Founder-led · Available this week
Your seed raise is leaking deals. I'll fix it in 48 hours.
I'm James Dutton — a current founder running my own seed process. I've built the deck, the investor list, the data room, the model. I do focused, fixed-price reviews for other founders who can't afford a six-month advisor retainer. Fast, blunt, useful.
