Raise Money sits between two groups with very different expectations:

need guidance, preparation, feedback, access, and fundraising support.

need relevant opportunities, clear information, efficient communication, and founders who understand their businesses.

The Fundraising & Investor Relations Manager connects these two sides.

A strong person in this position should be able to look at a startup and answer:

- Is this founder ready to raise?
- What needs to improve?
- What type of capital may be relevant?
- Which investors may be suitable?
- How should the founder approach them?
- What should happen after the meeting?
- What is blocking the process from moving forward?

That is why this role should sit close to the ’ , rather than operating merely as a sales or lead-generation function.
