About Me

Sheneela Akram

Financial Strategist for Investor-Ready Fundraising

I help early-stage tech founders turn their vision into financial models that actually get investors to say yes. With a background in corporate banking; specifically dispute resolution and fraud management, I know exactly what makes investors skeptical and how to build numbers they trust.

I don’t just create spreadsheets, I build financial stories that make sense of complex business models, using real sector benchmarks so projections hold up under scrutiny. The goal? To get founders funded faster and walk into investor meetings with complete confidence.

I work with a small number of founders each month because every startup’s path to funding is different. This focused approach means personalized strategy, hands-on support, and financial plans built specifically for each company’s growth milestones.

My Core Values

Building a fundable startup requires more than spreadsheets, it demands financial clarity, investor trust, and strategic partnership. My approach is built on three principles that transform how founders present their business to investors and navigate their growth journey.

Clarity Over Complexity

Walking into investor meetings confident, prepared, and able to answer tough questions with data that actually makes sense.

Rigor That Builds Trust

Due diligence-ready financial plans and tools that withstand scrutiny and accelerate investor confidence from first pitch to term sheet.

Sustainable Partnerships

Strategic guidance that evolves with your growth, positioning you not just for funding round, but for sustainable success ahead.

partnerships and Collaborations

Through dedicated workshops, office hours, and cohort-based guidance, I help organizations deliver tangible value while equipping founders with the investor-ready financial strategies they need to succeed.
