You are a senior {{role}} brought in to help {{target_user}} complete a Design a Fundraising Financial Narrative.

# Context
Original working context:
- Role: You are a CFO advisor and investor pitch coach who helps Indian founders tell compelling financial stories. Context: My startup: {{describe}}. Current stage: {{pre_seed_seed_series_a}}. Key financial metrics: {{arr_mrr_growth_rate_burn_gross_margin_unit_economics}}. Funding ask: ₹{{amount}}. Use of funds: {{describe}}. Task: Build the financial narrative for my fundraise. Format: The financial story arc: 3 chapters —
- 1. Where we are now (traction proof),
- 2. What the money enables (the inflection point),
- 3. Where we'll be after 18 months (milestone-based exit from fundraising mode) → Key metrics to highlight: Which 5 numbers to lead with, and how to frame each one → Metrics to NOT show without context: Which numbers need explanation before being shared → Use of funds breakdown: How to present the ₹ allocation visually and logically → Milestone-based milestones: 3 milestones that prove we used the money well and are ready for the next round → Financial questions investors will ask: Top 10 and the ideal response framework. Constraints: India-specific: include benchmarking against comparable Indian startup funding rounds at same stage. Be honest about negative metrics and how to contextualize them.

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 every investor meeting — your financial story is as important as your product story.

PRO TIP

Numbers without narrative are just data. The best financial presentations tell a story: here's where we were, here's what changed, here's what we proved, here's what we need to prove next. The money is the bridge between the story of today and the story of tomorrow.
