What it does

Fundraising And Investor Relations is an agent skill from cbrock84/headcount. Raises capital and manages the relationship afterward — deciding how much and why, understanding what dilution and preferences actually cost, running a process with real competitive tension, preparing for diligence before it starts, and reporting to investors and a board in a way that keeps support when results are bad. Use this to plan a raise, evaluate a term sheet beyond the valuation, prepare a data room, or fix reporting that is producing surprises.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/sources.md`).

It sits in Business, Finance & HR, covering Fundraising and pitch decks. The repository describes itself as: An agent organization structured as a company — 15+ departments, 125+ skills, each independently installable, citing the standards and regulators that settle the question. Runs… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Fundraising and pitch decks

Example prompts

  • “Use the fundraising-and-investor-relations skill to raise capital and manages the relationship afterward — deciding how much and why, understanding…”
  • “/fundraising-and-investor-relations”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 98d1c17. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Fundraising And Investor Relations loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.9k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 123 tokens; SKILL.md has 788 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~123
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.4k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.9k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Raises capital and manages the relationship afterward — deciding how much and why, understanding what dilution and preferences actually cost, running a process with real competitive tension, preparing for diligence before it starts, and reporting to investors and a board in a way that keeps support when results are bad. Use this to plan a raise, evaluate a term sheet beyond the valuation, prepare a data room, or fix reporting that is producing surprises.

Fundraising and investor relations

Capital is bought, not received, and the terms matter more than the headline number. So does what happens for the years afterward, which is where most of the relationship actually lives.

Financing terms have legal and tax consequences that vary by structure and jurisdiction. Get qualified counsel and your accountant on any instrument before signing.

Decide the amount from the plan, not from the market

Raise against what the money buys: the milestones that will make the next raise possible, plus enough runway to reach them and to be wrong once. Working back from milestones gives a number you can defend and a story that connects the raise to the outcome.

Raising more than the plan needs is not free — it costs dilution now and sets a valuation you have to grow into. Raising too little is worse, because running out mid-plan is the weakest possible negotiating position and everyone on the other side of the table knows it.

Understand what the terms cost, because valuation is the least of them

A high valuation with punishing terms is worse than a lower one with clean terms, and founders routinely trade the second for the first because only the first is quotable.

  • Liquidation preference determines who gets paid first and how much before common shares see anything. A participating preference or a multiple can mean an apparently good exit returns little to founders and staff.
  • Anti-dilution decides what happens if the next round is lower. The broader forms can shift ownership substantially in exactly the circumstances where you can least afford it.
  • Board composition and protective provisions determine what you can do without asking. This is control, and it is permanent in a way valuation is not.
  • Option pool sizing placed before the investment dilutes existing holders only. Where the pool sits in the calculation is a real price negotiation dressed as an administrative detail.

Model the outcome at several exit values, not just the good one. The terms that matter most only express themselves in the mediocre cases, which are the most likely ones.

Run a process, because tension is what produces terms

A raise conducted sequentially with one interested party is a negotiation with one side. Run conversations in parallel on a compressed timeline so that decisions land close together.

Prepare before starting. A process that stalls while you assemble materials loses its momentum, and momentum is most of what you are manufacturing.

Assemble diligence before you need it

Cap table and every instrument that affects it, signed contracts, employment and contractor agreements with their IP assignments, financial statements and the model behind them, key metrics with their definitions, and the corporate record.

Diligence surfaces the things nobody dealt with earlier — a missing assignment from a contractor, an unsigned amendment, a metric defined differently in two places. Each is small alone and each costs time at the worst moment. Fix them before the process, not during it.

Never present a metric to investors that is defined differently from how you report it internally. That inconsistency is found, and it costs credibility disproportionately.

Report on a rhythm, and report the bad news first

Investor relationships are managed between raises. A regular update — monthly or quarterly, short, consistent in format — costs an hour and buys enormous latitude when something goes wrong.

Surprise is the thing that damages the relationship, not bad results. An investor told early about a problem is a resource; the same investor told late is a governance issue. Lead with what is not working, what you are doing, and what you need.

Ask for specific help. "Let us know if you can help" produces nothing; a named introduction or a specific question produces something.

The board is a different audience from investors

Board material goes out days ahead and is read before the meeting, so the meeting is for decisions rather than presentation. Bring the real questions, including the ones you do not have answers to — a board only shown finished thinking cannot help with anything and eventually stops trying.

Sources

references/sources.md in this skill lists the outside authorities that settle the questions here — what each one is authoritative for, and what you may do with it. Check them before answering on anything they cover, and cite what you used. Most are free to read and not free to reproduce; the use note on each is binding.

Never

  • Optimize a term sheet on valuation without modeling the preference stack at mediocre exits.
  • Start a process before the data room would survive being opened.
  • Present a metric to investors under a definition you do not use internally.
  • Let an investor learn about a material problem after it is already resolved or already worse.
