## Prompt

```text
Help me prepare for the hard questions investors will ask in my pitch meetings.

**Pitch deck or summary:** [PASTE]
**Traction and key metrics:** [DETAILS with dates]
**Market and competitors:** [WHAT I KNOW]
**Known weak spots:** [e.g. "single founder", "one big customer", "no revenue yet"]
**Round details:** [AMOUNT, instrument, terms so far]
**Previous step (optional):** [PASTE replies from investors so far, so prep targets what they've asked]

Do this:
1. List 25 likely questions grouped by theme: problem and market, product, traction, business model and unit economics, competition, team, go-to-market, the round and use of funds, and risks.
2. For the 10 hardest, draft a strong answer (under 60 words), using only my facts - write [NEED DATA] where I don't have the evidence yet.
3. Point out where my answers or deck are weakest and what would strengthen them before meetings.
4. Give me answers for awkward moments: "what valuation are you raising at?", "who else is in?", "why now?", and "what if a big company copies you?"
5. Run a short mock: ask me 5 questions one at a time, wait for my answer, and give direct feedback on clarity, evidence, and length before moving on.
6. Add a post-meeting debrief template: questions asked, concerns, follow-ups promised, next step.

Be honest - telling me an answer is weak now is more useful than encouragement.
