Fundraising round planning — determines how much to raise, spending allocation, round structure (SAFE vs priced round), dilution modeling, and investor targeting strategy. Use when the user asks "how much should I raise?", "fundraising strategy", "how to spend the money", "raise planning", "plan my round", or "fundraising plan". Part of the fundraising workflow: /before-fundraising → /product-metrics → ▶ /fundraising-strategy → /fundraising-stage → /pitch-deck → /pitch → /due-diligence → /deal-room.
This command is Step 2 of the fundraising workflow:
/before-fundraising → /product-metrics → ▶ /fundraising-strategy → /fundraising-stage → /pitch-deck → /pitch → /due-diligence → /deal-room

one question at a time: stage → burn rate → runway → growth targets.

How much to raise:
How to spend it:
