From our Substack
Work through your next fundraising question
Read the latest published memos, then use the tools and worked cases to apply the ideas to your own raise. Our existing fundraising library remains available below and through Learn.
New editions will appear here after they publish on Substack. While you wait, explore the fundraising library and worked cases.
Clear reasoning. Useful next steps.
You can inspect the assumptions behind a calculation and keep the evidence beside the claim it supports. Review suggestions help you identify work to do before a conversation; they cannot predict an investor’s decision.
How the tools work →The memo between meetings.
Each edition works through a fundraising question with a concrete example and an exercise you can use in your own raise, from explaining the funding target to preparing the next investor follow-up.
