Startup CEO
Fundraising, product, people. Your machine.
Judgment is the scarce thing.
01
Fundraising narrative
The deck in sentences. The ask in one line.
Stays off the model. Cap table and pipeline stay local.
02
Investor update
Honest numbers, short, monthly.
Stays off the model. Bank and stripe exports stay on disk.
03
Product brief
What we ship next and why we will not ship the rest.
Stays off the model. Roadmaps stay in the company.
04
Hire / don’t hire
A page that forces the decision.
Stays off the model. CVs stay in the folder.
05
Customer email
The founder’s voice, not a growth template.
Stays off the model. Customer lists stay in the CRM.
06
Competitor notes from your files
Only what you already saved. No live scrape required.
Stays off the model. Notes stay on the laptop.
07
Co-founder memo
The hard topic, on paper, before the walk.
Stays off the model. Equity talk stays off vendors.
08
Grant or RFP first draft
From your last winning packet.
Stays off the model. Budgets stay in finance.
09
Support macros
Answers you already give, retrieved locally.
Stays off the model. Tickets stay in the helpdesk.
10
Runway English
Months left, in a sentence a tired founder can use.
Stays off the model. The model of cash stays in the sheet.
