Since I was a kid I have loved building stuff with my hands. 

My dad having his own workshop, let me play around with tools and various materials. 

It lead to a passion for technology and creating stuff. 

My dad got me into racing gokarts and formula/car racing from when i was 12 till i was 18. 

When I was 17 I got into MMA and have been having fights as well. 

I studied Mechanical engineering at Aalborg University for 3 years before I started my own company, DIC Group, during the summer before my 4th year. It was an incredible experience and I quickly saw that in the first 2 months of starting my own company that summer, I made more money that I would in half a year as a mechanical engineer. This, combined with my extensive background growing up in a workshop, allowed me to bet on myself and take the leap into DIC Group full time instead of finishing my studies. 

By age 22, I scaled DIC Group to 22 employees, $2 million (USD) in revenue, and made my first million in profit (DKK). Then, I experienced by biggest business hardship at the time when a massive contract went south. In the end it unfortunately cost me my company and ended in bankruptcy. Even though I felt like giving up, I refused to do so. I simply believe that the way to win is through perseverance. So, I got back up and took all of my learnings and experience into my next venture, Airflight.

Shortly after the bankruptcy I founded @Airflight together with a team ( now we are only 2 founders) with the aim of making ordinary people get an extraordinary experience by flying in a flying car.

We flew the flying car and got a lot of media attention that showed us an market opportunity within the Wind turbine industry for flying spare parts and tools. 

Airflight now applied for grants and investment to convert the flying car into an unmanned 100kg payload drone called the AF100. One of the largest quadcopters in the world. 

With the AF100 flying we raised capital and got more grants to build the AF200 a 200kg payload drone that would be able to solve multiple industry headaches. 

Unfortunately we crashed the AF200 in the midst of a funding round, forcing us to scale down operations. This crash seemed to be the end of Airflight. 

Though we found a market for our already developed payload delivery system that we had developed to solve our own problem of automatic delivery and pick up of payloads for our drone. 

The universe had me going back to my roots in industrial piping solutions. 

I love the game of business and will probably work till the day I die, because I just cant stop.

"Hold hvad du lover, selv når det gør ondt og koster dig penge."
Det råd fik jeg engang af en af Danmarks mest succesfulde erhvervsmænd.

Det er derfor Jack Foged A/S har eksisteret i snart 40 år. 
Vi holder det, vi lover. Også når det gør ondt.

Alle i industrien har lavet fejl. Det sker. 
Forskellen er, hvordan du løser det.

Vil du have en partner som kun er der, når tingene går godt? 
Eller en som har din ryg, når det bliver svært?

Vi leverer stabilitet, ærlighed og kvalitet. 

Vi skal også være her om 40 år. 
Derfor holder vi, hvad vi lover.

Mikkel Karsgaard

Pipe systems for your projects. From design to production we are your partner for more than 35 years. @JACK FOGED A/S

Nogengange så føles det som om det aldrig stopper med at være fyldt med rør hos os i Jack Foged A/S. Men det er nok ikke underligt når det er det vi lever og ånder for. 

At holde et knivskarpt fokus på rør byg gør os til en stærk partner for dig som gerne vil have lavet en rørpakke med komplet installation og dokumentation. 

Vi har eksisteret i snart 40 år og passionen brænder stadig lige så stærkt som da Jack startede virksomheden. 

Fordi vi brænder for at bygge rør.

Med både et rustfrit og sort værksted tager vi gerne de mere komplekse rør-opgaver hvor begge materialer er tilstede i rørsystemet. 

Hvad det betyder er at du med ro i maven kan vælge os til at varetage alle rør ligegyldigt om det er sort stål eller rustfrit eller et mix. 

Vi har sågar 3D CNC rørskære samt robot svejser hvis tingene er tykvægget og kræver ekstra indsats. 

Ha ro i maven når du vælger os som solid samarbejdspartner, vi har eksisteret i 39 år som familie-ejet virksomhed og vil næsten tro vi tager 40 år mere. 

For når vi har de lange briller på så ses vores forhold ikke som blot et ekstra nummer i regnskabsprogrammet, nej vi er partnere. 

Er vi perfekte? Nej. 
Begår vi fejl? ja. 

Men vi forsøger hver eneste dag at blive 1% bedre end igår. 
Hvorfor? Fordi vi elsker at bygge rør for vores kunder.

Så er Jack Foged A/S landet på Ajour 2025.
Skal vi snakke rørsystemer så hiv fat i mig. 

Vi ses derude!

Under the insulation many places hides beautiful NDT approved welds from Jack Foged employees. 

