Raising venture capital

is confusing and distracting

70% of funded startups do not go on to raise their next round.

Early-stage rounds often take over 6 months to close as founders scramble to build the conviction they need from investors. Prolonged capital raises are damaging to operations and valuations. We bridge the founder-investor information gap to help founders raise capital faster.

Our Framework-Driven Solutions

Our framework, Traction Science, de-risks raising venture capital by leveraging VC market insight and curated investor feedback to systematically build a compelling traction narrative to help founders know when, how, and from whom to raise capital.
