Builds the five-beat narrative spine - origin, insight, wedge, traction, vision - that answers why now, why you, and why this before any deck exists. Use when a founder says "help me craft my fundraising story", "investors don't get what we do", "what's our narrative for this round", or has metrics and a product but no story that survives a partner meeting. Do NOT use for turning the story into slides - use pitch-deck-builder instead; do NOT use for deciding stage, amount, or valuation - use…
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 Narrative Investors back conviction before they back numbers, and conviction comes from a story with a spine. The costly mistake this skill prevents is building the deck first: founders who start in slides end up with twenty loosely related pages and no answer to the three questions every partner meeting silently asks - why now, why you, why this. Build the narrative memo first; the deck is rendered from it, never the reverse. ## Operating procedure Order matters: raw material before drafting, drafting before tightening, tightening before any slide exists. 1. Gather the inputs below. Do not draft on assumptions about traction or stage. 2. Interview the founder for raw material.

How to install
mdr add skillmedev/skills/fundraising-narrative@sha256:4e7e5275009ddff9The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261005.bea4ea5, 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.
