Fundraising

Preparation for your next round and introductions to regional and global growth investors.

What to send

A good first pitch.

Ten slides is enough. We care more about clear thinking than polished design.

  • The cross-border problem you solve and who has it
  • Why AI makes this possible now, and how it lowers your cost to serve
  • Traction in your first market: users, revenue or pilots
  • Your second and third markets, and what changes in each
  • Licensing and regulatory considerations
  • Team, round size and how you plan to use the funds
