Capital Raise Investor Pipeline Calculator
Work back from your raise target to the number of investors, diligence conversations, meetings and outreach you need, and the weekly pace to hit it on time. Free, no login, and nothing you type leaves your browser.
How the Calculator Works
Dividing the target by your average check gives the number of investors you need. Each conversion rate is then applied in reverse to find how many investors must reach diligence, how many meetings that takes and how much outreach fills those meetings. The weekly pace spreads the work over your timeline.
The default rates are illustrations; replace them with your own numbers. Raising faster usually comes from better targeting and a sharper one-liner, two topics in Richard's Capital Raising book and in how to raise capital from family offices.
