The raise

Raise now, or wait for better numbers?
Get it argued before the first call.

Timing, instrument, valuation, which term sheet to sign. She keeps your metrics on file; a board argues the round on them — The Investor, The CFO, someone assigned the other side — and The Lawyer reads the terms with you.

Example. You write: “$42k MRR, growing 8% a month, 14 months of runway. Two funds want to talk. Raise the seed now, or wait until we hit $60k?” She proposes a board of three — The Investor · The CFO · The Skeptic — on “Raise the seed now, or at $60k MRR?”, about 6–10 minutes, about 95 credits. Nothing runs until you tap.

Raise now or at $60k?

Work · Board of 3

$42k MRR, growing 8% a month, 14 months of runway. Two seed funds reached out. If we wait until $60k MRR — about five months — the round should price better. Raise now or wait?

Timing the round — worth a board. I’d seat The Investor, The CFO and The Skeptic.

The board’s call

Start the conversations now and close in about three months — around $53k MRR, with 11 months of runway left.

Waiting for $60k means raising with nine months of runway, which investors can read as pressure. Starting now lets the growth show up during the process instead of before it.

The Skeptic disagreed

“Two inbound funds isn’t a market. If growth dips to 4% mid-process, you’ll be pitching a slowdown.”

SAFE or a priced round?

Work · One expert

An angel wants to put in $250k on a post-money SAFE at a $6M cap. Another investor prefers a priced round. We’re raising $800k in total. Which?

The Lawyer takes this — what each instrument means for you later.

Asked first

Do you expect to raise a priced seed within 18 months?

YesMaybeNo

The call · The Lawyer

SAFEs for this $800k, all on the same post-money cap — and model the dilution before you sign the first one.

A priced round for $800k costs legal time you don’t need yet. The risk with SAFEs is stacking caps without seeing the total: at a $6M post-money cap, $800k is about 13% before the seed.

What she handles

Your metrics, current.
Your outreach, written.

The numbers investors will ask for, kept on file; the emails to funds written out; the steps dated.

Your metrics, current.

MRR, growth, runway, what each investor offered. Each fact keeps its source, so the number in the deck is the number in Stripe.

The question every fund will ask.

Asked first, by the expert, before anyone else asks it. Being asked is never charged.

The email to the fund, written.

The reply to an inbound fund, the update to angels, the note to your lawyer — as the whole piece.

The round, one step at a time.

Each room ends in one first step with a date. It waits under Open until it’s done.

The experts

The questions investors ask,
asked before they do.

The Investor asks if it can get big, The CFO asks for the month the money runs out, The Lawyer reads the terms, The Visionary tells the story you’ll pitch. They’re AI — not your lawyer of record.

VC Partner

The Investor

I’m not asking if it can work. I’m asking if it can get big, and what it’s worth if it can’t.

Won’t let you: Mistake a good small business for a fundable one, or the reverse.

What people ask before they bring her this kind of call.

Or see pricing · every use case

Can it read a term sheet?

Yes. Attach or paste it and The Lawyer reads it with you — the terms that matter, and what to ask about. The experts are AI, not your lawyer; have one review anything before you sign.

Will it tell me my valuation?

It will argue a range from your numbers and say what it rests on. A board’s confidence drops with dissent and is never rated above 90.

Can I share the memo with my co-founder?

Yes — as a read-only link anyone can open without an account, or as PDF or Markdown.

What does it cost?

Free to start — 150 credits every month + 250 to start. Talking to her is free within a daily allowance. A consult’s card says about 45 credits and a three-seat board’s says about 95 credits; nothing runs until you tap, and you pay for what the room really used.
