AutoRaise

Before your discovery call

The questions
everyone asks,
answered first.

Five honest answers before we get on the call, so we can spend our time on your raise instead of on the basics.

Question 01

Can you
do it
for free?

Short answer: no. Here is the honest map of every option you actually have.

AutoRaise 02 / 14

The world of fundraising

There are two lanes. Neither one is free.

Lane one  ·  You pay cash

Paid

Retainers, success fees, and monthly minimums.

  • Investment banks
  • Advisors
  • Marketing firms
  • Consultants
Lane two  ·  You pay in outcomes

Commission only

No invoice up front, and no real accountability either.

  • Your cousin
  • Sketchy unlicensed bankers
Every route to capital has a price. The only question is whether you pay it in dollars, in equity, or in a year of your life that you do not get back.

Question 02

I tried
this before
and it failed.

Fair. Here is what was actually broken, and why it was never you.

AutoRaise 04 / 14

Why the last attempt stalled

You did not fail. The system did.

01

Antiquated systems

Static lists, stale contacts, and a rolodex process built long before this data existed. You were running a modern raise on tooling from another decade.

02

Unaligned incentives

They get paid whether or not your deal gets done. When the retainer clears on the first of the month, nobody on the other side is watching your clock.

03

Built for you to leave

This is the only platform designed so you can get off it. You keep the pipeline, the data room, and the investor relationships when the raise closes.

"You shouldn't let your first love ruin love for the rest of your life."

Question 03

Can you
guarantee
funding?

No, and you should walk away from anyone who says otherwise.

AutoRaise 06 / 14

What is ours, what is yours

Only you can guarantee your success.

What we can do is put everything you need to succeed on the table.

We bring

Meetings

A live calendar of investor conversations, generated on a repeatable cadence instead of a one off push.

We bring

The right investor fits

Targeting by stage, sector, geography, and cheque size, so the people you meet actually write into deals like yours.

We bring

Industry leading decks and data rooms

Materials built to the standard the institutional side expects to see before they take a second call.

At the end of the day, you have to take the meetings. We can't do that for you. If meetings ever get hard, Done For You clients raise it with their analyst, and DIY clients book an analyst call.

Question 04

How do
I know this
works for me?

Because it has already worked across the stages and asset classes most platforms cannot touch.

AutoRaise 08 / 14

Who we have raised for

Different stages. Different asset classes. Same system.

Venture

Pre revenue ventures

Founders with no revenue line yet, matched into venture capital that funds at that stage.

Funds

Funds raising from LPs

GPs running an LP raise on the same infrastructure they would otherwise hire a placement agent for.

Real assets

Real estate businesses

Project and portfolio raises pointed at the debt and equity sources that actually fund real assets.

Climate

Greentech

Hardware and climate businesses matched to the specialist and impact capital that understands the timeline.

Whether you are already speaking to investors and want more of them, or you are trying to book your first investor meeting, the system runs the same way.
AutoRaise 09 / 14

The database

Built to carry every investor type.

4M+

Investors in our database, covering effectively every investor known to man.

  • Venture capital
  • Angel investors
  • Family offices
  • Pension funds
  • Private equity
Most platforms cover one slice of that list. This is the only system built to carry all of them in one place, which is why a pre seed founder and a fund manager can run on the same rails.
AutoRaise 10 / 14

What that produces

The same systems we charge $10,000 a month for.

10+

Calls a month that most clients see, regardless of stage.

50

Meetings a month we generate for clients at zastre.co on these exact systems.

$10K

What those same clients pay per month for it through the agency.

Question 05

What can
I expect
from the call?

A full working session on your business, not a pitch you sit through.

AutoRaise 12 / 14

On the call

We go over everything to do with your business.

Which means the people who can answer and decide should be in the room. We generally recommend you bring:

Bring

Partners

Anyone who holds a stake in how this raise is run and what it costs.

Bring

Decision makers

Whoever signs off. If they hear it second hand, you lose a week to relaying it.

Bring

Team members involved

The people who will actually touch the raise day to day once it is live.

Your time is valuable and so is our team's. Getting the right people on at once is how we make the best use of both.
AutoRaise 13 / 14

Before we talk

If you show up ready, we go to work.

Two things make the difference between a call that ends in a launched raise and one that ends in a follow up.

01

Bring the whole team

With everyone on, we can properly answer the questions that come up and walk the full team through every part of the software we have built, and how you should be using it.

02

Commit to the meeting

If you can commit to showing up, that tells us how serious you are about the raise. In our experience it is also the clearest signal of how likely you are to close it.

See you on the call.
