Need help expressing your startup’s potential? Are you tired of pitches falling flat? You need a strategic advantage. With 25+ years as a former VC, investment banker, consultant, and author of the soon to be published, The Founder's Gauntlet - The Complete Fundraising and Startup Companion from Ideation to Exit, I don't just build investor materials; I engineer investor conviction. I've seen hundreds of startups stumble, not from bad ideas, but from failing to speak the investor language. Here's the harsh truth: Investors see hundreds of pitches. They're looking for the 'why' behind the numbers and the story, the strategic edge that sets you apart. If your pitch doesn't ignite their interest in seconds, you've lost. Here's how I change that: - Investor-Grade Financial Models: Not just projections, but a roadmap investors trust. - Killer Business Plans and Investor Pitch Decks: Narratives that resonate, not just word and number dumps. - Insider Insight: I know what investors want before they ask. - Strategic Fundraising Coaching: Turn your pitch into a funding magnet. - My track record: I've co-founded a VC firm and an investment bank. I've been in your shoes, and I know what it takes to break through. The difference? I don't just prepare you; I equip you to dominate. I'll help you anticipate investor questions, dismantle objections, and showcase your vision with unwavering confidence. Ready to stop pitching and start growing? Don't let another opportunity slip away. Message me now, and let's turn your startup's potential into reality.

I help companies, startups, and professionals with ideation, validation, strategy development, and translating all of the above into clear, effective business, marketing, and technical materials. Both collaboratively and independently, I work with clients to shape and articulate their ideas, adding business and operational context. Depending on the engagement, I then craft the required materials with a focus on clarity, structure, and usability. Prior to striking out on my own, I spent over 20 years in the software industry, primarily with startups, in business development, product management, and senior management roles. Bringing both hands-on business experience and strong writing capabilities, I develop materials that are not only well-written, but grounded from roots to leaves in the real world. I hold a BSE in Information Systems Engineering from the Technion and an MBA from the University of Arizona, both summa cum laude. I am comfortable working from scratch or refining existing materials, and can quickly align with your business, audience, and objectives. My goal is to deliver clear, fully baked strategies and texts, supporting diagrams, images, and other materials that reflect your thinking and can be put to immediate use. If this sounds like a good fit, I’d be happy to discuss your project. Skills & Expertise: - Business Planning & Investor Materials: business plans, investor presentations, information memorandums, executive messaging, business narratives, positioning, financial planning and modeling, and scenario-based analysis. - Strategy & Product Development: ideation, validation, product definition, requirements development, product specifications, workflow design, go-to-market planning, feature prioritization, and roadmap development. - Financial Modeling & Excel: financial models, interlinked spreadsheets, scenario-based planning and analysis. - Marketing & External Content: articles, website content, case studies, white papers, messaging and positioning. - Technical Writing: user manuals, specifications, system and product documentation. - SEO structure, setup, and content alignment: site architecture, metadata, keyword-informed content, and non-technical implementation. I also support broader business initiatives, including strategy development, go-to-market planning, channel development, and operational support.

Hello! This is Xiangyong "Stan" Sun. I have 15+ years of experience in U.S. real estate investment analytics, including market research, underwriting, financial modeling, investment analysis, and creating offering memorandum (OM) and pitch decks. Cornell University MBA with a Graduate Minor in Real Estate.

