Our experience
Experience from inside the raise.
Blood & Treasure works with startups from the first product through the raise that follows. The startups we’ve helped build have secured funding, won awards and achieved exits totaling more than $75 million.
We’ve seen pitch rehearsals, diligence requests and rounds that stalled over an unanswered question. That experience helps us spot what founders need to resolve before they pitch.

- Founders who knew their weak spots before the investor found them
- Diligence answers ready before the questions arrived
- The slow paperwork started months before it was needed
What went wrong
- A market size that did not survive the first question
- A competitor the deck left out and the investor did not
- Figures that told a different story on different slides
- A close held up by a cap table, an entity or a missing approval
