Referral to coach for fundraising for pre-revenue seed capital?
Hi! I'm pre-revenue but there's a buzz in the corporate events industry about my AI Agent MVP. Who do you recommend to help me get my slide deck and financials ready for fundraising? What is the best way to fundraise for seed capital when pre-revenue? Family Offices in the Middle East (because the US is sluggish on startup investing right now)? "Go Fund Me" type sites for B2B products? Something else?

And as an aside, if you can, just get customers first instead of raising. Raising is best done either when it's impossible to not raise, or when you already have multiple investors offering you money.
Then once you have nice revenue and customer references, cold email investors who've invested in similar companies to yours. Or, maybe you'll see that you don't need to raise because you're getting enough money from customers.
