Are you ready to take the Best step in your Startup life?









What most Founders need to consider:

When you go Pitch an Angel or VC you need to have the Funding Round ready-to-go.


This means if they like it you get the Check in weeks not months! You are expected to have your funding documents in place with required SEC documents like a PPM if the round requires it. You also need to have the vehicle - Convertible Notes or SAFES ready. You need to have your SEC Reg.D Filings in place. Angels and VCs do not like having to create these for Founders who come unprepared. It can take weeks or months to get these documents ready. That costs them money and waste's their time before you even have a deal. Lastly it means any check you could get is likely to be months and not weeks. If there are changes, they are easy and quick to make.


At Startup Buddy, we help founders navigate the steps for successful fundraising. We help you with Investor-Ready Materials; A Due Diligence and DataRoom Platform and Warm Introductions to Investors from leading venture capital firms, angel networks, and accelerators. Our structured approach ensures that startups are not just pitching, but presenting investor-ready materials to the right funding sources.
