    Who am I?

    20+ years helping founders build, raise, and scale. I've sat on both sides of the table — as a founder who raised and as a GP who writes checks. This course distills everything I wish someone had told me before my first fundraise.

    What will you learn?

    • Day 1: Before You Raise a Single Dollar
    • Day 2: Building the Investor List
    • Day 3: The Pitch That Gets a Second Meeting
    • Day 4: The Numbers That Close Deals
    • Day 5: Handling the 'No'
    • Day 6: The Term Sheet Decoded
    • Day 7: After the Raise
