SaaS Agent Funding Stage Playbook Skill
Overview
AI funding (handled by saas-ai-funding-stage-playbook) maps AI startups to AI-VC / sovereign-AI / DFI envelopes. Agent funding has its own investor archetypes (agent-specialist funds, vertical AI funds) and its own use-of-proceeds shape (heavier on Tool / Eval / Safety than on GTM). Milestones are agent-specific.
Use When
- Section 11 is being built for an agent-product plan
- A round is being planned (pre-seed -> growth)
- Investor-targeting list is being assembled
- Use-of-proceeds is being argued
- Milestone breakpoints for the next round are being declared
Do Not Use When
- The product is AI-feature only without agentic action — use
saas-ai-funding-stage-playbook
- A grant-only path is the funding strategy — use
11b-grant-proposal instead
- The plan is too early (pre-PMF, pre-customer) — focus on building first customers before funding-stage discipline
Required Inputs
- Current stage and ARR
- Cost-per-resolved-task trajectory
- Moat-vs-wrapper score
- Bankability score
- Customer mix (regulated / public / SMB / enterprise)
- Geographic footprint
