I help pre-seed and seed founders improve their pitch deck and structure investor outreach - through written analysis, investor research and defined project scopes.
Three focused engagements. Each one ends in a written deliverable, outlined below, so you know what you’re commissioning before the work starts.
For founders about to raise: a structured review of your deck, narrative and materials, with priority fixes before you start outreach. Doesn’t include the outreach itself.

For founders who need a target list: a sourced and ranked investor shortlist matched to stage, sector and geography. Depending on scope, it can also include a simple CRM structure and an outreach sequence you run yourself.
You getInvestor shortlist
A secondary service for early-stage funds and startup teams that need a sourced view of a market, sector or investor landscape. The output is a structured memo or research database with sources, assumptions, risks and open questions - not legal, financial or investment advice.

The deck, the investor list and the outreach sequence are often built separately and rushed before the first call. That leaves gaps: unclear positioning, an investor list that doesn’t match stage or sector and a narrative that shifts between meetings.
A short, focused review fixes the parts that compound: a specific problem statement, a defensible market angle, a credible plan for the next 18 months and an investor list matched to your stage and sector.
Most founders don’t need a full advisor. They need one focused pass on a specific part of the fundraise. The process is short, written and scoped.
A 30-minute conversation about the round you're trying to run, your current materials and where you feel stuck. Free, no commitment.
Within 48 hours I send a brief fit-and-scope note - the main issue I see, the engagement I'd recommend and the proposed deliverable. Detailed deck or investor analysis begins after the engagement is confirmed.
We work in 1-3 week cycles on a defined scope: deck rewrite, investor list, narrative session or research project. Defined deliverable, fixed fee agreed before work begins.
I study Industrial Engineering and Management at TU Berlin and have worked across venture research, data engineering and startup analysis. At Innovis VC, a student-run venture initiative in Berlin, I evaluated early-stage companies and contributed to market and investor research. At 5V Strategy, I worked on data and engineering projects. I use that combination to review fundraising materials systematically rather than relying only on subjective feedback.

Written diagnostics, ranked investor shortlists and research memos.
Pre-seed and seed founders, typically before or during their first institutional funding round. I occasionally work with Series A founders preparing a follow-on fundraising process.
Fixed fee per scope, agreed up front in the diagnostic note. No retainers, no hourly billing, no equity. Most engagements are between €1,500 and €6,000 depending on scope.
No. The engagement is deliberately short and contractual. Equity creates incentives misaligned with a one-pass review.
No and you should be skeptical of anyone who does. What I can guarantee is a better-prepared fundraising process, a tighter narrative and structured outreach.
Yes, mutual NDAs are standard before sharing materials. A short template is available on request.
