Arrive with an AI startup idea. Leave with the artifacts a VC will actually read.Most AI founders spend months building their deck but never nail the narrative. In four hours, you'll work alongside a former VC who has evaluated 200+ AI startups and a founder who raised $100M to draft the artifacts that actually move VCs.You walk away with five first-draft artifacts:<ol><li>Positioning thesis one sentence + supporting paragraph, plus a list of 15–25 named target partners (not firms)</li><li>Long-form pitch narrative your deck in prose: problem, wedge, why now, moat, market sizing</li><li>Deck outline + 3–4 polished slides complete slide-by-slide structure, with the hero, traction, and architecture slides built in Google AI Studio</li><li>One-pager investor memo the document your VC champion forwards internally to win the Monday partner meeting</li><li>Reusable Claude narrative skill yours to keep, regenerates your story as it evolves</li></ol>Capped at 15 founders so every single person gets a live 60-second pitch slot and recorded feedback. This is the main reason we won't open more seats.This is a build session, not a lecture. Come create the artifacts with us, the term sheet part is still on you.
