🏆 "Need a pitch deck? Stop looking...you've found your guy. Yes, Arthur is THAT good." — VC-Backed FinTech Founder (raised over $25M then successfully acquired) "First date" decks that resonate and get you in the room. Then they book the second meeting, supercharge your champions, and get investors pitching YOU. A great pitch deck is more than an introduction—it is the ultimate strategic asset for your venture. Its first job is to get you in the door. Then it secures the follow up conversation, then it acts as a force multiplier. You need to hand over a deck that gives your champions everything they need to sell the opportunity in your words, on your behalf. I help pull the narrative out of your head, transforming complex technical details into an airtight, memorable founder-led story that looks amazing. It is your vision, in your voice, for the investors who matter to you. I partner with: ➡️ Visionary Founders & CEOs: You are deeply immersed in your complex technical context and have zero runway for investor ghosting. You need an intellectual peer who operates with structured, rapid conversational systems to pull the raw vision out of your head and turn it into an airtight story via ultra-concise updates. ➡️ High-Stakes Marketing Directors & GTM Leads: You’re stuck trying to translate messy, complex business logic from C-suite or technical founders on a brutal deadline, risking your own internal credibility if the narrative bombs. You need an executive-ready partner you can confidently drop directly in front of the CEO. I deliver low-friction collaboration that requires zero hand-holding or manual oversight, protects your time, and makes you look great. 🚀 The proof is in the numbers and the client reviews: ➡️ "With his help, our business has grown enormously. Arthur is a true UNICORN!" — Enterprise Client ($250K+ spent on my investor-facing pitches) ➡️ "As an M&A and VC attorney I've seen countless pitch decks, but Arthur's work truly stands out. He is a sharp thinker who always goes the extra mile and delivers best in class work." — Veteran Insurtech Client 🎯 Capital Raised & Major Exits I’ve helped 400+ founders clear complex messaging hurdles and secure institutional capital. My clients have successfully raised from - and exited to - the world’s most elite organizations: 💼 Venture Capital → a16z, Sequoia, Y Combinator, Tiger Global, Zoom Ventures, Mark Cuban, Michael Jordan (!) 🏛️ Corporate & Institutional → Institutional Property Acquisition (£2.5M raise), Chanel, Red Bull, Kaiser Permanente, US Dept of Defense 🎯 Strategic Acquisitions/Exits → Alliance Pharma, Corsearch, Ziff Davis 📈 I work directly with you using a proven process that suits your schedule, not mine. We can do it in 48 hours, or over a few months, as many or as few calls as makes sense. ➡️ Phase 1 → Get the story right - start with what you’ve got, download your brain ➡️ Phase 2 → Get it looking great - elite design based on your brand guidelines - or if you don't have them we'll DFY ➡️ Phase 3 → Hand it over for you to drive - source docs you can edit - me on call when you need You leave with total ownership of an adaptable, editable asset and everything you need to confidently and independently run your raise. ⚡ I can plug you in to other pitch-adjacent services - but no pressure Institutional Financial Modelling, Bankable Business Plans, Brand Strategy & Development, Online Presence, Lawyers and legal services ⚠️ A Critical Note on Capital Introductions: I do not partner with, look for, or refer clients to third-party "investor prospecting" services or blind capital introduction brokers. These are almost always frauds. If you’re looking for these services we are not a fit. 🌐 Core Sectors I work directly with senior leadership across: AI, Defense, Consumer, Deep Tech, FinTech, Energy, Pharma, Healthcare, Medtech, High-Yield Real Estate and VC Funds 🛑 We're not a fit if ❌ You want someone to pitch on your behalf - I build the weapons, you have to fire them. 🛫 Next Step: If it feels like we could be a fit - invite me to your job, or message me to say hi and tell me what you’re up to.

Most AI consultants understand prompts. Few understand the business underneath them. I'm something different: a SaaS founder with sales/marketing pedigree who crossed over — two agencies, two funded SaaS startups, 25 years inside retail, QSR, fast casual, POS, Robotics, real estate, and health tech. That's not a background. That's my unfair advantage. I build Claude applications that actually work in production — because I've run the operations they're built to improve. I don't start with the tool. I start with your customer, your bottleneck, and your story. Then I build around it. That same instinct helped 100+ companies raise $500M+. The skill is identical: distill what matters, build around it, make it land. 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐬 𝐦𝐞 𝐚 𝐝𝐢𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐬: • I've built SaaS — I know what "it has to perform" actually means • I've run marketing — I know how customers think before I write a single prompt • I've worked your vertical — QSR, health tech, POS, real estate aren't research, they're résumé • I translate between business and AI — most people can only speak one language 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐈 𝐛𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐝: • Claude-powered workflows tailored to your vertical • Prompt architecture that holds up in production, not just demos • AI tools your team will actually use • Strategy for where AI has the highest ROI in your specific business 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐜𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐬𝐚𝐲: "A true thought partner. Extremely organized, prompt, reliable — and the kind of guy you'd want to have a beer with." "A gift for getting to the core of an idea quickly — and pushing back on bad suggestions in a positive way." "Amazingly responsive, even over nights and weekends." If you want someone who's built businesses — not just built prompts — let's talk.

If you're a founder preparing for a raise, an operator running scenario planning, or a deal team underwriting an acquisition, you already know the model has to be right. Imprecise assumptions and poorly structured outputs don't just slow things down, they cost you credibility at the worst possible moment. I build financial models that founders can put in front of investors, operators can make real decisions from, and deal teams can defend in a room. Every model is assumption-driven, stress-tested, and built so you can update inputs and see the impact instantly without touching a formula. WHAT I BUILD: - Startup and growth models for seed through Series B raises - 3-statement integrated financial models and forecasts - Acquisition and buy-side underwriting models - Unit economics, cohort analysis, and LTV:CAC modeling - Rolling forecasts and cash runway models - KPI dashboards and executive reporting WHO I WORK WITH: Founders preparing for investor conversations, operators running growth and scenario planning, CFOs needing overflow modeling support, and deal teams underwriting acquisitions. I've supported numerous businesses across a wide range of industries but primarily specialize in AI, SaaS, D2C, services, and franchise verticals. HOW I WORK: I operate like an embedded finance partner: fast-moving, strategic, and data-driven. I return clean, client-ready deliverables on a tight timeline. Most engagements are up and running within 24 hours of scope confirmation and are ready for review within 72 hours.
