ONBOARDING SPRINT · WEEK ONE

WEEK ONE OF THE RAISE

Onboarding

sprint.

The first week with Paires.

The agreement is signed. The mandate is open. This page is what happens next, who runs it, and what you should expect from us before the raise goes live.

WHAT THE SPRINT IS

A working week of preparation that compresses what most raises take a month to start. By the end of it, your story is written, your investor universe is built, and the strategy is set. No introductions go out before this is done. That is the discipline.

THE SEQUENCE

The four steps.

A working week, run in order. Each step sets up the next, nothing moves before the one before it is done.

Onboarding chat.

Before the first call, you complete the onboarding chat inside the platform. Company, round, timeline, traction, investors you have already spoken to. The chat is the input the rest of the sprint runs on.

FORMAT

In-platform · self-paced

What we ask of you

in the first week.

Complete the onboarding chat before the first call.

Self-paced, inside the platform. The rest of the sprint runs on it.

Two thirty-minute calls with Julian.

The onboarding call, then the pitch feedback call. One sharpens the brief, the other sharpens the story.

A fifteen-minute strategy review with Charles.

You sign off on the universe and the order of outreach before the raise opens.

That is all. Everything else is on us.