PN100 316L stainless pipe system on display. 

You need the right partner to deliver, Fast and with top quality and documentation then we are your partner. 

Because we love pipes!

Når processer og miljø er på plads så går tingene normalt hurtigere end på site. Derfor hjælper vi et hav af kunder med units hvor rør bliver svejst på værkstedet og monteret i stålstativer så der er klar til hurtig montering på site. 

Dette er oftest et godt alternativ hvis tingene skal instaleres hurtigt på site for at minimere downtime eksempelvis. 

Samtidig er det oftest mere konkurrencedygtigt at gøre det på denne måde da  sikkerhed, kvalitet og pris oftest er bedre når tingene er lavet på værkstedet. 

Står du og skal have lavet units med rør så kan det være du godt vil have et sæt ekstra øjne på tingene. I dette tilfælde så skal du blot skrive eller ringe til mig så tager vi en uforligtende snak og ser om vi kan være behjælpelig. 

Jack Foged - fordi vi elsker rør.

This month something hit me hard.

Doesn't matter how tough you think you are. 
Doesn't matter if everything's going well.

Life will find a way to punch you in the face.
And it did.
Bad news. The kind where you just sit for a minute and go "fuck."

Then after sitting with it for a while, I started looking for what was still good in the situation.
Not to make myself feel better.
Just because it was there.

The bad thing is still bad. I'm not pretending it's not.
But there's also good stuff that happened before this. Real things. Years of good.
I can hold onto that too.

I used to think acknowledging the good meant I wasn't taking the bad seriously enough.
Like I had to be completely destroyed to prove it mattered.
But that's bullshit.

You can look at a bad situation and still say: "yeah, but at least we had this."
That's not denying reality. That's seeing all of it.

The bad and the good. Both true at the same time.

Same thing happens in work. Project fails. Deal falls through. Team member leaves.
You can hold the loss and still see what you built along the way.

What do you hold onto when life punches you in the face?

Så er det i morgen at der er Ajour 2025. 
Skal vi snakke rør så hiv fat i mig jeg er rundt omkring. 

Glæder mig til at møde de gode folk der holder industrien kørende! 

Vi ses!

Week after week pipespools are leaving our production. 
This is only possible because we have some of the best people at Jack Foged A/S. 

People who chose to go the way of the builder. 
The people who put the work in to construct the constructions and piping systems that are designed. 

This Monday I just want to express my gratitude for all the people working in a service/construction role. You guys are awesome, thank you for your effort in making the world being built and going around.

When you are genuinely excited for Mondays you know you are on the right track. 

There will always be work that is more fun than other work. 

But if you generally is happy to meet up on Mondays, just be grateful and appreciative you are already ahead.

Jacob and Philip started working in their father's workshop as kids. Not watching from the sidelines. Actually working.

Their father Jack started this company almost 40 years ago with his hands, and his sons learned the trade the same way. They got their blue-collar education first, working on the shop floor, before they went on to get their white-collar credentials.

I think that's a big part of why we've been successful as a contractor in the piping systems industry.
Because I came up the same way.

I was raised in a workshop myself. I've spent more than 15 years in steel and manufacturing, and thousands of those hours were spent building and welding. Learning what works in theory versus what actually works when you're 20 feet up with a torch in your hand.

That shared background creates something you can't get from a company where the leadership has only seen projects from a desk.
When you're dealing with complex piping systems and tight deadlines, you need people who understand what's happening on-site. Not just what the drawings say, but what actually happens when tolerances stack up and nothing quite fits the way it should.

We've all been there. We know what goes wrong and why it goes wrong.
That's the foundation of how we work with our customers. We're not just quoting and delivering. We're in it with you when the project gets complicated.

So if you're looking for a supplier who sends you a price list and moves on to the next job, we're probably not the right fit.

But if you need a partner who understands the technical challenges because we've lived them ourselves, then we should talk.

The requirements for documentation is increasing which is why it is important to have a piping partner that is used to dealing with high documentation requirements. 

At Jack Foged A/S we have implemented multiple digital solutions that increases the efficiency of the documentation which in the end benefits our customers. 

Investing in processes and documentation is a must when you want to deliver at the highest quality possible. 

So if you are a tender manager or bid manager and you can see the projects has high demands on documentation, then maybe it is time we have an informal talk about how we potentially can help you and your company delivering the project on time and well documented.

We all make mistakes in life!
It is simple inevitable and it is okay. 
Just fix your mistake and get back on track. 

But let me tell you something that I have learned in my career that have been confirmed to me over and over again. 

