03 · Packages
Two packages, run in phases.
For a company preparing a round
Raise Ready
- AStructure. Exit when the structure and term sheet are approved.
- BData room. Exit when the index is complete and the walk-through is done.
- CPresence. Exit when site and deck are live and approved.
- DAI operations, optional. Exit when your team runs investor updates and diligence Q&A with agents.
For investors · Retainer
Fund Ops
- ASetup. Exit when the operations repository, its security guard and the first agent are running.
- BRun. Recurring screening, portfolio support and reporting, reviewed each cycle against the mandate.
04 · Approach
Every engagement runs in phases. Each phase closes on a defined exit criterion, not a calendar.
An exit criterion is a state you can verify: a board-approved structure, an index with no unowned rows, a team running its own agents. When it is met, the phase closes and the next one opens.
