For founders raising a round: pitch, narrative, market, investor updates, and term sheets. — built in-house by Skill Me.
Reach for this when you're a founder running a fundraise and want every artifact investors actually judge you on. Land the cold intro and tell a fundraising story that earns the meeting, size the market defensibly, pressure-test your Series A readiness and data room, and decode the term sheet before you sign - then keep investors close with crisp monthly updates. The end-to-end founder playbook from first outreach to closed round.

Skills in this pack
- Fundraising Narrative — Builds the five-beat narrative spine - origin, insight, wedge, traction, vision - that answers why now, why you, and why this before any deck exists.
- Market Sizing — Builds a defensible TAM/SAM/SOM market-sizing model with bottom-up and top-down triangulation and a low/base/high sensitivity range.
- FP&A Operating Model — Builds a driver-based FP&A operating model linking business inputs to P&L, balance sheet, and cash flow outputs.
- VC Pitch Email — Writes cold investor outreach under 100 words - a subject line built on the company's strongest verifiable metric, a personalized why-them opening line, traction before the ask, and a low-friction meeting request - delivered as three subject options, the email body with word count, and a follow-up line for five days later.
- Series A Readiness — Audits whether a seed-stage company clears the Series A bar - benchmark metrics, narrative, team, and data room - and produces a red/yellow/green readiness scorecard with a 90-day gap-closing plan.
- Term Sheet Explainer — Decodes every clause of a VC term sheet into plain English, marks each term founder-favorable, market-standard, or investor-favorable, and flags deviations in priority order.
- Investor Update Writer — Drafts a monthly or quarterly investor update - TL;DR, consistent metric block (revenue, growth rate, burn, runway), highlights, honest lowlights, a specific ask, and next-period priorities - in a repeatable one-screen format.
