Yellowtail Raise · Managed service
Our team runs your fundraise on Yellowtail: the investor list, the outreach, warm intros, replies and booking. Before every call you get a brief on who you’re meeting and what they’ll ask. You pitch and close.
Free Investor Snapshot
Send us your website and your deck. We come back with the 20 investors we would approach first, why each one fits, the partner to talk to and the warmest way in, plus the three things we would change in your deck. Then we walk you through it on a short call.

Meeting Prep Brief
Before each call you get one page on the person you are meeting: who they are, what they have backed, what they have said in public lately, the questions they are likely to ask with suggested answers, and the angle we would take.

We set your raise up in Yellowtail as a project and a pipeline, build the full investor list, and sharpen your messaging and positioning with you. You tell us who you already know: current investors, close angels and advisors.
A sequenced campaign goes out early and in batches, so the calls land together. The same campaign asks your network and existing investors for warm intros. Each week we add around five investors, freshly researched from new signals.
Investor calls are booked into a two-week window. You get a Meeting Prep Brief before every one, and we keep answering replies and booking follow-ups.
We support you on terms and follow-ups until the round is agreed. The legal work stays with your lawyer.
Weekly report
One email: who we reached, who replied, the calls booked and the passes, with reasons. Then call analysis from the week’s meeting notes and emails: what went well, what to improve, and what to prepare more for on the next calls.
Call analysis
From this week’s meeting notes and emails
Your current investors, angels and advisors are asked for introductions in the same campaign, so the warm paths run in parallel with the cold outreach rather than after it.
You give us access to your data room and we build a knowledge base on your business from it. When an investor asks a question, the answer is quick and accurate, without waiting on you.
Every message starts from something the investor said or did recently, and why you fit their thesis and cheque size. Never a blast.

{{CONFIRM: plan names and lengths as published}}
No, and nobody honest can. We commit to the work: the list, the outreach, the replies, the briefs and the reporting. Whether an investor invests is their decision.
One fixed fee for the plan, agreed up front and paid in three instalments. We don’t publish it, because we’d rather quote once we’ve heard about your raise.
No. Never a percentage of your round.
We run the campaign for you, and agree at kickoff whether it goes from your inbox or ours. {{CONFIRM: sending inbox}}
No. You tell us who they are when we start, and they stay out of the campaign unless you want a warm intro through one of them.
We use it to build a knowledge base on your business, so investor questions get quick, accurate answers. It is used for your raise and nothing else. {{CONFIRM: data-room retention and deletion}}
