Raj Shamani, House of X

The starting point

Raj came in with a strong narrative but a deck that buried the story. The early-stage investor read of House of X had product depth but the deck wasn't leading with what made the business fundable.

What we built in Phase 1

• Rebuilt the deck around a sharper wedge and clearer why-now.
• Tightened the financial model to show three-scenario projections tied to specific milestones.
• Three deep-dive consultation calls to pressure-test the narrative against likely investor objections.

What we ran in Phase 2

• Investor mapping focused on tier-1 funds with a thesis fit.
• Personal warm introductions through Vault Catalyst's network rather than blasted outreach.
• Structured follow-up cadence and meeting prep before each investor call.

The outcome

House of X closed a multi-million-dollar round with Lightspeed, Kae Capital, Rainmatter, and the Meesho founders participating. The work in Phase 1 did most of the heavy lifting; Phase 2 turned a tight deck and model into the right rooms.

What Raj said

“Working with Vault was one of the best decisions we made while building our deck. The team brought clarity, structure, and sharpness that made the deck stand out instantly. If you're serious about raising capital, Vault is the partner you need.”
