-
No funding promises. No fluff. No vague advice.

Built for founders who want clarity fast (and will act on it)
-
Includes your Investor Readiness Score (0–100) + Top 5 fixes in order

If investors are going quiet, it’s rarely “the market"
If you’re hearing things like…
-
“Not yet… check back in a few months.”
-
“Interesting, but we need more clarity on…”
-
Strong first conversation… then silence
-
You keep tweaking the deck but nothing changes
… you don’t have a networking problem.
You have an underwriting problem: something in your proof, story, or process doesn’t feel investable yet.
Until that’s fixed, more meetings won’t change the outcome.
Stop guessing what investors want. Get the next best move.

Founder, services business
$2.4m revenue · raising in 6 months
I thought I had a pitch problem. It turned out to be underwriting.
Before the Snapshot, investor conversations were strong, then went quiet.
Angela showed us the real issue in one session: our proof and story weren’t lining up the way investors assess risk. The Readiness Score and ranked fixes were surgical.
Within a week, we stopped polishing the wrong things and rebuilt the narrative and priorities in the right order.
Investor conversations immediately felt more grounded and credible.
The Fundability Score (what investors actually respond to)
This is the same pattern investors use to decide whether to lean in - or quietly pass.
Most founders think they have a pitch problem.
They usually don’t.
Investors make decisions based on a pattern:
-
PROOF: numbers and traction they can trust
-
STORY: a narrative they can understand in 60 seconds
-
PROCESS: professional assets + follow-up cadence
-
FOUNDER READINESS: decision speed + execution under pressure
In your Diagnostic, we score each area and pinpoint exactly what’s blocking confidence.
Stop guessing why investors hesitate.

“Angela is the opposite of fluffy. She’s an operator.
She showed us exactly why investors weren’t taking us seriously — and didn’t let us hide behind “the market.”
We left with a brutal diagnosis, a clear plan, and the assets to back it up. This saved us months of wasted meetings and expensive guessing.

Who’s running this diagnostic
I’m Angela Sedran - MD of Lionbridge Advisory.
I evaluate businesses the way investors do: proof, story, process, and execution under pressure.
This Snapshot is the same diagnostic lens I use to assess founder-led businesses for credibility, readiness, and next-step execution.
No funding promises. No generic advice. Just clarity you can act on.
This is for founders who want clarity fast - and will act on it.
Perfect if:
-
You’re a founder-led business planning to raise in the next 3–9 months or need investor credibility immediately
-
You’re getting “not yet” or silence and you’re sick of guessing
-
You’re willing to share basic numbers (rough is fine)
This is Not for:
-
Anyone seeking done-for-you fundraising
-
Anyone wanting guaranteed introductions
-
Anyone unwilling to execute weekly deliverables
-
Pre-revenue founders with no credible proof plan or willingness to build one

Founder, B2B business preparing for a capital raise
For the first time, fundraising feels like a process, not a panic.
The Diagostic didn’t just tell us what to fix. It gave us the order of operations.
We walked away with a clean narrative, investor-ready metrics, and a 30/60/90 plan we could actually execute.
The biggest shift was confidence: fewer wasted meetings, sharper answers, and a clear next move instead of constant second-guessing.
