Problem
DeltaGen was preparing for their pre-seed raise and needed guidance on how to navigate the early-stage fundraising process. As a first-time founder, the CEO was looking for help refining their pitch, identifying the right investors, and shaping a strategy for outreach.
Approach
I worked with the DeltaGen team to clarify their fundraising strategy, including how to position their platform and what milestones to emphasize at the pre-seed stage. Beyond advising on investor materials and pitch structure, I made targeted introductions to funds aligned with their thesis — including B5 Capital and Forward Venture Capital.
Outcome
DeltaGen successfully closed their pre-seed round with investment from B5 Capital, giving the team the runway to build early traction and continue product development.
