💡 Insights & Next Actions
Most urgent: GATE 0 (claim safety) blocks every external deck — re-anchor the EU AI Act line off Aug 2 2026 (omnibus deferred high-risk to Dec 2027) before the deck leaves. Then GATE 1 (structure + instrument, Jun 26): no investor outreach until locked.
Biggest objection to pre-empt: solo founder + $8M pre with no LOIs yet. The counter is qualified LOIs — that is why GATE 2 (≥2 LOIs by Sep 30) gates the priced process; below that, pivot to the YC + operator-angel bridge.
This week: (1) fix the 3 Gate-0 deck claims; (2) engage cross-border counsel on entity/instrument + IP-assignment; (3) start the Lane A/B LOI sprint Monday — the weekly check-in is already scheduled.
Sequencing rule: Tier-1 meetings stay relationship-only until GATE 2 passes — don't burn Lightspeed/Blume/HealthQuad on a pre-evidence pitch.
