Guide for startup fundraising advisors

Startup fundraising advisor? Want founders to trust you before the first call?

You know how to get a round closed. Here is how to get founders to find you: short videos that answer one fundraising question each, posted on YouTube Shorts, TikTok and Reels. No camera, no editor, no editing skills. This page gives you the prompt, 30 video ideas and a ready first script.

We get it

You're a startup fundraising advisor, not a video editor. You don't need to become one.

You can spot a broken cap table in seconds and explain dilution in your sleep. But video probably felt like a different job: cameras, lights, timelines, cutting, captions, music. So it stayed on the "someday" list.

With jajavideo you write (or let AI write) what you want to say. That's it. The built-in director splits it into scenes, picks a visual for every sentence, adds a natural voice-over, music and animated captions. You don't need to be a good speaker or writer either. The prompt on this page writes the scripts from your expertise. You just check that the advice is right.

Why video works for fundraising advisors

Founders don't know what investors are thinking. A 45-second video fixes that.

Most founders pick the advisor they already trust, not the one with the longest track record page. Video lets them learn from you before they ever book a call.

Trust before the intro call

A founder who watched ten of your answers already believes you understand their round. The call becomes a conversation instead of a pitch.

You stand out in a crowded field

Plenty of advisors have a website and a newsletter. Very few post useful short videos about the actual mechanics of raising. Specific answers, posted steadily, put you ahead of most of them.

Explain the invisible

Fundraising is a process founders can't see: pipeline, momentum, a data room, a lead investor. A short that shows why a warm intro beats a cold email makes the value concrete.

Practice what you advise

Videos give you more places to be found: YouTube, TikTok, Reels, LinkedIn and your own pages. That is visibility, which is the whole point of a raise.

Step by step

From zero to a week of fundraising videos in one sitting

Copy the fundraising prompt below

Add your name, your market and who your founders are. Your details go straight into the prompt.

Paste it into Claude, ChatGPT or Gemini

You get 10 scripts, each answering one specific fundraising question, each opening with a hook and ending with your name.

Check the advice like you'd check a client's deck

You're the expert. Fix anything that's outdated or not how you'd say it. Five minutes.

Paste all 10 into jajavideo's Bulk tab

Sign up free, open Bulk, paste. The AAA lines split them into 10 separate videos.

Pick a voice, press Generate, then post or schedule

Each video is a vertical MP4 for Shorts, TikTok, Reels and Facebook. Post them at your own pace, or schedule them on the platforms so one goes live each week while you work.

The format

Plain text, a Title: line, AAA between scripts

No scenes, no visual directions. Just what should be said. This is exactly what you paste:

Paste into jajavideo → Bulk
Title: Fundraising tip: why "we have no competitors" loses the room
When an investor asks who your competitors are, never say nobody. That answer doesn't sound confident, it sounds like you haven't looked. Investors hear it every week and it makes them doubt the rest of your deck. Every company has competition, even if it's a spreadsheet or doing nothing. Name two or three real alternatives, then say in one sentence why you win for a specific customer. If you sell scheduling software to clinics, your competitor might be the front desk's paper diary. That's a real answer, and it shows you understand the buyer. Want a free deck review? Search Northline Ventures on Google.

Copy, paste, done

The fundraising prompt: 10 expert scripts in one go

Fill in your details. The prompt updates as you type. Copy it into any AI chat and paste the answer straight into jajavideo.

Prompt for Claude · ChatGPT · Gemini
You are an expert short-form video scriptwriter and an experienced startup fundraising advisor. Write 10 scripts for faceless YouTube Shorts, TikTok and Reels for a startup fundraising advisor.

