Complete fundraising strategy for B2B SaaS founders. Use when preparing to raise seed/Series A, deciding VC vs bootstrapped path, building pitch deck, running a fundraise process, evaluating term sheets, or planning fundraising timeline. Covers SAFE, priced rounds, and bootstrapper alternatives.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Fundraising Strategy ## Overview Fundraising is selling a piece of your company. The mistake: treating it like a financing event instead of a sales process. You are selling equity in exchange for capital, and like any sale, it has a funnel, close rate, and negotiation. This skill covers the full fundraising motion — deciding whether to raise, building pipeline, running the process, evaluating terms, and closing. ## Authoritative Foundations - **Jason Lemkin (SaaStr).** 3x YoY at seed; burn multiple gates at A/B; VP Sales hiring ~$2M ARR. - **Christoph Janz (Point Nine).** ARR napkin — stage-appropriate growth expectations. - **David Skok.** Unit economics before scale — LTV:CAC, payback. - **Rob Walling (TinySeed).** Bootstrap-first path; raise from strength at $1–2M ARR. - **Brad Feld — Venture Deals.** Term sheet mechanics (not valuation advice). Load `references/vc-milestone-gates.md` for round-by-round metric gates. **Investor diligence:** Present **committed ARR bridge** (not bookings TCV) aligned with `references/saas-mrr-accounting-nuances.md`. Clean books handoff → `references/saas-tax-founder-awareness.md`. …

How to install
mdr add leadmagic/gtm-skills/fundraising-strategy@sha256:215d7d62f77b041cThe line at the top of this page pins the label v1.2.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
