FAQ
Scope, pricing and how engagements run.
Short answers first. If something is not covered here, ask it in the proposal request and you will get a direct reply.
Who does Anna work with?
- Startup founders who are raising or preparing to raise, usually where the business is complex enough that the story needs real work before investor meetings.
How much does an engagement cost?
- A Paid Consultation is $225 for 30 minutes. A Pitch Deck Audit is $750. Strategy and build engagements have current working prices from $1,500 to $4,450, with final scope confirmed before work begins.
How long does it take?
- A Paid Consultation is 30 minutes. Audit timing is confirmed before purchase. Strategy and build engagements are scheduled according to scope, round timing and founder availability. Live deadlines are evaluated during qualification.
Is this a pitch deck design service?
- The work begins with the fundraising argument: what the round is, who it is for, which proof supports it and what decision the material must move. Design is developed as part of carrying that argument clearly and credibly.
Can you guarantee a raise?
- No, and neither can anyone else. The work improves the clarity, structure and credibility of your case. Investor decisions stay with investors.
How do we start?
- Use the diagnostic or send a proposal request with your stage, deadline and current materials. I review the context and reply directly with the recommended scope or a clear next step.
I already generated a deck with AI. Is that useful here?
- An AI-generated deck is a useful starting point. The review identifies generic claims, unsupported logic, filler and the questions an investor is likely to test, then prioritizes what needs to change.
Do you use AI in the work?
- Yes, for research, drafting and iteration speed. Every judgment about positioning, argument and what an investor will believe is mine. You work directly with me throughout.
