What It Is

Billion $ Story is a startup fundraising coaching service founded by Uli. It is positioned not as a SaaS tool, but as in-depth 1:1 consulting for early-stage founders. The website claims to help founders complete their fundraising story, a Tier-1 Pitch Deck, and an investor outreach system within 2 weeks, with 3 months of follow-up support. Its target fundraising range is mainly US$1 million to US$10 million, covering stages such as Seed and Series A.

Core Features and Process

Its core modules include rebuilding the fundraising vision and narrative, writing and designing a Pitch Deck from scratch, handling objections, crafting an elevator pitch, defining one-line positioning, and designing the cadence for investor outreach and follow-up. The process is divided into Prep Week, Bootcamp Week, and 3 Months Support: the prep week is used to clarify goals, identify gaps in the story, and review past fundraising issues; during the bootcamp week, there are two calls per day, with the founder providing raw input and the consultant refining and creating the materials; over the following three months, the materials are continuously iterated through weekly calls.

Pricing and Service Scope

The website does not publish fixed pricing. It clearly states that this is not a course or a standardized PDF, but a custom quote based on each company’s scope, including a small upfront payment. It does not guarantee fundraising success and does not provide investor introductions. It emphasizes that it is not a placement agent, but a service that helps founders become the kind of people investors want to meet. Therefore, buyers should not treat it as “buying access” or “outsourcing fundraising.”

Pros and Cons

Its strengths are a focused service scope, a clear delivery timeline, and one-on-one support from someone with VC experience who has reviewed a large number of pitch cases. The website also showcases multiple case studies across industries and regions. The drawbacks are that pricing is not transparent, and it lacks the collaboration, permissions, API, integration, and data security information commonly seen in software products. The service is highly dependent on the individual consultant’s capability, and founders still need to invest significant time during the fundraising process.

Who It’s For

It is suitable for founders who have struggled with fundraising, received vague investor feedback, made multiple rounds of Deck revisions without clear progress, or are about to start a Seed or Series A round. It is not suitable for teams that only want to buy investor introductions, hope to fully outsource fundraising, have limited budgets, or are unwilling to adjust their fundraising approach.

Access from China and Alternatives

The website does not provide information on access from mainland China, RMB payment, or localized services, so its accessibility status is unclear. For Chinese teams looking for similar capabilities, options include professional FAs, fundraising consultants, or using tools such as 飞书文档, 腾讯文档, 石墨文档 together with Pitch, Canva, Beautiful.ai, DocSend, and others for creating and distributing fundraising materials.
