# Fundraising Narrative

## Core Workflow

1. Identify stage, audience, raise goal, company context, market, buyer, product,
   traction, and timing.
2. Separate evidence from ambition: traction, customer proof, market facts,
   product progress, team strengths, and assumptions.
3. Structure the narrative around problem, urgency, insight, solution, market,
   traction, model, moat, team, use of funds, and milestones.
4. Highlight gaps that need evidence before investor use.
5. Draft a concise story and optional outline for deck or memo use.
6. Mark all financial, market, legal, customer, and fundraising claims for
   review.

## Safety Rules

- This is analysis and drafting support only, not legal, tax, investment, or
  financial advice.
- Do not invent traction, market size, customers, revenue, investors, valuation,
  terms, or use-of-funds detail.
- Do not recommend securities terms or fundraising tactics as legal advice.
- Require founder, finance, and counsel review before investor use.

## Deliverable Shape

For fundraising narratives, provide:

- Narrative thesis
- Problem and urgency
- Product and insight
- Market and buyer
- Traction and proof
- Business model and moat
- Team and timing
- Use of funds and milestones
- Evidence gaps and review notes
