Managed Raise
Most founders raise once every eighteen months and are expected to be good at it. The people across the table do it every week. This closes that gap: we build the materials, target the right funds, run the process, and prepare you before every call - and when the round closes you keep the machine, not a folder of PDFs.
Engagement
From $7,500 / month
Three-month minimum, month to month after that.
A short call first, always. If we are not the right fit we will say so.
What we actually do
A deck that survives being forwarded without you in the room. A financial model investors can interrogate. A one-pager that earns the meeting.
Drawn from 15,000+ VCs, CVCs, family offices, PE and debt funds - filtered to the ones that genuinely invest at your stage, sector, check size and geography.
Built, gated by access level, watermarked, and instrumented so you can see who is reading what before you walk into the next call.
Your pipeline run week to week. Follow-ups that do not slip. A weekly view of which conversations are real and which are politeness.
Before every investor meeting: who they are, what they have funded, what they will push on, and how to answer it without over-explaining.
What a liquidation preference, a participation right or an option-pool shuffle actually costs you - modelled on your numbers, before you sign.
How it works
A seed round takes about five months on average. We start with three so you are not locked into something before you know whether it is working.
Positioning, deck, model, data room. We rebuild the story from your actual traction rather than dressing up what exists. By the end of week three you have materials you would be happy to send to your first-choice fund.
We build the investor list, sequence it so your best-fit funds are not your practice calls, write the outreach, and map warm paths in. Your pipeline goes live in the platform and the first meetings land.
Weekly pipeline review, prep before every call, data-room activity watched, follow-ups on time, momentum managed toward a first close. You are in every room - we make sure you walk in ready.
The pipeline, the data room and the investor-update cadence stay running on your account. Most founders move to a normal plan and keep the machine going for the next round.
Why this is different
A typical fundraising consultant
Delivers a deck, a spreadsheet and a list of names. When the engagement ends the knowledge leaves with them, and the next round starts from a blank page. Often paid a percentage of what you raise.
Managed Raise
Same work, done inside software you keep. Every investor, every conversation, every document and every question stays in your account after we are done. Flat fee, so our advice is never bent by whether a deal closes.
On how we are paid
Managed Raise is a flat monthly advisory fee. We do not take a percentage of your round, a success fee, a closing bonus, or equity that vests on a financing. We do not solicit investors on your behalf, negotiate your terms, or handle any funds - you run every investor conversation and sign every document. VCTerminal is not a broker-dealer. This keeps your cap table clean and means our advice is never shaped by whether a particular deal closes.
Tell us what you are raising, when, and what you have already built. We will tell you honestly whether this helps.
