Clarity Report
Series A — timing the raise
Executive Summary
The Council aligned on direction — raise — and split only on timing. The decision is more about commitment than analysis. A one-page memo inside 72 hours unlocks the rest of the calendar quarter.
Decision
Whether to open the Series A round in Q1 or wait one quarter for the next cohort of revenue data.
Context
Pre-launch of new product line. 38% QoQ growth. 18 months runway. Founder confidence pre-session: 5/10.
Blind Spots
- · Treating the raise as a one-shot decision; it is actually a sequence of three.
- · Underweighting the cost of a slow round on team morale.
- · Two stated risks are the same risk in different clothes.
Risks
- · Delaying past the natural window costs more than a wrong call.
- · Hidden stakeholders (existing board) not yet looped in on timing.
Council Consensus
Two of three Council members recommended opening the round inside 30 days. The third recommended waiting only if the new product line ships on schedule.
Recommendations
- · Open the round in 21 days with the current data.
- · Set a written reversal trigger: ship slip > 30 days → pause.
- · Pre-brief board chair before partners outreach.
Next Actions
- · Draft one-page decision memo in 48 hours.
- · Send to 2 Council members for review.
- · Book chairperson 1:1.
Confidence before 5/10
Confidence after 8/10
