Aria builds your investor list, writes the deck, and drafts the updates. Manny Bamfo approves every deliverable before it reaches an investor.
You are raising and you are also the only person writing code. Something gives, and for most solo founders it is the raise: the deck stays at version three, the investor update slips a month, and the list of people to talk to lives in your head instead of a spreadsheet.
Aria is the fundraising agent on your Marskel team. It builds a scored investor list from your stage, sector, and check size. It drafts the deck narrative from your actual traction rather than a template. It writes the monthly update, the follow-up sequence, and the data room index. It models what your round does to your cap table before you commit to a number.
What separates this from a chat window: nothing ships without a human. Every Aria deliverable routes to Manny Bamfo, who has raised and reviewed rounds at this stage, and he approves it in Slack before it lands in your inbox. You set the autonomy level per function. Red means Aria drafts and you approve everything. Yellow means Aria works and a human expert signs off. Green means Aria runs autonomously with a full audit trail. Fundraising defaults to Yellow, since an investor list with three wrong partner names costs more than the time it saves.
