Use this skill when a founder, CEO, or board member needs to orchestrate the full investor relations and fundraising function — from identifying and researching investors, building pitch decks, running automated outreach campaigns, packing the founder's calendar with investor meetings, preparing for due diligence, and tracking round analytics. This is the top-level fundraising orchestrator that commissions all IR sub-skills, maintains the single source of truth for the capital raise, drives investor relationships from first touch to close, and produces board-ready fundraising reports. Trigger this skill when anyone needs to: start a new fundraise, manage an active round, automate investor outreach to VCs like Sequoia, a16z, Greylock, Bain Capital Ventures or angels and family offices, or get a full view of the fundraising pipeline.
