We have developed a proof of concept (POC) and are in discussions with two universities to run a pilot program. Now, we are seeking an experienced Head of Fundraising to lead our investment efforts—raising our seed round to complete the MVP and preparing for a larger Series A to scale globally.

3. Expertise in Startup Finance & Negotiation – Deep understanding of term sheets, cap tables, equity structures, and valuation methods.
