Trusted by high-growth startups and global tech leaders

Ron Starinsky, Head of Fundraising & Capital Advisory at CMO’vate

Ron Starinsky is a three-time exit serial entrepreneur and talented deal-maker who has sat on every side of the fundraising table. As Co-founder and CEO of ICV, the AI hiring-tech startup later acquired for $21 million by U.S. recruiting firm Hirewell, he took the company from idea to cross-border M&A in just four years, negotiating directly with investors and buyers alike.

Since that success Ron has steered strategic partnerships and capital strategy for additional deep-tech ventures, leading dozens of investment rounds for companies across all sectors and domains.

A former IDF officer, Ron combines disciplined execution with a global network of VCs, family offices, and corporate investors. His impressive track record makes him the natural point-person for founders who need not just advice, but a closer who can turn investor interest into signed term-sheets.

Raise Capital by Selling Your Vision and Not Just Your Product

You’re not just pitching features, you’re selling your team, your market edge, and the future you believe in.

Yet most decks recycle the same slides: generic pain points, overhyped market sizes, and cookie-cutter problem statements.

Investors don’t invest in templates. They back founders who tell a clear, compelling story. We help you craft a narrative that stands out, design a deck that drives real conversations, and deliver a pitch that wins both attention and term sheets.

Raise with Confidence - Even on Your First Try

CMOvate’s fundraising specialists help startups develop impactful investor pitch decks, precise financial projections, and comprehensive fundraising readiness assessments. We manage investor outreach, due diligence support, and guide startups throughout the entire fundraising lifecycle, dramatically increasing the likelihood of a successful funding round.

We’ve sat on both sides of the table.

We’ve worked with dozens of startups before, during, and after their fundraising rounds. We know what VCs look for – and what makes them pass. We’ll help you get your story straight, your numbers right, and your pitch ready.

This isn’t just “pitch deck consulting.”

This is business storytelling meets investor psychology meets strategic marketing.

CMO’vate Startup Fundraising Management Process

Every raise follows the same high-stakes arc (story, numbers, investors, close), but most founders juggle those pieces ad-hoc while still running the company.

Our capital sprint brings order to that chaos. In one repeatable, six-step framework we align your narrative with hard data, package everything investors need, and drive a disciplined outreach schedule that keeps momentum and valuations moving up.

What We Help With

Craft a Story That Resonates

Your startup’s real power lies in the narrative behind it. We go beyond features to uncover why your solution matters, highlight the urgency, and frame your vision so investors see both the problem and the promise.

 

 

Turn Your Deck into a Deal-Maker

Great design is table stakes. We engineer a pitch flow that highlights your strengths, drives home key metrics, and tells a story investors can act on. From slide sequencing to headline hooks, we refine every element to maximize engagement and shorten your path to commitment.

Investor Story Coaching

Master the art of compelling investor communication.

Transform your pitch from presentation to persuasion with expert coaching designed to help you communicate like the leader investors want to back.

Success Stories

Frequently Asked Questions for Startup Fundraising & Investor Outreach.

How long does a typical Seed-to-Series A fundraising round take from prep to signed term-sheet?

Most clients complete the full cycle in 10-14 weeks. Weeks 1-3 focus on story, KPIs, and investment materials; weeks 4-6 on investor targeting and warm intros; weeks 7-10 on meetings and diligence. A term-sheet often lands by week 12, with closing documents signed two to four weeks later.

Seed investors want clear problem-solution fit: paying pilots, >30 % MoM growth, CAC < LTV/3. Series A partners look for scalable economics—ARR $1-3 M, 70-80 % gross margin, churn < 5 % monthly, payback < 12 months. We benchmark your metrics, highlight strengths, and frame gaps so VCs see disciplined execution, not vanity numbers.

We supply the entire investor packet: narrative pitch deck (12-15 slides), one-pager, detailed business plan, dynamic five-year financial model, cap-table scenarios, customer proof points, and a tidy data-room folder structure with tech, IP, market and compliance docs. Everything is formatted to match leading VC diligence checklists so reviews move faster.

We reverse-engineer runway: 18-24 months of hiring, GTM and contingency burn, then layer in milestone valuation inflection points. Using comparable deals, revenue multiples and dilution targets, we propose a raise sized for momentum – not just survival – and coach you on framing a valuation narrative that aligns market comps with your traction curve.

Both. Our network spans 300+ VCs, family offices and strategic angels across the US, Europe and Israel. Where fit exists, we broker direct warm intros; otherwise we equip you with tailored outreach copy, sequencing and CRM tracking. Either way, you see every touchpoint and retain the relationship ownership long-term.

We keep skin in the game. Engagements start with a modest monthly retainer that covers narrative, materials and outreach ops. Upon closing, we earn a 2-3% success fee on new capital raised. This hybrid model aligns incentives: predictable budgeting up front, performance upside only when cash actually hits your bank.
