Investor Outreach & Fundraising Consultant for B2B Nutraceutical Ingredient Startup

Project Overview I am the founder of Logical Square, a Houston-based B2B nutraceutical ingredient company developing branded botanical extracts for dietary supplement brands and manufacturers. We already have a pitch deck, but I need an experienced fundraising professional to help me from scratch with investor outreach in the US until we secure funding. I am new to investor outreach and do not have a personal investor network in the US, so I need someone who can guide strategy, build the target investor list, draft outreach messages, manage follow-up, and help me move toward investor meetings. Scope of Work The freelancer should be able to help with: • Reviewing my existing pitch deck and investor messaging. • Defining the right fundraising strategy for an early-stage B2B nutraceutical company. • Building a targeted list of relevant US investors, angels, family offices, and possibly industry-aligned funds. • Crafting personalized outreach emails and follow-up sequences. • Organizing and tracking outreach in a simple CRM or spreadsheet. • Helping me prepare for investor calls and follow-up questions. • Advising on best practices for fundraising communication and investor relations. Ideal Candidate I am looking for someone who has: • Experience with startup fundraising or investor outreach. • Strong knowledge of US investor targeting and cold outreach. • Excellent written communication skills. • Experience working with early-stage founders. • Ability to work independently and provide clear weekly progress updates. Experience in nutraceuticals, health/wellness, food ingredients, supplements, or B2B startups is a strong plus. What I Already Have • A pitch deck. • A B2B branded ingredient business with clinical/scientific support. • Clear product positioning and market story. • A founder ready to execute quickly. What I Need From You Please include in your proposal: • Relevant fundraising or investor outreach experience. • Examples of similar work. • Your approach to investor targeting and outreach. • Which tools or process you use to track outreach. • Your proposed timeline and fee structure. • Any questions you have about my company or fundraising goals. Budget and Timeline I am open to either hourly or fixed-price work, but I would prefer milestone-based work with clear deliverables. I am looking for someone who can start immediately and work with me in a structured way over the next several weeks. Screening Questions 1. What startup fundraising or investor outreach work have you done before? 2. Have you worked with early-stage B2B companies before? 3. How would you build an investor list for my business? 4. How do you handle cold outreach and follow-up? 5. Can you help with both strategy and execution? 6. What results can I realistically expect in the first 30 days?
