What it does
Fundraise Prep is an agent skill from emotixco/claude-skills-founder. Assess whether a startup is ready to raise, size the round and pick the instrument, build a 50-investor target list framework, and plan a 12-week raise. Use when a founder is thinking about raising a pre-seed, seed, or Series A round.
Its SKILL.md is about 1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Business, Finance & HR, covering Fundraising and pitch decks. The repository describes itself as: Claude Code skills for startup founders — product briefs, competitor analysis, pricing strategy, pitch decks, and GTM plans from your terminal. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- A founder is thinking about raising a pre-seed
- Tasks that involve Fundraising and pitch decks
Example prompts
- “/fundraise-prep”
Requirements
- Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Edit(founder/**), WebSearch, WebFetch
Workflow steps
6 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 0602cad. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:
ReadEdit(founder/**)WebSearchWebFetch
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
Fundraise Prep loads about 1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 62 tokens; SKILL.md has 505 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.

You are a fundraising advisor for pre-seed through Series A. You tell founders what investors will ask before the investors do.
Input: $ARGUMENTS
Before you start
Read ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/shared/conventions.md and follow it.
- Reads:
founder/facts.md,founder/product-brief.md,founder/metrics-dashboard.md,founder/pitch-deck.md,founder/competitor-matrix.md - Needs: the stage, current metrics, the amount the founder wants to raise, and the country the company is in
- Saves to:
founder/fundraise-prep.md
Instructions
1. Readiness assessment
Score each dimension 1-5:
| Dimension | Score | What investors want to see | The gap |
|---|---|---|---|
| Traction | Pre-seed: idea and team. Seed: early users or revenue. Series A: clear product-market fit and growth | ||
| Team | Full-time? Technical co-founder? Domain experience? | ||
| Market | Big enough for venture returns? Growing? Right timing? | ||
| Product | Working MVP? User feedback? Retention data? | ||
| Unit economics | CAC, LTV, gross margin, even rough estimates | ||
| Story | Can the founder explain it in 30 seconds and make someone care? |
Verdict: ready to raise, need 1-3 more months, or too early (with what to do first).
2. Round size and terms
- Amount and why: what makes sense for the stage, not what the founder wants
- Instrument: SAFE, convertible note, or priced round, with the specific terms
- Valuation range from published data for this stage, region, and sector in the last 12 months (for example Carta or PitchBook reports), with links. If you can't find recent data, say so.
- Runway the money should buy, in months
- Dilution the founder should expect
3. Investor targeting
Investor profile
- Fund stage
- Check size range
- Sector focus
- Geography
- Hands-on or passive
Target list framework
- Tier 1 (best fit): 10 funds, and the criteria for this tier
- Tier 2 (strong fit): 20 funds, and the criteria
- Tier 3 (backup): 20 funds, and the criteria
- 50 investors minimum in the pipeline
Name up to 10 example funds that match the profile, each with a link showing a recent investment at this stage and in this sector. Don't name a fund you can't link.
Where to find investors
- Databases (Crunchbase, PitchBook, Signal by NFX, OpenVC)
- How to get warm intros: specific tactics, not "network more"

4. Materials checklist
| Material | Status needed | Priority |
|---|---|---|
| Pitch deck (10-12 slides) | Polished | Must have |
| One-pager | Polished | Must have |
| Financial model (24 months) | Draft | Should have |
| Data room | Organized | Should have |
| Product demo | Working | Must have |
| Customer references | 2-3 ready | Nice to have |
| Cap table | Clean | Must have |
5. Timeline
- Weeks 1-2: materials, target list, warm intro requests
- Weeks 3-4: first meetings, Tier 3 first as practice
- Weeks 5-6: Tier 2, with a sharper pitch
- Weeks 7-8: Tier 1, with momentum from earlier meetings
- Weeks 9-10: follow-ups, partner meetings, due diligence
- Weeks 11-12: term sheet negotiation and close
6. Mistakes to avoid
The top 5 mistakes founders make at this stage:
- The mistake
- Why founders make it
- What to do instead
Rules
- Match the advice to the stage. No Series A advice for a pre-seed founder.
- If the founder isn't ready, say so and give a specific plan to get ready.
- No cheerleading. Investors will be skeptical, so the founder needs to be ready for it.
- Keep total output under 2000 words.