About me:
- Name or firm: [YOUR NAME OR FIRM]
- City or market: online, no specific city
- My ideal clients: pre-seed and seed founders raising a first round
- My focus: pitch deck and narrative
- Language of the scripts: English

Rules for every script:
1. Teach ONE specific, practical fundraising point that a founder can understand and act on. No generic ads like "Want to raise your round? Call me".
2. The first sentence is the hook: a common fundraising mistake, a myth, or a real question founders ask. It must keep the viewer watching past the first 3 seconds.
3. 90 to 130 words of flowing spoken narration (about 30 to 50 seconds). Plain language a founder understands, short sentences. No jargon without a one-line explanation. No scene directions, emojis, lists or headings.
4. Include one concrete detail: a number, a slide, a term, a real situation.
5. Only advice that is accurate today. No promises of funding, valuations or results, and no guarantees that any investor will say yes.
6. End with this sentence: "Want a free deck review? Search [YOUR NAME OR FIRM] on Google.". Write any website as words, for example "example dot com".
7. Each script covers a different topic. Mix mistakes, myths, founder questions, quick how-tos, investor outreach and term sheets.

Format (follow exactly):
- Start each script with one line: Title: [topic]: [hook]. The title is not read aloud.
- Then the narration as one paragraph.
- After each script, a line that contains only AAA.

Output only the 10 scripts in this format, nothing before or after. I will paste them straight into jajavideo.

Need the next batch? Reply in the same chat: "Write 10 more, completely different questions."

Made with this prompt

Three real fundraising videos, made on jajavideo

Each one is a single answer, a natural voice, a visual for every sentence and the credit at the end. Open a script to read exactly what was pasted.

Video 1 · Why "we have no competitors" loses the room

Read the script

Title: Fundraising tip: why "we have no competitors" loses the roomWhen an investor asks who your competitors are, never say nobody. That answer doesn't sound confident, it sounds like you haven't looked. Investors hear it every week and it makes them doubt the rest of your deck. Every company has competition, even if it's a spreadsheet or doing nothing. Name two or three real alternatives, then say in one sentence why you win for a specific customer. If you sell scheduling software to clinics, your competitor might be the front desk's paper diary. That's a real answer, and it shows you understand the buyer. Want a free deck review? Search Northline Ventures on Google.

Video 2 · The slide investors look for first

Read the script

Title: Fundraising tip: the slide investors look for before your productMost founders build their deck around the product. Investors usually scroll past it to find one slide first: the team. They are asking a simple question, why are you the person to build this, and why now. If that slide is three logos and a job title, you are leaving the strongest argument on the table. Add one line per founder about what you did before that matters for this problem, and one line on why this market is moving today. A founder who ran hospital billing for six years is a different bet from a founder who read about it. Rewrite that slide tonight. Want a free deck review? Search Northline Ventures on Google.

Video 3 · Why a cold email with a deck attached gets ignored

Read the script

Title: Investor outreach: why a cold email with the deck attached gets ignoredFounders send a cold email with the deck attached and wonder why nobody replies. Think about what you are asking. You want an investor to open a file, read ten slides and form an opinion, from a stranger, with no context. Most won't. Instead, write three sentences: what you do, the one number that shows traction, and the specific reason you are writing to them. Then ask for a short call, not for money. Attach nothing on the first email. If they are interested, they will ask for the deck. That one change turns a file drop into a conversation. Want help with your outreach?

Never run out

30 fundraising video ideas founders actually search for

Each one is a full video. Paste any line into the prompt, or into Jaja inside jajavideo, and ask for a script.

Mistakes
  1. Saying "we have no competitors"

  3. Asking for money in the first cold email
  4. Attaching the deck before anyone asked for it
  5. A cap table nobody can explain
  6. Metrics that change definition every month
  7. Raising without a clear use of funds

  10. "Should I raise now or wait six months?"
Quick how-tos

  9. Build a simple monthly investor update
  10. Create momentum with a soft circle of interest

Your fundraising instinct applies here too

What makes a Short get watched

Think of it as a pitch. The title and first line are your hook and your one-liner.

The first 3 seconds are your one-liner

Open with the mistake, the myth or the founder question. If the first sentence doesn't earn the reason to keep watching, nothing after it is seen.

