One ranked list, built from every channel a small business actually runs on. Corvan reads WhatsApp, Telegram, email, calendar and meetings as a single memory, then surfaces what moves money. It ranks rather than summarises, and never sends anything without approval.
A solo founder raising against well-funded competition.
Peter had built Corvan alone. Twelve months full-time, unsalaried, twenty thousand dollars of his own money, and a working product with paying workspaces. He had also been the customer: two years running a restaurant off WhatsApp, which is exactly the buyer Corvan sells to.
The difficulty was the raise itself. A single founder asking for $200k against Microsoft Copilot and a field of funded competitors has to be precise about where the defensible ground actually is. Every assumption behind the model invites a question, and a solo founder has nobody else in the room to answer them.
We built the documents, then pressure-tested every number he would be challenged on.
Nine documents. One consistent story.
Every number in the deck traces back to the model. Every claim in the plan is supported. That consistency is what survives diligence.
“Working with Mohamed on InvestorReady was an eye-opener. The initial questionnaire and the documents I provided forced me to take a structured look at my existing business plan, and that process revealed inconsistencies I hadn’t seen. Together we fixed them and built a pitch deck that’s actually investor-ready. I can’t recommend the program highly enough.”
