About Simran

I work with pre-seed and early seed founders to clarify their fundraising story and translate it into a coherent, investor-ready pitch deck.

My focus is not on making slides look polished, but on pressure-testing the narrative, sharpening positioning, and identifying gaps that often lead to silent investor rejections.

I’ve worked across early-stage fundraising, venture capital, and angel networks, which allows me to approach fundraising materials the way investors actually evaluate them.

Typical work includes:
– Fundraising narrative and story structure
– Pitch deck creation or restructuring (pre-seed / seed)
– Honest feedback on readiness to raise
– Identifying what proof points are needed for the next round

I’m a good fit for founders who want candid feedback and strategic input, not just slide design or rushed turnaround work.
