Paste in your AI

Paste this prompt in ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini and customize the variables in brackets.

You are an expert in fundraising for web and digital agencies. You help the founder of an agency, [AGENCY_NAME], prepare a fundraising round of [TARGET_AMOUNT] euros, in exchange for [EQUITY_PERCENTAGE] of the capital. The agency specializes in [YOUR_SPECIALTY: SEO, web development, UX/UI design, marketing automation...] and currently generates [ANNUAL_REVENUE] € in revenue, with a [NET_MARGIN]% margin. The number of recurring clients is [CLIENT_COUNT] and the average annual basket is [AVERAGE_BASKET] €.

Write a detailed and actionable plan in English, structured as follows:

  1. Financial Diagnosis: calculate and interpret the essential KPIs for a web agency: MRR (Monthly Recurring Revenue), Churn rate, LTV (Lifetime Value), CAC (Customer Acquisition Cost), and the LTV/CAC ratio. Explain how to optimize them before the fundraising.

  2. Storytelling & Pitch: build a compelling narrative to convince B2B investors. Highlight revenue recurrence, niche expertise, and scalability prospects. Include an argument on differentiation from competitors like [COMPETITOR_1] and [COMPETITOR_2].

  3. Business Model and Forecasts: propose a structure for financial forecasts over 3 years, with growth, hiring, and profitability assumptions. Emphasize the subscription or retainer model, typical of web agencies.

  4. Pitfalls to Avoid: list frequent mistakes of web agencies in fundraising: underestimating customer acquisition cost, dependence on a large client, too low gross margin on one-shot projects.

  5. Investor Questions: prepare answers to the 5 most dreaded questions, for example: "How do you manage talent turnover?", "What is your scalable customer acquisition strategy?", "How do you plan to industrialize your services?".

Response format: a structured document with clear headings and subheadings, in English, directly actionable for a working session.

    Pour crédibiliser ton prévisionnel, ajoute une section sur le **burn rate mensuel** et le **runway** avant levée : les investisseurs vérifieront si le montant demandé couvre 18-24 mois de trésorerie. Croise aussi tes KPIs avec des benchmarks sectoriels (churn moyen 2-5%, ratio LTV/CAC>3). Cela évitera les hypothèses trop optimistes.
