Pre-seed and seed fundraising
Build an investor case that survives the second conversation.
Žilić Consult helps pre-seed and seed founders turn product, market and operating evidence into a clear investor narrative, credible materials and a disciplined fundraising process.
Service information reviewed .
A pitch deck is only one part of fundraising readiness. Investors also test the consistency between the market claim, customer evidence, product plan, use of funds, milestones and team capability.
Support focuses on the quality of the case and the founder's decision process. It does not promise introductions, investment or a particular valuation.
When this is useful
- The company is raising its first institutional round.
- The story is technically strong but commercially difficult to follow.
- The team needs to align milestones and use of funds with the round.
- Existing materials do not hold together across deck, model and data room.
Typical outputs
- Fundraising thesis, target investor profile and process plan
- Investor narrative and pitch-deck structure
- Evidence map for market, product and traction claims
- Data-room checklist and diligence readiness
- Q&A preparation, feedback synthesis and iteration plan
Method and limitations
How the work is grounded
The process starts with the investment case, not slide design. Claims are challenged against available evidence, and unsupported assumptions are either validated, qualified or removed.
Material conclusions distinguish sourced facts, client evidence, observations, estimates and professional recommendations. See the methodology and source policy.
Common questions
Do you introduce founders to investors?
Introductions are not the core service and are never guaranteed. The engagement is designed to improve readiness, targeting, materials and process quality.
Do you write the entire pitch deck?
The narrative and content can be developed together, but founders remain responsible for the claims and should be able to defend every part of the case.
