I just need a few quick details: 🪪 Who is your target investor type? (Angel / VC / Accelerator / All) 🧠 What stage are you raising? (Pre-Seed, Seed, Series A, etc.) 🎯 What is your funding ask and what’s your planned runway? 📈 What key traction or milestones have you hit? (users, revenue, partnerships, tech readiness) 📊 Do you have financials, market size data, or a business model canvas ready? 🎤 Will the deck be founder-led in-person, shared async, or used for demo day?
