Let’s dive in.

1. What Is Capitaly and Why Does It Exist?

Capitaly is a founder-first platform built to help startups raise capital at the speed of AI.

It combines:

• A tactical newsletter packed with investor-ready resources
• A founder community of peers raising from pre-seed to Series A
• AI-driven tools to write pitch decks, emails, memos, and more
• Live pitch feedback, curated investor lists, and launch playbooks

If you’re tired of vague startup advice and need a real system for getting funded—Capitaly was built for you.

2. Who Should Join Capitaly Right Now?

Join if you are:

• Raising a pre-seed, seed, or Series A round in the next 1–3 months
• Stuck on investor outreach or pitch clarity
• Confused by term sheets or capital strategy
• Tired of going it alone

These founders get the most ROI from day one.

3. Who Should Wait (Or Just Subscribe for Now)?

You might want to wait if you:

• Are still in idea validation or MVP build
• Don’t plan to raise capital within 6 months
• Haven’t committed to fundraising yet

If that’s you, subscribe to the Substack and soak in the playbooks until you’re ready.
