CTA - Funding Ask.

Ask closer that binds the raise amount, runway, use of funds and per-item milestones into one slide. A round-meta strip on top, a 38:62 asymmetric middle band (hero amount beside one horizontal allocation bar and a five-row ledger), then outcome metrics and the CTA at the bottom. No cards: hierarchy comes only from type contrast and divider rules.

Overview

Best for: Closing ask slide in a fundraising deck, stating raise amount and use of funds together, committing to milestones per allocation, internal capex or budget approval requests

Use: When you close a fundraising deck with the ask and must do more than name a number: state the runway, the per-item share and amount, and what each line buys by when. Transfers directly to internal capex or budget approval requests.

Avoid: Use pricing-roi-snapshot for the customer's purchase ROI, cta-pilot-proposal to bound mutual responsibilities with a customer, and cta-next-steps when only the other side's actions matter. If the split itself is the subject, chart-donut-breakdown fits better. Past six use-of-funds items the bar segments stop being readable; under three the ledger looks empty.
