Investor-ready: fundraising prep, pitch rework and investor introductions, starting with Pitch SHARP
Investor-ready
Hear your company pitched back. Better.
For startups getting ready to raise.
Most founders know their product too well to explain it simply. In the first session, Raphaël listens to your pitch, gets to the core of what really matters, and pitches it back to you. Then we keep working until investors can repeat it, and introduce you to the right ones.

Watch what happens in the room.
You have to experience it to believe it.
Is your pitch costing you the round?
Can an investor repeat your pitch to their partners after hearing it once?
Do you lose the room before you reach the ask?
Has your pitch been through four versions while the story stayed the same?
Do investors ask what you do after you have told them?
If two of these are true, the pitch is the problem.

No scripts, no slides, no stage tricks.
We work on the story, the order and the argument.
Built by someone who has built the product.
Raphaël worked in product at Google, then was the first product hire at Horangi Cyber Security and built the product from MVP through Series B to its acquisition by Bitdefender.
We have skin in the game.
Part of our fee is a share of what you raise, so we only do well when you do. It is also why we only take founders we believe we can get ready.
How it works
The pitch first, then the room
1. Pitch SHARP
You pitch, Raphaël digs, then he pitches it back to you: same product, same raise, told so an investor can follow it and repeat it.
2. The work
We keep working on it with you: the story, the product, the questions investors will ask. There is no fixed number of sessions. We keep going until it is memorable, believable and clearly an opportunity.
3. Introductions
Once the pitch is ready, we introduce you to investors who fit your stage and sector, through our network across Europe, the Middle East and Asia. Not before: a first meeting spent on a pitch that is not ready is a meeting you do not get back. We stay through the raise.
What founders say
From founders we have worked with
“Pitch SHARP condenses months of learning into a few sessions. It isn’t just about picking the right angle, it’s understanding why that angle works, what it leads to, and what questions it invites. Before, by the time I reached the ask, the attention was already gone. Now I get questions like ‘how did you get there, tell me more.’ It’s far less stressful, and it keeps the listener engaged. Whether you’re pitching to investors or clients, it comes down to the same thing: being prepared for what they’re hearing, and what they’re picturing next.”
Viktoria Camp
CEO & Co-founder, Affinect
“Working with Raphaël was a game changer. He pitched my idea back to me in a way that led with value and made people immediately understand why it was needed. What I found fascinating was how he simplified my pitch without losing any of its substance, the core of the idea stayed fully intact. It helped me articulate the concept quickly and clearly. Highly recommend.”
Sahar Ali
Founder, Fyn
“He gave us genuinely incredible feedback on our pitch deck and elevator pitch, what’s working, what to sharpen, how to tell the story better. Sharp eye and a lot of insight. If anyone is working on their pitch or deck, seriously reach out to him: he knows his stuff.”
Ahmed Mohsen
Co-founder, Colabz-MEA
“I was glued to the screen listening, so much so I found it hard to put a word in, absorbing all the valuable info. It made so much sense, especially the storytelling and memorability. As an ad guy, we forgot to do what we do best. Real eye opener.”
Bruno El Adm
Founder, Ad Store UAE
What you are committing to
Typical shape, not a fixed package
How it starts
A conversation to see whether we are the right fit for each other.
How long
As long as it takes to get you ready, and through the raise.
What you keep
The pitch reframed, the reasoning behind the new order, and introductions once it is ready.
Bring the version you have. A rough pitch is more useful than a finished one, because the gaps are easier to see.
Why SHA/RP
What sits behind the work
Investors who will take the meeting.
Our network spans Europe, the Middle East and Asia, and we introduce you only once the pitch is ready.
The founder's side of the table.
Raphaël worked in product at Google, then led product at Horangi Cyber Security from MVP through Series B to its acquisition by Bitdefender. We know what building it looks like from the inside.
We win when you do.
We stay through the raise, and part of our fee is a small share of what you raise.
Inside the team, then handed back.
We do the work, not slides about the work, and leave a team that runs without us.
Bring the pitch you have.
It does not need to be finished. A rough version is more useful than a polished one, because the gaps are easier to see.
Request a call. We will talk it through and see together whether we are a good fit.
No obligation either way. We will come back with a tailored answer, or tell you it is not us.
