Expert Series A Funding Advisory & VC Introductions

Series A is typically for startups that have achieved product-market fit with validated demand. You should have recurring revenue (ideally $100K+ ARR), proven growth metrics, a strong founding team, and a clear path to scale. Most Series A companies have moved beyond the initial MVP stage and are looking to accelerate growth and expand their market presence.

Series A rounds typically range from $2M to $15M, with the median around $8M in 2024. The amount should provide 18-24 months of runway and fund specific growth initiatives like team expansion, marketing, and product development. We help you determine the optimal raise amount based on your growth plan, market opportunity, and investor expectations.

Our systematic approach typically takes 4-8 weeks from preparation to term sheet. This includes 1-2 weeks for investment readiness assessment and preparation, 1 week for VC targeting and research, 2-4 weeks for warm introductions and meetings, and 2-8 weeks for deal management and closing. The timeline can vary based on market conditions and your specific situation.

While we cannot guarantee funding success (no ethical advisor can), we have an 85% success rate from introduction to term sheet. We only work with Series A-ready startups after conducting a thorough investment readiness assessment. Our structured process and extensive VC network significantly increase your chances of success.

We have warm, established relationships with 150+ tier-1 and tier-2 venture capital firms that actively invest in Series A rounds. Our introductions come with context and our endorsement, not cold outreach. We match startups with VCs based on investment thesis, sector focus, check size, and stage preferences, resulting in higher meeting conversion rates.

We completely redesign and optimize your pitch deck based on what VCs want to see in Series A presentations. This includes crafting compelling narratives, highlighting key metrics and traction, addressing market opportunity and competition, and ensuring visual design meets investor standards. We also provide pitch coaching and practice sessions.

We need your current pitch deck, financial model, key metrics and traction data, team backgrounds, competitive landscape analysis, and fundraising objectives. We also review any previous investor feedback and assess your current market position. All information is kept strictly confidential under professional advisory standards.

We analyze 100+ potential VCs and filter based on investment thesis alignment, stage focus (Series A), check size ($2M-$15M), sector specialization, geographic preferences, and portfolio companies. We create a prioritized target list of 20-30 VCs and focus on warm introductions through our network for the highest probability matches.

We help coordinate the due diligence process, prepare documentation, manage investor communications, facilitate reference calls, and support term sheet negotiations. We guide you through common due diligence requests, help address investor concerns, and ensure the process moves efficiently toward successful closing.

We offer three package levels: Essential ($15K), Professional ($35K), and Premium ($65K + 3% success fee). Payment terms are typically 50% upfront and 50% at first VC meeting. The Premium package success fee only applies if funding is successfully raised. We also offer a 30-day satisfaction guarantee on the Essential package.

While we primarily focus on US and Canadian startups, we also work with international companies that are targeting US venture capital markets or have a strong US market presence. Our VC network is concentrated in Silicon Valley, New York, Austin, and other major US tech hubs.

If our investment readiness assessment shows you need more preparation, we provide a detailed roadmap of what needs to be improved before fundraising. This might include achieving specific traction milestones, improving key metrics, or strengthening the team. We can also recommend our pitch deck optimization service to prepare for when you are ready.
