The full terms · Angel chequePre-seed · Joaquim Miro, personally
Your fractional CMO, COO, CEO, CGO, Chief of Staff or CSO to help you navigate.
A few hours a week with a fintech and AI operator who has scaled teams before, and a path to venture studios when you’re ready to raise.
I’m Joaquim Miro. Each year I take on a handful of pre-seed companies myself, with my own hours and usually my own cheque.
Not for seed rounds and later, passive cheques, or advice without equity.

Fit
Who this is for.
- Pre-seed: an idea with a prototype, or an early product, before a priced seed round.
- One to three founders, remote-first or willing to be, with at least one of you obsessed with the problem.
- Fintech and financial infrastructure, AI and agentic organizations, robotics and physical automation, or a community business in the Eastern Townships.
- You want someone in the work every week, not a passive cheque.
Who it is not for.
- Raising seed or later. That is Regenerate Capital.
- You want an operating team built for you. That is Regenerate’s incubation.
- You want advice or coaching without equity. That is joaquimmiro.ca.
- You want a cheque without the weekly work.
