<p><b>Startup Description</b></p><p>My startup is a fundraising advisory and growth platform that helps seed-stage SaaS and technology founders raise capital, strengthen their investor narrative, and connect with the right investors.</p><p>The startup was built after years of working closely with SaaS founders and identifying a recurring challenge: many promising startups struggle to raise capital due to a lack of fundraising expertise, investor access, and strategic guidance. What began as a consulting business evolved into a specialized fundraising platform focused on helping founders become investor-ready and execute successful fundraising campaigns.</p><p>Over the last five years, the platform has developed proprietary fundraising frameworks, a proven outbound acquisition engine, an active investor network partnership, a fundraising course and community, and a proprietary AI fundraising platform trained on years of real SaaS founder fundraising conversations.</p><p>Today, it serves founders globally and operates as a lean, location-independent business with significant untapped growth opportunities.</p><p><b>Key Highlights</b></p><ul> <li>TTM Revenue: $73,000</li> <li>TTM Profit: $17,000</li> <li>Revenue Growth: 31% Year-over-Year</li> <li>Gross Margin: Approximately 50%</li> <li>Average Revenue Per Client (ARPU): €3,114</li> <li>Customer Lifetime Value (LTV): €3,500–€3,800</li> <li>Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC): Approximately €368</li> <li>LTV:CAC Ratio: 8.5:1</li> <li>Trusted by more than 100 SaaS founders</li> <li>Global customer base across North America, EMEA, and Latin America</li> <li>Select portfolio of active clients</li> <li>Growth achieved without paid advertising</li> <li>Proprietary AI fundraising platform trained on real founder fundraising data</li> <li>Active investor network partnership</li> <li>Course and community platform developed and positioned for future recurring revenue expansion</li> <li>Fully documented acquisition, sales, and delivery systems</li> <li>Location-independent business model</li> </ul> <p><b>Team</b></p><p>The business operates with a lean, contractor-based structure that minimizes fixed costs while maintaining flexibility and scalability.</p><p><b>Founder &amp; CEO.
