WHAT do we offer at NORTHSTAR
DATA + STRATEGY + STORY + DESIGN + NETWORK = TERM SHEET
1. Funding Strategy
All our projects are led by seasoned venture advisors. Our advisors have themselves raised multiple rounds. We know what it takes to raise funding!
In the onboarding call, Our venture advisors will brief you about funding strategy and we will discuss the ideal angle for the story. Our advisors will be available throughout the project to answer any questions you have about the fundraising plans.
2. Writing & Design
Our talented business storytellers get to work with venture advisors with expertise across multiple industries.
We work using a shared, live document, which allows us to quickly iterate on the outline of the deck.
A first draft is usually delivered in 3 business days, and revisions are delivered within 24 hours.
3. P&L Deep Dive
This is where most of the founders fumble while we help you stand out. Our venture advisors are ex-investment bankers. They can smell bullshit from a mile away. We challenge your assumption to craft an investor-grade financial model for the business.
We keep you honest and don't believe in hockey stick growth. Hockey sticks are better left to the ground.
4. Dry Run
Our venture advisor will help you iron out the gaps. Hop on a call to lay out the pitch script and review your pitch delivery. We simulate a real investor presentation. Our advisors are VCs themselves and they hear plenty of pitches every week. We plan it to the T, so you'll know exactly how to deliver a winning pitch
Our dry run exercise has been instrumental for founders to hit the ground running.

Venture Handle is a highly skilled team. They brought our story to next level. Sri has been very helpful with funding intelligence. Thanks for your services!
Your pitch deck service was really valuable. You've completely changed the narrative. The outcome is really great.
In matter of few days, our pitch moved to next level. I run a 8 figure business. As a founder, our minds are cluttered with many ideas. Venture Handle declutters and crystalizes the story. VCs loved our deck.