There exist people out there that see their mistakes and then they don't fix them, simply because they think no one sees them or will discover it. careless behavior...

Like this guy who pissed on the floor without cleaning. you got NO excuse on this one... Every man who uses a urinal knows that you can't miss to see if you pissed on the floor. 

This type of person is the same person that doesn't clean the toilet after them. careless of other people. This type of person doesn't belong on a high performance team. 

Needless to say I cleaned the floor so I was hopefully the only one with shoes filled with yellow dirty water. 

If we all just care 1% more about each other then maybe just maybe it will make a big impact.

Someone asked me the other day: " how can I be more authentic" 
Without hesitation my first answer was:

Just start saying NO more. 
Way to many of us say yes to things that dont feel right, but we do it to be "polite" or whatever. 

When you start acting more in accordance to how you feel deeply, that is where you will find your authentic self in my opinion. 

What do you think? 
What makes someone authentic?

No amount of material possessions can you give you: real deep down status. 

Because the real status is when you look yourself in the mirror, that good feeling you get there....

That's status.

I like to share what I believe is also a great colleague:

Today is maybe the day where you tell that colleague of yours how much the mean to you. 

It got me reflecting on the question: " Are the best colleagues actually friends in disguise 🥸 "???? 

What do you think?

When the student is ready to learn the teacher will show.

Nogengange så kan en enkelt sætning ændrer vores humør eller perspektiv til det bedre. 
Måske en af disse kan være en hjælp for dig idag.

Linkedin is one of the most powerful tools in the world if you know how to use it correctly. 

I have been using the last month to sort out and unfollow so many people. 

The reason. 

I want to use it as an intelligence platform where I get info and speak to people where we can bring value in Jack Foged A/S. 

It has increased the quality of the platform sooooo much. 

Its seems that is the recipe for taking the "normal" social media out of linkedin and putting it back in to my arsenal as a powerful sales tool. 

Have you also been tired of the state of linkedin for a long time, maybe it is time for you to clean it like I have done. 

What do you think is the best thing about linkedin these days?

Most startup founders think fundraising is about having a good idea, a unique technology, or knowing the right investors. 

It’s not.

Fundraising is a skill. And the truth is, most first-time founders are not clear, confident, or prepared enough for the capital raise they need to survive, let alone scale.

I’ve raised over $4M for my own companies, pitched in Silicon Valley, and secured investment from Tim Draper on Meet the Drapers. But more importantly, I’ve been where you are. Facing a runway cliff. Trying to figure out what to say to investors. Getting ignored. And wondering if it’s all just smoke and mirrors.

It’s not. There is a way, but only if you're willing to commit.

Inside the Elite Fundraising Protocol, I direct startup founders from vague and overwhelmed to clear, confident, and closing capital. No fluff, no magic solutions. Just hard-earned, field-tested strategy, tools, and daily execution. I’ve been there, I've done it, and I understand you.

Here’s how we do it:

🔥 Clarity — on your offer, your story, your strategy, and your startup’s true value.
💪 Conviction — to pitch with power and communicate your opportunity like a 1% founder.
🎯 Expertise — daily guidance, 1:1 support, and relentless accountability.
🛠️ Assets — tools, networks, investor lists, and tactical playbooks that actually work.
🚀 Execution — because minimal effort and shortcuts won’t close your round.

Most founders think raising capital will take a few weeks. The truth? It’ll take months. You’ll get 95% rejections. And you’ll have to get sharper, faster, and more focused than ever. That’s what we help you do.

And we back it up. If it’s not for you, we offer a 30-day full refund. No questions asked.

If you’re preparing to raise, or already raising, and want expert guidance to speed it up and do it right, let's talk! Every week you wait is momentum lost.

🙋‍♂️ PS. More about me:

My motto has always been "A ship in harbor is safe, but that’s not what it’s built for". 🚢 And I'm passionate about founders with the same adventurous mindset. You'll also find me at the gym, in the sauna/cold plunge, playing disc golf or badminton, or laughing with friends.

My story started in elite athletics, earning a full Division 1 swimming scholarship at the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay, where I set three school records and led as team captain. I moved from the US to Denmark in 2015 with no plan and no safety net, just conviction and vision.

That same energy is baked into everything we do at EFP. 

Let’s get after it.

🚨 Founders 🚨 Investors can sense this a mile away!
There is a huge gap between writing "CEO" as your Linkedin title of your 3-person startup and actually filling the gravity of that role:

Most founders think fundraising as the CEO, is about what they show investors. 

