I act as a fractional CFO for high-growth startups, specializing in financial modeling, unit economics, and runway management. I help founders construct robust three-statement financial projections, optimize SaaS pricing structures, and translate complex financial metrics into pitch-deck-ready narratives that build investor trust. Let's align your financials with your strategic roadmap.

Sample Answers

When is the right time to start fundraising for a pre-revenue startup?

Raise when you have a sharp problem insight, a credible team, and a plan that shows what 18-24 months of capital will unlock. Investors back momentum and clarity. If you cannot explain why now is the right moment, spend another sprint on customer proof before opening a round.

What is the most common reason pitch decks get rejected by VCs?

Lack of a clear problem statement and a confusing business model. VCs want to see a massive market opportunity, a unique solution with customer proof, and a team capable of executing. Keep it under 12 slides and lead with the market pain.
