The Advisor: Ask Me Anything

Created by Katie Dunn: angel investor, board director, and former $10B+ dealmaker turned founder cheerleader.

You've got one shot to make investors care—don't waste it.

The Advisor is here to help you nail it.

Katie spent over 25 years in finance, closing billions in deals, before backing early-stage founders full-time. She's made 30+ angel investments, sits on boards, and speaks regularly about what it really takes to raise capital, scale, and lead with confidence.

The Masthead Strategy is built for early-stage founders—especially those at the pre-seed or seed stage—who feel unsure about how to fundraise, grow their business, or find the right support. If you're overwhelmed, don't have a network, or need straight answers without jargon or fluff, you're in the right place.

Want me to listen to your pitch? Start a call! Want me to review your deck? Upload a PDF! (I can't read links yet.) Want me to pressure test your idea? Lay it on me!

Not sure what a SAFE is? Confused about TAM vs. SAM? Want help thinking through your pricing model, growth strategy, or need help deciding if you should even raise money?

The Advisor gives you clear, practical answers.

Consider this your permission to start.
