Engagement Proposal

The first template of the Company Operating System — written for first-time CEO founders who are building the company, not just the raise.

If this is your first time as CEO, you are not looking for another consultant — you are looking for the operating system that lets you run the company 360 degrees while you raise. That is what this proposal is: a menu of ways we can work together inside the Company Operating System. Choose the option that fits your stage today — I will send you a formal invoice, and a separate payment link, so you can start when you are ready.

01 — Fundraising Operating System

CEO Operating System

Questions first-time CEOs ask

The three objections that come up in almost every first conversation — answered plainly, before you choose an option above.

Your journey

A guided tour of the platform

From the moment you accept a package to the day an investor books a meeting, every step is handled inside one editorial workspace. Names of live investors and mandates are redacted here for confidentiality — what follows is the same interface you and I will share.

  1. 01

    Choose your package

    You start on this very page — pick a service tier, tell me about your company, and a private thread opens between us.

  2. 02

    Your Pre-IC Brief goes live

    Together we produce a digital Pre-IC brief — the investor-facing artefact. Hyperlinked, versioned, and equipped with an 'Ask this brief' AI assistant so investors can query your deck in plain English.

    Investor pipeline & cockpit

    Every matched investor sits in a live cockpit — tier, brief views, intro status. You see exactly who has engaged, and you approve who is contacted next.

    Outreach, on your terms

    Approved intros are drafted, scheduled, and throttled — with a founder-approval gate so nothing goes out without your sign-off. You keep authorship; the platform keeps the tempo.
