Intro: You <> Sequoia

Screenshot_2026-07-14.png

One place. Built for everything fundraising related.

Your raise deserves better than a spreadsheet.

Your investor relationships, deck, data room, and cap table, pulled out of a dozen tabs and put in one place that stays current on its own.

The problem

This summer, I talked to founders across the Midwest and both coasts. Backed by names like YC and a16z.

The pattern was the same everywhere.

Fundraising sucks.

Here's what founders said

The target list is its own project.

Almost every founder said some version of the same thing: figuring out who to pitch and finding a way in took longer than anything else about the raise.

Conversations get lost in the noise.

Between calls, follow-ups, and notes scattered across tools, it's easy to lose track of where a conversation left off, or who still owes who a reply.

No real feedback loop.

Founders were recording pitch calls with no system turning any of it into insight, so the same objections kept resurfacing meeting after meeting.

Legal and cap table chaos hits at the worst time.

Between term sheet and wire, one founder watched legal fees climb past six figures just trying to get access to his own documents in a disorganized shared folder.

Current solution

Notion or a spreadsheet

Free. Not built for fundraising.

HubSpot

Powerful. Built for a sales team closing hundreds of deals. Not a founder closing one round.

Figuring out who to pitch, how to get the meeting, and how to manage the relationship should not feel like a never ending labyrinth.

How do I find these investors?

How do I know if they would actually invest in my startup?

And who is actively writing checks right now?

What is missing is a tool that answers this before you spend two weeks going back and forth with an investor who was never writing checks at all.

What we're building

Two tools built specifically for a fundraise.

Stacked investor detail view showing thesis, activity, and contacts

The Almanac

Live end of 2026

The tool that tells you who is actually likely to invest.

The Almanac reviews an investor's past deals and shows you the startups they have actually backed. So you no longer have to guess, or waste time meeting with a firm that was never going to invest in you.

Founder CRM

Live early 2027

A CRM that actually understands what a raise looks like.

Integrated with your email and your meeting notetaker, it automatically pulls the small tasks that get lost and holds you accountable to what you have promised. A strong foundation is fundamental to your fundraising success. Without it, your raise is as flimsy as a house of cards.

Every firm, in full

Not just a name in a column. The whole relationship.

Thesis, connection history, every touchpoint, every contact at the firm. The context you'd normally be digging out of old email threads right before a call, already sitting there when you open it.

The vision

The foundation, not the ceiling.

The full vision is an end to end fundraising platform. A reliable place to go from the moment you have the thought “I need money” to having the money in your bank account.

Why I'm building this

I learned about startups and the VC world in high school.

I loved the idea of being an angel or a VC. Empowering founders with new ideas to build the next Google or Amazon.

I was so eager that I did not wait until I had a great idea to start a company. I opened an ecommerce business as a junior in high school, just to get a taste of entrepreneurship and discover what it feels like to build a brand new company.

I joined Bearcat Ventures, University of Cincinnati's student VC fund, my freshman year because I was excited to be at the forefront of discovering new innovations, even though I'm just a student.

This platform connects back to my passion of helping people build the next big thing.

I want founders in the room while I build this. I want to hear what's actually not working for you, and help make fundraising a little easier. A little less of a headache.

Every founder goes through their own version of fundraising hell.

Stacked is the purpose built, smart, and inexpensive tool made to help you through it.

I'm building this for founders, with founders. If that's you, I'd love to get your feedback.
