Private advisory for founders raising €2M+
One day inside your business with a working VC. You get the same diagnostic we write about deals on our side of the table — and a prioritised list of what to fix before your next partner meeting. €2,000, pay-first, no retainer, no strings.
Book your 1day.vc — €2,000Delivered in 10 business days · Every answer in writing · Covered by mutual NDA
Built by a VC who reviews 400+ decks per year and has written cheques at seed and Series A across Europe.
Why most rounds stall
VCs pass in under twelve minutes. Most of those passes have nothing to do with whether your company can work — they have to do with whether the first three slides, the first metric you cite, and the first answer you give make an investor lean in or out.
Founders rarely see this because no VC will tell them. A pass comes back as "too early for us" or "not quite our thesis" — generic enough to avoid a debate, vague enough to be useless.
After twenty of those, you run out of meetings and time.
1day.vc exists so you do not have to learn this the expensive way.
What 1day.vc is
You send your deck, model, and data room. We spend 60 minutes together on video. I spend a full day inside your business, running it through the same framework I use on live deals. Then we spend another 60 minutes walking through what I found. You leave with four written deliverables and a thirty-day action plan. No retainer. No introductions promised. No follow-up fees. You own everything that comes out of the day.
The process
Step 01
Day 0 — 15 min
Stripe checkout, then a 90-minute structured questionnaire covering team, market, product, metrics, round strategy, and risks. Upload your deck, model, and data room link.
Step 02
Day 1–3 — 60 min
Video or in-person. You walk me through your business. I ask the questions a partner would ask in a second meeting. Recorded with consent.
Step 03
Day 4–8 — a full day
I build the investment case from scratch — market, competitors, unit economics, deck, model, narrative. The same way I would on a live deal.
Step 04
Day 9 — delivered
Four artifacts land in your inbox the day before we talk. You read them first so the call is about decisions, not explanations.
Step 05
Day 10 — 60 min
Walk through the verdict, the priorities, and the thirty-day plan. You leave knowing exactly what to do next week.
Ten business days from payment to a sharpened pitch. No extensions, no scope creep.
Four written artifacts. Yours to keep.
01
The document a VC would have written about you internally — reframed as Strengths, Weaknesses, Gaps, and Suggested Improvements across every dimension of the business. 20–30 pages. The one thing you would pay the whole €2,000 for.
02
Slide-by-slide teardown of your current deck, plus a suggested restructure — order, narrative arc, what to cut, what is missing. Not graphic design. The bones of a deck that makes a partner lean in.
03
Round size anchored to milestones, valuation benchmarked against comparable deals, a target list of funds with partner-level entry points, and a suggested sequencing of outreach over the next eight weeks.
04
A read of your live model, not a rebuild. CAC, LTV, gross margin, burn, runway, and projections stress-tested the way a VC will in due diligence. The questions you will be asked — with your answers ready.
All four are yours. No NDA-wrapped drip, no consulting retainer to unlock anything. You own the files the day they are delivered.
Who we work with
You have a product, a handful of customers, maybe €50–500K ARR. You have a deck. You think it is "fine". You know you get one chance with each of the 25 seed funds you plan to approach.
You want the deck and narrative stress-tested by someone who has passed on thousands of them, before you walk into the first partner meeting.
You are at €1–5M ARR. You have product-market fit signals, but the story is not tight yet. You are two or three quarters out from raising. You want to walk in ready, not hopeful.
You want the model stress-tested, the traction framed properly, and the target fund list built by someone who knows which partners actually write your kind of cheque.
You have taken 20, 30, 40 meetings. The passes are generic. Momentum is gone. Runway is shrinking. You are not sure if the issue is the business, the story, the fund fit, or all three.
You want an outside, unemotional read on what is actually broken — in 10 days, not in a three-month consulting engagement.
Before you book
If any of the above is what you want, save your €2,000 — this is not for you.

Who is on the other end of the day
I am [Your Name]. I [am / have been] an investor at [Fund], where I evaluate ~[X] deals a year and have led investments in European [sector] at [stage].
Before that, I [relevant operator or investor background].
Every week I write the internal memos that decide whether a fund passes or leans in on an early-stage company. I have seen what makes partners reach for the termsheet, and what makes them close the deck on slide three.
1day.vc is the service I wish existed for the founders I pass on — a straight answer, in writing, in under two weeks.
"The founders who succeed in a fundraise are the ones who can hear the honest answer. The ones who stall are the ones who cannot."

What is not included
You are charged €2,000 via Stripe, then redirected to the questionnaire and calendar. Kickoff call booked within 3 business days.
Common questions
No. It is a fixed-scope, fixed-price diagnostic. One day of analysis, two calls, four deliverables. No retainer, no scope creep.
No. 1day.vc is analysis, not distribution. I will tell you which 20–30 funds are the right fit and how to get in — but I will not make introductions. This keeps the analysis honest.
If you have a product and are planning to raise in the next six months, you are not too early. If you are still deciding whether to build the company, you are. Book a seed validation with someone else.
Compared to a consulting engagement, no. Compared to a free call with an investor, yes. You are paying for the day of work, the written deliverables, and the fact that the feedback is unvarnished in a way free calls never are.
Yes, mutual. A short one you countersign in the same checkout flow. Your materials are deleted thirty days after the final call unless you ask us to retain them.
It probably will. You are paying for an independent read from someone actively in the VC seat, not a second opinion designed to agree with the first.
English is default. French is available. Other languages on request — ask before booking.
Yes. Up to three people from your team on both calls. Beyond that it becomes a workshop and loses its edge.
Yes. Stripe handles VAT and business invoicing automatically at checkout.
Not ready to book?
A one-page PDF you can read in 5 minutes and apply in an hour. Based on the most common reasons VCs close the deck before slide five. Free, no call required.
One note per fortnight with the sharpest VC observations from that week's analysis. Unsubscribe whenever.
Ten business days is less than the gap between two of your fundraising meetings. In that window, you can arrive with the deck, the numbers, and the narrative that make a partner say yes.
