Welcome!

This toolkit is for founders and their teams running their early-stage rounds, from friends and family, and pre-seed to Series A. There is a lot to do. Raises are typically a full-time job for one founder for 3-6 months. Raises get easier as you progress (if you have growth), but you can still save a lot of time by doing it the easy way.

<aside> 💡 Goal #1. Reduce the time that it takes you to raise by at least 50%. So if it was going to take you 12 months, it will take you 6 months. Or if it was going to take you 3 months, it will take you 1.5 months.

<aside> 💡 Goal #2. Increase your chances of getting better investors.
