Tell the story properly, and convincingly. Your deck isn't your business plan, it's an invitation for upside.
It's harder than we'd like to find peers who are raising pre-seed money. Let's solve our problems together.
Have the right files before your investor asks for them. Create an organized and transparent data room.
Saying the right thing makes a difference when you only have a few seconds to make an impression.
Assemble a list of investors and angels who are looking for companies just like yours.
Your roadshow schedule, contact list, and timeline is crucial when you're first starting to raise.
Define your revenue targets, return horizons, and how you'll be using the capital clearly.
We'll introduce you to an investor who has a thesis matching your vision/ approach. We'll be in the room pitching with you, ready to support during or after as necessary.

"We partnered with Further Faster in 2022 to re-imagine our Accelerator program. They ran a collaborative, hands-on process that allowed us to revamp a 3-month program and full curriculum in 6 weeks. They were a great partner throughout the entire planning process and we're grateful for their help!"
"Working with Further Faster is a game-changer! Honestly, I wish we had started working together right at the inception of our startup journey because the best practices we’ve implemented together has helped Smarty grow by leaps and bounds. Further Faster has brought me a level of confidence about the decisions we make that I did not have before, and the progress we’ve made together speaks for itself. I see Further Faster as a part of the Smarty family now and I hope we will continue working together for the whole startup journey from PMF to scaling beyond"
It has been a pleasure getting to know the Further Faster team and I see them as partners for life. It was extremely beneficial to collaborate with them while launching my latest venture. The quality of work was top notch and I learned quite a bit from working closely with their entire team. I would highly recommend their studio to any serious entrepreneur.
"Working together built my confidence as a founder. I am more trusting of my intuition and process and have research and experience to back it up."
