I'll help you with the deck.
I'll help you with the data room.
Let's do a few mock pitches with people on my team.
I will make introductions to every single top GP that's the relevant partner at every single one of these venture capital firms for your company.
We'll line up all of these meetings over a three-day window next week.
And at the end of every single day, I will check in with all of them and I will get feedback and I'll find out what's resonating, what's not resonating and who's truly interested versus who's not interested.
And we'll keep the process going.
We'll keep it tight.
We'll keep it efficient and we won't have any information leaks.
And then we'll try to get you the best deal possible.
But ultimately, what the best deal possible is what I ultimately try to do is get as much leverage for my founders as possible.
Leverage comes in the form of term sheets.
The more term sheets they have, the more negotiating power they have.
Everybody wants negotiating power and making a good deal for themselves and for their company and for their existing shareholders.
When you don't have leverage, you will sell 25% of your company at Series A to whoever gives you the term sheet you want to work with.
When you do have leverage, you can get that down dramatically.
What I thought could be the number one value additive thing that I could do for my companies is make sure that by the time they exit, they own more of their company than they would have had I not been on the cap table.
Now we have data that not only do we have the highest graduation rate from seed to series A, we also have the highest decile of average valuation of series A and the lowest average dilution in the series A. We can basically make your company have way better access to lower cost capital in the future from the highest quality partners.
I had one of my founders do a reference with another founder saying that the likelihood that you own 10% more of your company at exit is 10x higher with abstract on your cap table than not.
Because if I can save you 5% at the A and 3% at the B and 2% at the C, these things tend to add up nicely.
