Terms of Engagement
1
Capital Integrity Review
$20,000
WHO THIS IS For:
For builders with existing materials who need an investor-side diagnostic, refinement, and diligence readiness.
Overview:
An investor-first review that pressure-tests materials against underwriting standards. The output is a redlined, market-aligned package that corrects structural, financial, and positioning defects.
What’s Included:
- Investor-grade audit of deck, budget top sheet, pro forma, and cap table for credibility and coherence
- Business model validation and capital stack sanity check for fit, sequencing, and use of instruments
- Budget audit with use-of-funds reconciliation, contingency review, and ATL/BTL ratio assessment
- Waterfall and return modeling review with scenario and sensitivity checks
- Market positioning and comparables analysis, reframed to pass real capital filters
- Outreach sequencing and investor approach, with meeting narrative and objection handling
- Data room checklist and diligence artifacts guidance
- Introductions to vetted investors, if the project qualifies and aligns
Why This Tier Exists:
You are close, but not investable yet. This tier identifies and removes the blockers that keep capital from engaging: inconsistent financial logic, unclear risk, and misaligned positioning.
Timeline: 3–4 weeks
2
Capital Structure Finalization
$25,000
Who this is For:
Projects with visible momentum but inconsistent materials across deck, budget, model, and offer terms. If interest is not converting, this tier aligns the structure to the standards of real capital.
Overview:
A conversion-focused rebuild that resolves structural shortfalls. We finalize the capital stack, correct cash-flow timing, tune risk mitigations, and recalibrate the ask so the package reads cleanly to analysts, partners, and investment committees.
What’s Included:
- All deliverables from Capital Integrity Review
- Integrated operating model with cash timing, incentive monetization, and scenario analysis
- Sources and uses finalization with instrument fit, seniority, and collateral alignment
- Budget recalibration, use-of-funds reconciliation, and contingency policy
- Waterfall and recoupment order harmonization with investor yield targets
- Market positioning refresh with defensible comparable set and outcome framing
- Offer architecture: ask size, security, covenants, oversight, and step-in mechanics
- Valuation and pricing logic for equity participation and profit corridor design
- Investor brief and IC-ready memo distilled to thesis, risks, and mitigations
- Meeting narrative, objection handling, and term-sheet negotiation prep
- Targeted capital partner map and sequencing plan
- Introductions to vetted investors if the package clears the internal bar
Why This Tier Exists:
“Interest without close” is a structural signal. This tier eliminates the inconsistencies that stall decisions, completes the missing pieces in the stack, and equips you to enter the room with a package that can be advanced, not debated.

Who this is For:
Founders with high-potential concepts who need ground-up venture definition, operating and financial architecture, and investor-calibrated packaging. Appropriate when a raw idea must be translated into an underwriteable thesis and execution plan.

Notes for All Tiers
THIS IS NOT A FREE SERVICE:
-
If you’re here solely to “find capital,” this isn’t for yoU!
-
I don’t service passion plays or optimism posing as a plan.
-
I work with operators who can defend their numbers, outline execution, and meet professional standards.
-
If you’re testing the waters or hoping someone else will connect the dots, this isn’t the fit - show up with initiative and accountability.
-
My work is applied and operator-grade: structure, economics, and decision materials that withstand diligence and move through committee review.
-
Business is earned, not assumed.
Here’s what that means:
-
Timelines are driven by input completeness and client responsiveness.
-
Capital outcomes are never promised or guaranteed; advancement depends on market readiness and investor acceptance.
-
These are paid advisory engagements - not partnerships, co-productions, or speculative arrangements.
-
Fees price senior expertise, diligence-grade work product, and the operating cadence required for capital processes.
-
Deliverables are engineered to investor standards: underwriting logic, competitive positioning, and financial viability.
Why I Never Work on Commission, Backend, or Equity:
-
Only FINRA-registered broker-dealers may receive transaction-based compensation or percentage-of-raise commissions for capital raising in the United States
-
Unlicensed individuals are prohibited from accepting any transaction-based compensation, backend fee, or equity as compensation for raising capital
-
Equity, warrants, or profit participation in exchange for fundraising or introductions is classified as transaction-based compensation and requires broker-dealer registration
-
All work is direct, paid up front, and compliant with SEC and FINRA regulations
-
No exceptions, no commission, no backend, no equity
