How to prepare for fundraising: the 90-day investor-readiness sprint
Term sheets are won months before the pitch. Use this checklist to be diligence-ready when capital is ready.
Fundraising is 70 percent preparation. Inside this guide: how to structure your data room, the 11 documents every Indian investor asks for, building a financial model that survives Series A diligence, writing a pitch narrative that compresses 30 minutes of explanation into 12 slides, and how to choose between angels, micro-VCs, and accelerators like Y Combinator, Antler and Sequoia Surge. We also cover government grants (Startup India Seed Fund, BIRAC, MSME) that don't dilute equity.
