Fundraising Advisory for Pre-Seed & Seed Founders
From pitch deck to investor meetings—without the guesswork.
Last updated: February 2026
I'm Vicki.
I help pre-seed and seed startup founders craft a VC-ready pitch deck, tighten their fundraising narrative,
and build an investor outreach strategy that earns replies.
If investors are passing, ghosting, or “circling back,” your story and targeting usually need a reset.

FAQs
How is this different from other pitch deck consultants?
I was a VC Principal for 7 years at a $400M fund. I've sat on the other side of the table and reviewed thousands of decks. I don't just make slides pretty—I architect the story VCs need to hear to write a check. Plus, I get you pitch-ready with scripts, targeting, and warm intros (where aligned).
What if I don't have a deck yet?
Start with the VC Ready Workshop to get all the basics in 2 hours.
Can you guarantee I'll raise money?
No one can guarantee funding outcomes—there are too many variables (market timing, team execution, investor appetite). What I can promise: your deck will be VC-ready, your targeting will be precise, and you'll have the tools to run an effective fundraise. My clients have raised $17M+ and earned 5 YC/Techstars admits using this system.
Do you offer warm introductions to VCs?
Yes, where there's alignment. I have direct relationships with several VCs and know most firms investing in women-led companies. If your stage, sector, and traction fit their thesis, I'll make intros. But my primary value is getting your deck and pitch ready so ANY VC conversation converts.
What stage companies do you work with?
Pre-seed and seed stage, industry agnostic. Typically pre-revenue or early traction ($0-500K ARR). Team size doesn't matter—I've worked with solo founders and teams of 5.
What if I've already been pitching and getting rejections?
Perfect. That means you have feedback to incorporate. Sign up for a Narrative Lock Sprint and I'll tell you exactly why VCs are passing—and how to fix it.
Can I pay in installments?
Yes, for BUILD and VIP. 50% upfront, 50% at delivery. Email me to arrange.
What if I'm not happy with the work?
I've done 4,000+ deck reviews and 4 out of 5 of my clients get funding or get acquired. If you follow the process and don't see improvement in meeting quality within 30 days, I'll work with you until you do (additional revisions included for BUILD and VIP clients).
Ready to Get Funded?
You've spent months (maybe years) nurturing your idea or building your company.
Don't let a broken deck keep you from the capital you need to scale.
