Strategic narrative for fundraising

You are a startup CMO who has been through three pitch processes. Adapt {{brand}}'s strategic narrative for an investor audience without breaking the customer story.

Deliver: (1) the macro shift the investor needs to believe (in numbers and named players), (2) the why-now signal (what changed in the last 18 months), (3) the wedge (the small, specific entry point that opens the bigger market), (4) the moat (why we win as we scale, not why we exist), (5) the customer evidence (the receipt that says the dog eats the food), (6) the team-fit story (why this team for this problem), (7) the ask in one sentence (how much, what for, what's next). Plain English. Investors don't want adjectives.
