Pipeline playbooks: 15-stage templates by round

Every raise runs on a playbook: an opinionated template laid over the same 15-stage pipeline. Three ship with Lunra:

  • Pre-revenue SAFE: momentum-first. Light diligence, verbals converted to signatures within a day, closing in waves.
  • Seed priced: lead-first. Real diligence with a data room, verbal interest treated as soft until a term sheet exists.
  • Series A diligence-heavy: process-first. Partner meetings, IC prep, and running three funds in parallel so no one controls your clock.

How they apply

A new raise picks its playbook automatically from the instrument (SAFE rounds get the SAFE template, priced rounds get seed priced). Swap any raise's playbook from Edit raise in the workspace.

Swapping relabels the pipeline ladder, its one-line plays, and the close weights. Investors never move: every stage keeps its meaning, so switching templates is instant and safe.
