCs. If you are not there, you have to find a way to quickly achieve the goal.
Pitch deck
There is a basic structure of the pitch deck and best practices of the industry. You have to have all communication tools created in a relevant manner and all materials prepared in advance.
We will prepare your startup to fundraise successfully!
It's not about the magic, it's about our know-how and your hard work!

Together, we will generate growth hypotheses and an action plan to achieve your monthly goal. This stage requires from 2 to 5 hours.
- 2AdjustmentsBusiness is about doing. After we identify some issues you have to fix them. We support you via growth coaching methodology, accompanying you on a weekly basis, helping to keep the focus on the strategic things, and accelerating the growth as a positive consequence. This stage might last up to 3 months.
- 3PackagingAfter we adjust the metrics of your business, we have to pack the business to make the right accents on strong points and deliver to VCs what they expect and can consider as the future champion.
