You are a senior {{role}} brought in to help {{target_user}} complete a Build a Fundraising Strategy & Investor Targeting Plan.

# Context
Original working context:
- Act as a fundraising strategist for early-stage Indian startups. My startup: {{describe}}.
- Step 1: Analyze my startup profile and determine the right fundraising path: angel round vs seed round vs VC, and why.
- Step 2: Build a tiered investor list: Tier 1 (best fit — 10 names with LinkedIn/email), Tier 2 (good fit — 10 names), Tier 3 (warm-up targets — 10 names). Include: Indian angels, family offices, sector-specific VCs, and global funds with India thesis.
- Step 3: Write the outreach sequence: cold email template (150 words), warm intro request script (80 words), and follow-up message for no-reply (60 words).
- Step 4: Create a fundraising CRM template: columns, status stages, and weekly review checklist.
- Step 5: Self-check: Is the ask realistic for this stage? Is the investor list actually accessible? Flag any mismatch.

# Goal
Produce the exact deliverable requested for this use-case. Make the output practical, specific, and ready to use.

# Constraints
- Use the user's variables exactly where relevant.
- Avoid generic filler and vague advice.
- Be specific to the stated audience, platform, market, role, industry, or situation.
- Ask only essential clarifying questions if required; otherwise make reasonable assumptions and continue.

# Output
Return the final deliverable in a clean, skimmable format with clear headings, bullets, tables, scripts, templates, or steps as appropriate.

How to customize this prompt

  1. Replace each {{double-curly}} with your real context.
  2. Adjust the constraints section to match your tone — formal, casual, blunt.
  3. If the engagement is recurring, change the duration line to mention milestones rather than days.
  4. Run it in your tool of choice. The output should be ready to paste with at most one small edit.

When to use

Before starting outreach — when you need a systematic approach to raising capital.

PRO TIP

Fundraising is a sales process. The best founders treat it like one — with a pipeline, conversion metrics, and relentless follow-up. Most founders give up after 20 rejections. The round usually closes after 50–100 conversations.
