Investor-readiness review
We read your deck, your numbers and your investor list the way an investor will, before you send anything. By application.
What we read for
The same things an investor checks in the ten minutes before agreeing to a meeting. More on that here.
- The case
- Whether the deck says why this, why now and why this team, in an order an investor can follow.
- The numbers
- The ask, the use of funds, the runway it buys and the milestone it reaches, and whether they connect.
- The investors
- Whether the list fits your stage, sector and cheque size, and the order to approach them in.
- The tax position
- For UK angels, where you stand on SEIS and EIS, and how plainly the deck says so.
- The surround
- Whether the website, the founders’ profiles and the filings tell the same story as the deck.
What you receive
A written assessment of where the case is strong and where it will be questioned, slide by slide, and a call to go through it with you.
If you go on to work with us on the narrative or the brand, the review is where that work starts.

We take on a small number of reviews each month, so we can give each one proper attention. We reply within two business days either way.
Stu [Strategic Studios] has an amazing ability to quickly identify the key components of company value, and translate these into a coherent business plan. What makes Stu’s approach unique is how he ties this in with storytelling, from the start. His talent for combining strategy and marketing is world-class and immensely valuable.
