Master the art of fundraising from angel investors to venture capital, learning how to present your vision compellingly and negotiate terms that support your long-term success.
Back to HomeWhat This Program Delivers
The Fundraising and Investor Relations program gives you the knowledge and skills to approach funding with clarity and confidence. You'll understand how to craft compelling pitches, create financial models that tell your story, and navigate the complex landscape from angel investors through venture capital.
By the end of eight weeks, you'll have a polished pitch deck, experience presenting to actual investors, and a thorough understanding of term sheets, cap tables, and the various funding instruments available to startups. You'll know how to prepare for due diligence and what investors look for at different stages.
More importantly, you'll feel prepared to have meaningful conversations with investors. The anxiety that often surrounds fundraising will be replaced with understanding of the process, clarity about your ask, and confidence in your ability to articulate your venture's value.
The Fundraising Process Feels Like Unknown Territory
You've built something meaningful, but taking it to the next level requires capital. The world of investors, term sheets, and valuations feels foreign and intimidating. You're uncertain about how to approach investors, what they expect to see, or how to value your company fairly.
Perhaps you've attempted to reach out to investors before, only to face rejection without understanding what was missing. Or maybe you're concerned about giving up too much equity or accepting terms that could limit your flexibility down the road.
What you need isn't just information about fundraising. You need practical experience presenting to investors, feedback on your pitch, and guidance from people who understand both sides of the fundraising table. You need to approach this critical stage with preparation, not hope.
A Systematic Approach to Securing Investment
This program demystifies the fundraising process by walking you through each element systematically. You'll learn how to create a pitch deck that captures attention, develop financial models that demonstrate your business understanding, and communicate your vision in ways that resonate with different types of investors.
We guide you through valuation methods, helping you understand how to think about your company's worth and justify your numbers. You'll learn about different funding instruments, from convertible notes to equity rounds, and understand when each makes sense for your situation.
What makes this approach effective is the combination of structured learning with real practice. You'll pitch to actual investors multiple times during the program, receiving detailed feedback that helps you refine your approach. This practical experience builds competence that theory alone cannot provide.

Your Journey Through the Program
Over eight intensive weeks, you'll progress from understanding the basics of fundraising to confidently presenting your venture to investors. Each session builds on the previous one, creating a comprehensive foundation in investor relations and capital raising.
You'll experience the evolution of your pitch as you incorporate feedback from experienced investors and mentors. The program includes multiple pitch practice sessions where you present to actual angel investors and VCs, receiving the kind of direct, honest feedback that accelerates your improvement.
Our mentors include successful founders who have raised funding and investors who have evaluated countless pitches.

What's Included
Why This Approach Works
Securing funding is as much about preparation and presentation as it is about having a strong business. Investors see hundreds of pitches, and the ones that succeed are typically those where founders demonstrate both deep business understanding and the ability to communicate effectively.
The practical experience of pitching to actual investors during the program provides invaluable learning that theoretical study cannot match. You'll understand what resonates, what raises concerns, and how to address objections confidently. This preparation significantly improves your success rate.
The eight-week timeframe gives you enough time to develop strong materials, practice extensively, and refine your approach based on feedback. Most participants complete the program with polished pitch decks and the confidence to begin serious fundraising conversations.
