How to Run a Fundraise: A 90-Day Process From Prep to Close

Fundraising is a sprint, not a side task

A drawn-out raise signals weakness and drains focus. Run it as a concentrated process with momentum.

The 90-day arc

  • Days 1–20: deck, data room, target list, warm intros
  • Days 21–55: first meetings in batches to create urgency
  • Days 56–75: partner meetings, term sheet negotiation
  • Days 76–90: due diligence, docs, signing and wire

Run meetings in parallel, not in series. Concentrated interest creates the competition that gets you a term sheet.
