Preparing for a fundraising round but lack clarity on your deck, business model, or investor strategy?
I support early-stage startups (pre-seed to Series A) in their Investor Readiness: from pitch deck to business plan, including VC approach strategy.
Former VC analyst at Planet A Ventures (Berlin) and first European employee at Fronterra, I have structured fundraising rounds from €600k to $30M, and helped founders turn their vision into an investable package.
🚀 Offering: Investor Readiness Pack – deck, model, VC strategy
📊 Specialization: Climate Tech, SaaS, Deeptech, Sport & Mobility
What I offer:
- Fundraising: work on the pitch deck, storytelling, and investor materials
- Financial Modeling & KPIs: business plan, P&L, cash flow, runway, unit economics, LTV/CAC
- Due Diligence Preparation: investor questions, model stress testing, Cap Table & dilution
- Market & Competition Analysis: TAM/SAM/SOM, benchmark, clear positioning
- Investor Outreach Strategy: identification and prioritization of VCs, business angels, and family offices
My working method:
I bring both an analytical and a practical perspective.
I don't just "fix your slides" – I challenge you as an investor would, with kindness and rigor.
My engagements are short (1 to 4 weeks), concrete, and adapted to the budget realities of young companies.
Why me:
I have analyzed several hundred startup dossiers and participated in seed and Series A investments (climate tech, deeptech, SaaS).
My academic and professional background allows me to have a network of active investors in Europe and internationally.
I understand the concrete challenges of fundraising when you are "on the other side".
Specialization: climate tech, SaaS, deeptech.
