What the CFO delivers · Investors
Who runs my raise: the deck, the data room, the diligence and the investors themselves?
The round owned end to end, from the first model to money in the bank.
What gets built.
- Investor deck and financial story built from the model, not written backwards from a target
- A deal room that is complete on day one, so diligence never stalls the round
- Investor scouting and a targeted list, then the relations work that keeps them warm between rounds
You run the raise instead of the raise running you.

Smaller is the point.
Illustrative target for this function, not a measured client average.
“Our $30M round needed someone who understood valuation and the tactics behind a raise.”
Questions people ask about investors.
Can you run a raise end to end?
That is the job: the model, the deck, the data room, the diligence and the room itself. Hayat has been through it as principal, including to exit.
What makes a data room good rather than just full?
Completeness on day one and a clear trail from every claim to its source. Diligence stalls when an investor asks for something that takes a week to find, and stalled rounds are the ones that reprice.
