The Raise-Ready Checklist

Preview of The Raise-Ready Checklist

what's inside

  • The minimum model, six pieces that have to agree with each other (driver-based P&L by channel with nCAC and payback, cash runway, unit economics, actuals tied to your books, cohorts, landed COGS)
  • The deck story, down to one problem and one entry point, with use of funds written as milestones
  • The 20 questions investors ask, and what a good answer has in it
  • A week-by-week 30-day plan, books first and deck third
  • The two formulas the whole thing runs on

Who it's for: Founders of early-stage CPG, wellness and supplement brands getting ready for a $1-2M pre-seed or seed round.

"For the first time, I felt like I had clarity on our numbers and that changed everything."

Meghan, COO/Co-Founder, Tallow Twins
