Finance
For teams whose model was built for a pitch and is now meeting diligence.
- Operating model rebuilt for hardware: capex schedule, unit economics at low volume, test and certification cycles, inventory and lead-time cash.
- Use-of-funds tied to milestones investors can underwrite, not a headcount list.
- Round structure and valuation logic: size, instrument, pre/post, option pool, and what each choice does to the next round.
- Data room and diligence prep; the question list before investors ask it.
Ends with: a fund-ready model and round structure that survive a lead investor's diligence.