Title as Topic: hook

"Fundraising tip: why 'we have no competitors' loses the room" tells the viewer and the platform exactly who it's for.

One answer per video

Same rule as one question per slide. Three tips in 45 seconds means none sticks in the founder's memory.

Help first, credit last

No "Raising a round? Book a call!" openers. The answer earns attention. Your name in the last line earns the follow-up search.

Test hooks like you test subject lines

Make the same answer with three different first sentences. Keep the hook that holds viewers and reuse that pattern.

More videos, more founders who know you

You tell founders a raise takes months. So does building an audience. You don't have to post daily, but the more useful videos you put out, the more founders learn your name. Make a batch in one sitting and schedule them.

Think bigger

More than marketing: new ways to earn with video

When a finished video costs you a couple of minutes, video stops being a cost and becomes something you can sell.

Add "a video every week" to your advisory packages

Founders raising a round need to be visible to investors, and most of them dread being on camera. Offer weekly Shorts as an add-on: you write the answers with the prompt, jajavideo makes the videos, and you deliver them under the founder's brand. Commercial use is included on every plan, and on Unlimited you can put your own logo on the videos.

Example: 5 founder clients × 8 videos a month = 40 videos
Your cost on Unlimited: $27 a month in total
Your price: whatever 8 videos a month is worth to your clients

Video for your clients' investor updates

Turn a founder's monthly update into a 60-second video they can send to their investor list. It gets watched far more often than a long email.

Turn every workshop into Shorts

Paste your notes from a fundraising workshop into the prompt and get ten scripts from it. Same preparation, many more places to be found.

Win founders in their language

Clients raising in other markets? Make their advice in Spanish, Japanese or Arabic. jajavideo speaks 74 languages, so you can offer what most advisors can't.

Deck reviews that sell themselves

Send a prospect a short video explaining the top three problems in their deck. It's more memorable than a PDF and it shows your work in seconds.

Never made a video before? Start here

Every question a first-timer asks, answered

You've never edited a video and never used a system like this. That's fine. Most people who use jajavideo hadn't either. Pick any question below. Can't find yours? Ask Jaja, our agent.

Getting started

I have never edited a video in my life. Can I really do this?

Yes. You never open an editing program, never cut anything and never touch a timeline. You paste text into a box, pick a voice, and press Generate. jajavideo does every video step for you: it splits your text into scenes, picks a picture or clip for every sentence, records the voice-over, adds music and puts animated captions on screen. If you can copy and paste, you can make a video.

What exactly do I need before I start?

Three things: an email or Google account to sign up, a few sentences about a fundraising topic (or the prompt on this page to write them), and a few minutes. No camera, microphone, software, design skills or credit card.

How do I sign up?

Go to jajavideo.com and press "Continue with Google". It takes about 10 seconds. You can also sign up with an email address. No card is asked for.

What's the very first thing I should do after I sign up?

Make one test video before anything else. Open the dashboard, stay on the Single tab, and paste this:

Title: Fundraising tip: the metric investors ask about first
Most founders walk into a first investor meeting with a pitch deck and no answer to one question: what does your retention look like? Investors know growth can be bought, but retention is hard to fake. Before you raise, pull your cohort data and be ready to explain what happens to a customer in month three, month six and month twelve. If the numbers are weak, say so and explain what you're changing. Search Northline Fundraising on Google.

Choose English and any voice, press Generate, and in a couple of minutes you'll see your first finished video. After that, everything else on this page will make sense.

How long until I have my first video?

Usually a couple of minutes per video. If many people are making videos at the same moment it can take a bit longer. You can close the tab: you'll get an email the moment it's ready.

Do I need to install anything?

No. Everything runs in your browser, on a computer or a phone.

Scripts: what the video says

What is a "script"?

Just the words the voice will say in the video. Nothing technical. For a 30–50 second video that's about 90–130 words, roughly one short paragraph.

