pitch-narrative

pitch-narrative is a skill for Claude Code from oncesylvia/fundraising-skills. It costs 108 tokens per session (1,172 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A writing guide for shaping a founder's fundraising story: a one-line description, a short elevator pitch, and the story behind the investment round. It focuses on explaining the problem, timing, approach, evidence, founder fit, and amount being raised in plain language.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to write or refine a startup one-liner, elevator pitch, investor introduction, or fundraising narrative.
Why use it?
A unclear story makes investor targeting, introductions, emails, and calls harder because they all depend on the same explanation. This guide helps make that explanation concise and truthful.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

pitch-narrative scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 12d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Pitch narrative

A fuzzy story makes every other step harder — targeting, emails, intros, and calls all reuse the same few sentences. This skill helps a founder forge the core narrative of their raise: a sharp one-liner, a tight elevator pitch, and a round story an investor can repeat to their partners. Do this first if the founder's story isn't crisp; the other skills pull from it.

Read shared/references/outreach-ethics.md — truthful traction applies to the narrative too. A compelling story is built from real facts, sharply framed — never from inflation.

What we're producing

  1. The one-liner (one sentence) — what you do, for whom, the wedge. Plain language, no buzzwords, understandable by a smart outsider. This is the subject-line and intro-blurb seed.

    "We help without ."

  2. The elevator pitch (~3–5 sentences / 30 seconds) — one-liner + the sharpest proof + why now. The version for a hallway or the top of a call.

  3. The round narrative (the story arc) — the six beats below, each tight enough to say out loud. This is what feeds the deck, the email, and the call.

The six beats (see references/narrative-frameworks.md)

  1. Problem — a real, specific pain for a specific customer. Concrete > grand.
  2. Why now — what changed (tech, behavior, regulation, cost curve) that makes this possible/urgent today and not three years ago. Investors fund timing.
  3. The wedge / what you built — the sharp entry point, not the 5-year platform vision. What you do first, and why it's a knife not a spoon.
  4. Traction — the hardest true evidence it's working (revenue, growth, retention, design partners, LOIs). Lead with rate of change.
  5. Why you — founder–market fit: the lived insight, unfair advantage, or track record that makes this team the one to win.
  6. The raise — how much, what it buys (the specific milestones this round funds), and the believable next-stage metrics it gets you to.
