VC Fundraising Toolkit for Claude Code
AI-powered pitch analysis, fundraising strategy, and investor relations for startup founders -- grounded in first principles from Sequoia, a16z, Benchmark, and YC.
Why This Exists
Raising venture capital is a storytelling problem disguised as a finance problem. The best pitch decks don't just present data -- they construct a narrative so compelling that a VC partner can retell it in 30 seconds to their partnership and get heads nodding.
This plugin encodes the fundraising wisdom of Don Valentine, Ben Horowitz, Mike Maples Jr., Andy Rachleff, Paul Graham, Reid Hoffman, Peter Thiel, and Mark Suster into a set of specialized AI agents that help founders at every stage -- from crafting the initial narrative to preparing for tough Q&A to writing monthly investor updates.
"The money flows as a function of the story." -- Don Valentine, Sequoia Capital

"[Company] automates compliance for fintechs. Their insight is that
compliance teams spend 70% of time on repetitive checks that AI can
handle. They're at $2M ARR growing 25% month-over-month, and the
market shifted when [regulation] passed in January. Raising $15M to
expand into banking."
