| description | Navigate fundraising using research on how VCs actually make decisions—cash-on-cash multiples over DCF, 10-slide Sequoia/YC hybrid decks, and warm intro outreach hierarchy. Use when preparing to raise, building pitch materials, or planning investor outreach strategy. |
VCs don't invest in ideas. They invest in returns. Understand their math and you'll understand their decisions.
Research shows VC evaluation priorities:
| Method | % of VCs Who Use It | Implication |
|---|---|---|
| Cash-on-cash multiple | 63% | "Will this return 10x my check?" |
| IRR (Internal Rate of Return) | 42% | "How fast does the money come back?" |
| DCF (Discounted Cash Flow) | 10% | Almost nobody uses this for early-stage |
VCs think in portfolio math:
- Fund size: $100M
- Target return: 3x = $300M
- Typical portfolio: 20-30 companies
- Need 1-2 outliers returning 50-100x to make the fund work
Your job: Convince them you could be the outlier.
| Slide | Purpose | Time |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Title | Company name, one-line description, your name | 10 sec |
| 2. Problem | The pain — specific, urgent, and expensive | 60 sec |
| 3. Solution | Your approach — demo or clear visual | 90 sec |
| 4. Market | TAM/SAM/SOM with bottom-up sizing | 60 sec |
| 5. Traction | Revenue, users, growth rate — the evidence | 60 sec |
| 6. Business model | How you make money, unit economics | 60 sec |
| 7. Competition | Positioning map — not a feature matrix | 45 sec |
| 8. Team | Why this team wins — relevant unfair advantages | 45 sec |
| 9. Financials | 18-month projection, use of funds | 45 sec |
| 10. Ask | Amount, milestones this capital unlocks | 30 sec |
Problem slide: "X people spend Y hours/dollars doing Z because no one has built W."
- Quantify the pain. Abstract problems don't get funded.
Traction slide: Show trajectory, not just a number.
- "MRR: $5K → $15K → $40K over 3 months" beats "$40K MRR"
Market slide: Bottom-up, not top-down.
- BAD: "The global SaaS market is $200B"
- GOOD: "50K mid-market companies × $500/mo × 12 = $300M SAM"
Effectiveness ranked by actual conversion data:
1. Warm intro from portfolio founder → 30-40% meeting rate
2. Warm intro from trusted VC → 20-30% meeting rate
3. Warm intro from mutual connection → 10-20% meeting rate
4. Cold email (well-researched) → 3-5% meeting rate
5. Cold LinkedIn message → 1-2% meeting rate
6. Cold application through website → <1% meeting rate
