Hello fellow founders,

Were currently trying to raise our Series A, and putting together the data room and financial narratives for VCs is completely draining my bandwidth. I feel like we are getting pushed back because our financial models don't look "institutional grade." I was looking into different advisory firms, but their minimum retainers are insane. I just stumbled upon a network that provides fractional fundraising services here https://usfractionalcfo.com/fundraising/ where they pair you with a US-based CFO who knows exactly what investors want to see, without the agency bloat. It looks like a huge time-saver. Have any of you successfully used a part-time finance leader to help close a funding round?