125M+ in capital raise asks modeled so far this year. Fractional CFO & Lead FP&A. Ex-EY / EY Parthenon Financial Modeler and Valuation Analyst. FMVA and FPAP certified. I build two things: financial models that help founders raise capital, and CFO-level financial systems that help operators run their business without guessing. After we work together, you walk into your next investor meeting and answer "what happens if growth slows 20%?" without flinching. Your model updates in real time. Your deck and your numbers tell the same story. For capital raises: you get an investor-ready financial model built around your actual business logic - not a template with your logo on it. Every assumption visible, every scenario toggleable, every investor question answered before they ask it. The same approach behind $110M+ in raise packages across SaaS, real estate, CPG, agriculture, clean energy, and numerous other industries. For ongoing operations: you get a CFO-level decision system built from your raw data. P&L, cash flow, margins by product, runway projections, scenario planning - one screen, 30 seconds, every Monday morning. 82% of businesses that fail cite poor cash flow management. This system makes sure you're not one of them. You stop making $50,000 decisions based on your bank balance and start making them based on actual data Most financial models you'll find on Upwork are templates with your numbers dropped in. Mine are decision tools - built around how your business actually runs, stress-tested for the questions investors and partners will ask, and structured so you can maintain them yourself long after we're done. I don't just build and disappear. I start with a structured assumptions interview so every input is locked before I write a single formula. I deliver a recorded walkthrough of every tab so you understand exactly what your numbers say and why. And when you're ready to present, you're not defending someone else's spreadsheet - you're presenting a model you actually understand. "The financial model for our SaaS startup was clear, flexible, and easy for our team to use in investor discussions. Adjustments to growth assumptions could be made instantly." - Adam, HealthTech Startup Founder "He took our initial financial model framework and significantly upgraded it - restructuring the revenue logic to better reflect our actual business plan and making the whole model much more flexible and easier to adjust going forward." - A.B., Investor Taking on 2-3 new engagements per month. If you're raising capital or need financial clarity to run your business, message me with a quick overview - what your business does and what you're trying to accomplish. I'll tell you if I can help and how.

Fractional COO for founder-led businesses between £500k and £10m revenue. I build the operational infrastructure, decision governance, accountability structures, forecasting systems, that lets founders scale without being the bottleneck. I've done this across SaaS, e-commerce, financial services, digital agencies, and professional services. The presenting problems are always different. The structural ones rarely are: decisions bottleneck at the top, the team waits, delivery wobbles, and the founder is everywhere and nowhere. 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗟𝗼𝗼𝗸𝘀 𝗟𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗣𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗲 At a real estate SaaS company, I built a customer success function from scratch, redesigned onboarding, and installed upsell and reactivation workflows. Over 8 months: MRR grew from £42k to £71k, churn dropped from 4.8% to 2.7%, and NRR moved from 101% to 114%. At a 40-person financial education business, the founder was the operating system — every decision routed through him. I rebuilt decision rights and accountability structures so team leads owned their areas. Within 60 days, escalations dropped by more than half and he got his weekends back. At a US tax advisory firm, I built the sales operation from scratch, scripts, SDR structure, onboarding, CSM framework. Monthly sales went from $20k to $60k in six months. These aren't edge cases. This is what happens when operations catch up with ambition. 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗜 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸 I bring two things most fractional operators don't. The first is 11 years of ex-military service — including special ops — where the job was to assess fast, identify the real problem, and execute under pressure with limited margin for error. That discipline transfers directly into business operations, change management, and building teams that perform without being managed. The second is technical implementation capability. I don't just redesign your operations and hand you a plan. I build the systems, accountability dashboards, CRM architecture, AI-assisted workflows, automated reporting. You get a working operational infrastructure, not a strategy deck. I've managed a £750m programme portfolio at a global technology corporation. Delivered £300m in operational savings at a UK managed services business. Run GTM strategy for companies expanding into Saudi Arabia and the UAE. Stood up operations in environments where there were no systems at all. I know what scales and what doesn't. 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗜 𝗛𝗲𝗹𝗽 𝗪𝗶𝘁𝗵 Fractional COO and Director of Operations engagements for businesses that need senior operational leadership without a full-time hire. Operational diagnostics for founders who know something's wrong but can't see where. Decision governance and accountability framework design. CRM build and sales pipeline architecture. Business process improvement and change management. Business mentoring for founders scaling from operator to leader. Chief of Staff and Head of Operations roles where senior judgment is needed, not just execution. 𝗪𝗵𝗼 𝗜 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗪𝗶𝘁𝗵 Founders of businesses between £500k and £10m revenue, typically 10 to 50 people, where growth has outpaced the structure underneath it. Usually they're working harder than ever and getting less traction. The problem is almost never the market. It's the operating model. I'll tell you what's actually wrong — including if it's something uncomfortable. That's the job. 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗼 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁 Send me three things: what your business does and how big the team is, where growth has stalled or operations are breaking down, and whether you need ongoing operational leadership, a specific build, or a diagnostic first. I'll respond within 24 hours and tell you directly whether I can help and how I'd approach it.
