Hire the Best Fundraising Consultants in Florida

I help startups build the pitch decks, financial models, and investor materials that actually close funding rounds — from the perspective of someone who evaluates these for a living. I'm a general partner at an early-stage VC firm ($300M+ AUM). I've deployed roughly $150M into startups, advised on another $300M or so, and helped guide multiple portfolio companies to successful exits. I've also raised $25M+ for my own ventures and served as CFO through multiple funding rounds. I've seen more pitches than an MLB catcher, and unlike most consultants, I know exactly what makes an investor lean forward versus reach for the "pass" button. When I build your deck, model, or memo, I'm building it the way I'd want to see it land on my desk. What I Do: Pitch Decks — Strategy-driven, investor-tested decks built on a defensible model and realistic valuation. Not templates. Email decks that stand alone without a presenter. Live decks that land. Financial Models — SaaS, marketplace, e-commerce, biotech, hardware. Bottom-up revenue builds, cohort analysis, scenario modeling, unit economics. Clean, auditable, and built to tell a story — not just fill cells. Valuations — DCF, comparable company analysis, precedent transactions, VC method. I always show the work and the assumptions. Investor Memorandums & Business Plans — Compelling narrative with proper disclosure, based on industry standards and two decades of raising capital. Fractional CFO & Strategic Finance — Capital structure, cap table optimization, term sheet review, fundraising strategy, board prep, and financial operations for startups that need senior finance leadership without the full-time commitment. Coaching & Advisory — Guidance for founders navigating fundraising, financial strategy, or "why is my investor ghosting me" territory. My clients range from pre-seed founders building their first deck to Series C companies refining their strategy. If you're passionate about your idea but a cap table makes your eyes glaze over, or you need someone who can pressure-test your model before investors do — let's talk. Send me a message with what you're working on and I'll let you know how I can help.

Open to fixed price or hourly rates for consulting, including fractional CFO, financial modeling, structuring, presentations and investment materials for acquisitions and fundraising opportunities in the corporate, middle market, private equity, venture capital, startup and family office sectors. I typically close 1-2 transactions a quarter.
