VC Expectations

What your investors actually want

These aren't nice-to-haves. These are table stakes for fundraising in 2026.

Monthly financials in 48 hours

Not 3 weeks. Your board meeting is Tuesday — are your numbers from last month or last quarter?

Clean GAAP on demand

Due diligence starts with your financials. Auditors and investors need GAAP-compliant statements, not cash-basis exports from entry-level tools.

18-24 month runway

With clear unit economics and scenario modeling. Not a static spreadsheet — a live model updated from your actual data.

LTV:CAC ratio of 3:1+

Tracked continuously from real revenue and spend data, not quarterly estimates in a board deck.

Cap table accuracy

Every SAFE, convertible note, and option grant modeled for your next round. Dilution scenarios in one click.

NRR above 110%

Net revenue retention with cohort visibility. Show investors your existing customers are growing, not just staying.

The Smarter Model

Why hire one accountant when you can hire a firm?

“You shouldn't hire a Controller at $150K. You should hire a firm with ten Controllers across fifty companies — armed with AI that makes each one 10x more effective.”

The advisory firm model gives founders access to senior financial talent at a fraction of the cost. These aren't chatbots — they're experienced CPAs and CFOs who use B1ND's AI-powered platform to do in hours what used to take days. More accurate, better controlled, always supervised by a human who understands your business.

Senior Talent + AI

CFO-level expertise amplified by AI tools — not replaced by them. Humans make the decisions; AI handles the heavy lifting.

No HR Overhead

No recruiting, benefits, turnover, or management. Scale up or down as needed.

Pattern Recognition

Your advisor sees what works across 20-50 similar companies. AI surfaces the patterns; humans apply the judgment.
