“Help me build a targeted investor list for my [seed / Series A] raise. My company: [one sentence]. Stage and traction: [describe — MRR, growth rate, team size, key customers]. Raise size: [amount]. Ideal investor profile: [describe — check size, stage, sector, geography]. Define: (1) The 5 characteristics of an ideal investor for this round — beyond just stage and check size, (2) The portfolio signals that would tell me an investor is a strong fit for my category, (3) A research framework for identifying 30–40 target investors using Crunchbase, their firm websites, and recent portfolio announcements, (4) A scoring rubric (1–3 on each dimension) I can use to prioritise outreach. I want to focus my time on the 20 highest-fit investors, not spray 100.”

“Write a cold outreach email to a [seed / Series A] investor at [fund name]. My company: [one sentence]. My strongest traction metric: [specific number]. Why this investor specifically: [their portfolio company or thesis signal that fits my company]. My ask: 20-minute call. Requirements: under 5 sentences, subject line includes the key metric, no buzzwords, direct and respectful of their time, sounds like a founder who’s done their research. Write 3 variations: one that leads with traction, one that leads with the problem, one that leads with the market timing. Include 2 subject line options per variation.”

“Help me build the narrative arc for my fundraising pitch. My company: [describe product and market]. Why now: [what’s changed in the market that makes this the right time]. Traction: [describe key metrics]. Team: [describe relevant background]. Use of funds: [describe what the raise buys in specific milestones]. Build: (1) A 3-sentence company story — problem, solution, traction — that I can use to open every investor meeting, (2) The ‘why now’ argument — the specific market dynamics, technology shifts, or regulatory changes that make this moment uniquely right, (3) The 3 milestones this raise buys and what each one proves, (4) The vision sentence — where does this company go in 5 years if the Series A succeeds? Make it specific enough to be compelling, not so large it’s unbelievable.”

“Prepare me for the hardest questions I’ll face in [seed / Series A] investor meetings. My company: [describe]. My weakest metrics or areas: [be honest — e.g. high churn, small team, crowded market, no defensible moat yet]. For each of these 5 questions, write an honest, direct answer that acknowledges the challenge and explains what I’m doing about it: (1) Why isn’t this growing faster? (2) What happens if [major competitor] copies this? (3) Why are you the right team for this? (4) What’s your path to defensibility? (5) [The question you’re most dreading — tell me what it is]. I want answers that are honest, not spin. Investors can tell the difference.”

“Write a monthly investor update. Audience: [seed / Series A] investors and advisors. Data: MRR [amount], MoM growth [%], churn [%], new customers this month [number], burn [amount], runway [months]. Top 3 things that happened this month: [list]. Top 2 challenges: [list — be honest]. What I need help with: [specific ask — intros, advice, etc.]. Write it in under 300 words with: a one-paragraph summary, a metrics table, a wins section, a challenges section, and a specific help request. Tone: direct, honest, confident. No spin. If a metric is down, say it clearly and explain why.”

“Write a fundraising one-pager for my [seed / Series A] raise. Include: company name and one-line description, the problem (2 sentences, specific and painful), the solution (2 sentences, specific), traction (key metrics only — the 3–4 numbers that tell the story), market size (TAM/SAM with source), business model (how we make money), team (founder names + 1 relevant credential each), raise (amount, use of funds in 3 bullet points, and the milestone each achieves). Format as a clean one-page document. No buzzwords. Every claim supported by a number where possible. Write it as if a partner at a VC is reading it for 60 seconds before deciding whether to take a meeting.”

“I’ve received a term sheet. Key terms: valuation [pre-money], investment [amount], liquidation preference [1x non-participating / participating / other], pro-rata rights [yes/no], board seats [describe], anti-dilution [broad-based weighted average / full ratchet], founder vesting [describe]. Help me: (1) Identify which terms are standard vs non-standard for a [seed / Series A] at my stage, (2) Identify the 2–3 terms I should push back on and the specific ask for each, (3) Write a response email that acknowledges the term sheet positively, raises my 2–3 asks specifically, and signals I’m serious about closing. Be direct — I don’t want to leave value on the table but I also don’t want to kill the deal over standard terms.”

“Act as a skeptical Series A investor. Here is my pitch: [paste your narrative, key metrics, and use of funds]. Push back hard: (1) What’s the weakest part of this story — the claim most likely to fall apart under scrutiny, (2) What assumption am I making that I haven’t validated and probably should, (3) If you were going to pass on this deal, what would you tell the founder as the reason — be specific, not generic, (4) What would need to be true for you to write the check — what’s missing from this story that would make it compelling? Be honest. The goal is to find the holes before an investor does.”
