## Description

Startup growth is often measured by buzzwords, but investors want metrics. This MCP gives you the tools to quantify the tangible benefits of accelerator programs. You can't just say you 'got better funding'; you need to prove it. This connector helps your AI agent calculate exactly how much time you saved reaching Series A, what the actual valuation premium was, and how the program's brand halo improved your access to top-tier investors. By running these calculations, you'll get a clear, data-backed narrative that moves beyond anecdotes. The final `fundraising_summary` tool aggregates all these metrics into one index, making your pitch deck instantly stronger.
