Building a data room used to require either expensive advisors or a founder with an investment banking or consulting pedigree. In this talk, Fatima draws on her background in both to break down what actually matters in pre-seed and seed fundraising documents — from market sizing to financial models to sensitivity tables. She shares how AI tools have fundamentally changed the timeline and accessibility of this work, walking through a real example of taking a startup from no market sizing to a compelling data room in three days, helping them close a $3M pre-seed round.