I'm not a writer or a speaker. Who writes the scripts?

You don't have to. You have three easy options. One: copy the fundraising prompt on this page into Claude, ChatGPT or Gemini, and it writes 10 scripts for you. Two: inside jajavideo, type one line like "a tip about cap table mistakes first-time founders make" and press ✨ Write script. Three: ask Jaja, the script assistant, for ideas in plain words. Your only job is to read the result and make sure the fundraising advice is correct.

What's the "Title:" line for?

It names your video so you can find it later. It is never read aloud and never shown in the video. Use the pattern Topic: hook, for example Title: Fundraising myth: investors read the whole deck.

Do I write anything about the pictures or scenes?

No. Write only what should be said. jajavideo's built-in director reads your sentences and chooses a matching visual for each one by itself.

How do I make people contact me at the end?

Make the last sentence your credit, for example "Search Northline Fundraising on Google." The voice reads it out. If you mention a website, write it as words, "northline dot com", so the voice says it correctly. Jaja can also add the ending for you if you tell it your website or phone number.

Can I fix a word or a sentence the AI wrote?

Of course. It's just text. Change anything before you paste it into jajavideo. If you notice a problem after the video is made, edit the text and make it again.

What if I run out of ideas?

Use the 30 ideas on this page, write down the questions founders ask you on calls, or reply to the AI in the same chat: "Write 10 more, completely different tips." You can also paste one of your own blog posts and ask for five scripts based on it.

Bulk: many videos in one paste

What is Bulk, in simple words?

Bulk lets you paste several scripts at once and get a separate video for each one. Instead of making ten videos one by one, you paste ten scripts in one go and come back to ten finished videos.

How does jajavideo know where one video ends and the next starts?

Put a line with only AAA between scripts. Each script starts with its own Title: line. Here is the smallest possible example, 3 scripts that become 3 videos:

Title: Fundraising tip: answer the objection behind the objection
When an investor says your valuation is too high, the real worry is often something else, like the size of your round or how long the money lasts. Ask a simple follow-up: what would make this number comfortable for you? The answer tells you whether to adjust the price or explain the plan behind it. Search Northline Fundraising on Google.
AAA
Title: Fundraising myth: a warm intro guarantees a meeting
A warm intro gets your email opened, not a term sheet. Investors still want to see traction, a clear market and a reason to believe you can build it. Treat the intro as the start of the work, not the finish. Send a short note with three numbers that matter and one clear ask. Search Northline Fundraising on Google.
AAA
Title: Fundraising tip: why your data room should exist before you raise
Founders often start building the data room after an investor asks for it, and the delay costs momentum. Put the basics together early: incorporation documents, cap table, financial model, key contracts and your last twelve months of metrics. A clean folder signals that you run a tight process, and it lets diligence move while the conversation is still warm. Search Northline Fundraising on Google.

Real scripts should be longer (90–130 words), but that's the whole idea: Title, text, AAA, repeat.

Where do I paste them?

In the dashboard, click the Bulk tab (next to Single), paste everything into the big box, choose the language and voice, and press Generate. All videos use the same voice and caption style.

Do I have to write "AAA" myself?

No, if you use the prompt on this page. It already tells the AI to put AAA between scripts, so you copy the AI's answer and paste it as it is.

I forgot the AAA lines. What happens?

If each script starts with its own "Title:" line, jajavideo still splits them correctly. AAA is simply the safest way to be sure.

Can I mix languages in one Bulk paste?

It's best to paste one language at a time, so every video gets a voice that matches. Make the English batch, then the Spanish batch.

Where do I find all the videos afterwards?

On your Videos page. Each one appears as soon as it's ready, and you get an email when they're done. Download them any time within 30 days.

The video itself

Will my face or voice be in the video?

No. The videos are faceless: real images and short clips, a natural AI voice-over, music and captions. Nobody appears on camera, and you never record your voice.

