Startup Fundraising Academy

let's get real. fundraising for a startup is not a science nor is it an art! it is an endless maze and you never know if you are getting closer to the end or if you are going around circles. i know it because i have been there. when i was a cofounder and cmo of an early-stage startup, i watched my own ceo spending endless hours meeting, pitching, socializing with investors only to hear "maybe" or "no" from investors. after i started advising startup founders and formed my own investment firm, i realized that founders need help beyond the typical "you should network more" advice. they need a how to guide from someone who has been there and done that! they need tips that are not written in books and they need to be told, plain and simple, when they are wrong! stats are ugly: only 2% of the founders who solicit capital from vcs receive it. that means for every 100 founders that have spent hours and hours trying to get in front of an investor and present, only 2 of them get money. 98 of t
