• Investor Pitch Deck: Architected an institutional-ready deck highlighting the problem, TAM, revenue engine, and use-of-funds roadmap.
• Cap Table Structuring: Modeled dilution thresholds and safe note terms to protect founder equity.
• Investor Pitch Grooming: Hand-held the founders through live angel syndicate question-and-answer preparation.

🎯 Outcome: Successfully secured ₹1.2 Crore angel round within 90 days with clean cap table terms and zero unforced equity dilution.