Can I choose the voice and the captions?

Yes. Choose from 300+ natural voices in 74 languages, and from 5 caption styles: Classic, Karaoke, Word Pop, Box Highlight or Two-line.

What if I don't like how a video came out?

Press "Make it again — free". It's made again from the same script with fresh visuals, and it never counts against your free videos.

How long can a video be?

Shorts can run up to about 3 minutes of narration, but 30–60 seconds usually works best. The Unlimited + Long plan adds landscape YouTube videos up to 4 minutes.

What format is the video?

A vertical 1080×1920 MP4, the standard size for YouTube Shorts, TikTok, Instagram Reels and Facebook. Make it once, post it everywhere.

Will faceless videos make me look less professional?

Not when each video answers a real question a founder is already asking. People judge a short by whether it was worth their time. A clear tip about term sheets or runway reads as expertise, and your name is at the end.

Posting & scheduling

Do I have to post a video every day?

No. Post at the pace that suits you. The simple rule is: the more useful videos you put out, the more potential clients learn your name. Two or three a week is a fine start. Steady beats occasional bursts.

I don't have time to upload every day. What can I do?

Schedule them. Make a batch of videos in one sitting with Bulk, then use the scheduling tools that the platforms already give you for free, so one video goes live each day (or every other day) while you work.

  • YouTube: upload in YouTube Studio and choose "Schedule" instead of "Public", then pick the date and time.
  • Instagram and Facebook: Meta Business Suite lets you schedule Reels ahead of time.
  • TikTok: on the TikTok website you can set a future posting time when you upload.

One hour on Sunday can fill the whole week. Platform menus change from time to time, so look for the "Schedule" option when you upload.

Where should I post first?

Start with one platform you already use or where your clients are, often YouTube Shorts or Instagram. Once that's a habit, post the same videos on the others. They're already the right size.

What should I write in the description?

One or two sentences about the tip, your business name, and how to contact you. On YouTube, add a link to your website if your channel allows links.

Does jajavideo upload the videos for me?

No. You download each video and post it yourself, so you stay in control of your accounts.

Results

How soon will I get clients from this?

Nobody can promise that, and we won't. Like fundraising itself, video builds up over time. Give it a steady few months, look at which topics get watched, and make more like those.

How do I know what's working?

Each platform shows you views and how long people watched. Look for videos that keep people watching past the first few seconds, and repeat their topic and opening style.

My first videos got few views. Did I do something wrong?

Probably not. New accounts often start slowly while the platform learns who your videos are for. Keep posting at your own pace, make your first sentence stronger, and keep each video to one clear tip.

Do these videos help founders trust me?

They show how you think about rounds, dilution and investor conversations, which is what a founder is trying to judge before a first call. No video guarantees a mandate, so don't promise one. Use them to start conversations, not to close them.

Clients & business

Can I make videos for my clients and charge for them?

Yes. Commercial use is included on every plan, so you can publish videos on your clients' accounts and sell video as part of your advisory packages.

Can I put my own logo on the videos?

Yes, on the Unlimited plans. Every video is watermark-free, or carries your own logo if you want it.

Can I make videos in my clients' languages?

Yes, in 74 languages including right-to-left ones like Arabic, Persian and Urdu. Ask the prompt to write in that language, then pick a voice in the same language.

Free plan & price

Is it really free?

Yes. Every day you get 5 completely watermark-free videos, about 150 a month, with no card. After those 5, you can keep making videos with a small "Made with jajavideo" credit.

When do my 5 free videos reset?

Every day at 00:00 UTC.

Do failed videos or redos count?

No. Only finished videos count, and "Make it again" is always free.

What do the paid plans add?

Unlimited ($27/month): unlimited watermark-free videos, your own logo, priority in the queue. Unlimited + Long ($47/month): everything in Unlimited plus landscape videos up to 4 minutes. Both are monthly PayPal subscriptions you can cancel any time.