But they forget something more important:

Investors are also reading what you signal without saying a word.

Always calculating.

Is this founder investible? Are they at that level yet?

And one of the biggest silent signals that separates founders who get funded from founders who don’t is this:

Ownership.

Not the legal kind.

The psychological kind.

The kind that says:

I take responsibility for every outcome in this company.

I don’t blame. I don’t wait. I own it all.

If it needs to get done, I’m the one who does it.
If it goes wrong, I fix it.
If it feels uncomfortable, I lean in.

Investors can feel this energy instantly.

I’ve seen it in my own startups.

I’ve seen it in dozens of founders I’ve worked with.

And I’ve lived the opposite too...

When I burned out in 2021, I slipped into survival mode.

I stopped training.

I stopped taking care of myself.

And without realizing it, I stopped owning the things that mattered most. 😞 

Momentum slows the second ownership slips.

But the moment you reclaim it, everything changes. 💪 

Your communication changes.
Your confidence changes.
Your presence changes.

The way investors listen to you changes.

Because when you speak with ownership, investors feel safer betting on you.

Here’s how ownership sounds in practice:

🙋‍♂️🙋‍♀️ I’m responsible for solving this.
🙋‍♂️🙋‍♀️ I’m responsible for creating clarity.
🙋‍♂️🙋‍♀️ I’m responsible for getting investor meetings.
🙋‍♂️🙋‍♀️ I’m responsible for becoming the type of founder this company needs.
🙋‍♂️🙋‍♀️ I’m responsible for everything that happens next.

The founders who raise money are not the ones with the best product.

They are the ones who show investors:

"I don't hope this will succeed. I will make it succeed."

That is investability.

And the good news?

🔥 Ownership is a skill.
🔥 Ownership is a muscle.
🔥 Ownership is a choice you can make today.

To change the tragetory of your company's success! 🚀

Get Investors | Raise Capital | Become the 1% Founder Investors Say Yes To. | Elite Fundraising Protocol: Clarity & Conviction for your Capital Raise | Built by Founders, for Founders Ready to Step into the Next Level

Most founders think investor interactions are about data.
Revenue. Market size. Product details. Margins.
But the truth is:

📚 It's about STORIES.

At early stages,

Investors invest in humans first, companies second.

And if you want investors to lean in, trust you, and remember you long after the call ends, you need three stories 📚  that build a real human connection:

📗 Your Founder’s Story
📕 Your Company Story
📘 Your Product Story

These are not “nice to have.”

They are critical.

They are how investors decide whether you are investable.

Here’s why each one matters.


📗 Founder’s Story:

This is the most important story you will ever tell as a founder.

In early rounds, investors are not investing in your product. 

They are investing in you.

Because their biggest fear is simple:

❌ Either you quit when it gets hard OR 
❌ You quit when your founding team breaks apart.

A powerful founder’s story puts that fear to rest.

It answers the questions investors are secretly asking:

🤔 Why can I trust this founder to survive adversity?
🤔 Can this founding team stay together when things get messy?
🤔 Do these founders have the grit, depth, and resourcefulness to build something enormous?

A strong founder’s story makes investors feel one thing above all:

“My money is safe with them.”


📕 Company Story:

Investors need to understand where your mission came from and why it matters.

Your company story answers:

🤔 Why this company and why now?
🤔 What problem did you encounter in the real world that made this impossible to ignore?
🤔 How big and critical is this problem?
🤔 Can this company not just survive, but truly thrive?

This is the birth story of your startup.

It shows the size of the opportunity, the urgency of the moment, and the conviction behind your vision.


📘 Product Story:

This is where investors evaluate whether your solution can win.

Your product story answers:

🤔 Why is your product 10X better than anything that exists today?
🤔 What makes you difficult or impossible to copy?
🤔 If the idea is so good, why hasn’t someone built it already?
🤔 Does anyone want this enough to pay for it?

Investors are calculating risk.

💥 Risk of irrelevance.
💥 Risk of commoditization.
💥 Risk of disruption.

Your product story shows them why your solution deserves to exist and why the market will adopt it.

When you master these three stories, something powerful happens:

Investors stop seeing you as “another founder".

They start seeing you as someone they want to bet on.

Not because your company is valuable now...

But that they believe you will grow it into something valuable in the future.

Because of your clarity, your conviction, and your humanity.

And that is what makes you investable.

Want help crafting these stories and understanding them in more detail?

🔥 Founders who move FAST 🔥
This 1 blind spot is slowing your fundraising 🐢
more than anything else:

Your Systems.

James Clear put it best when he said:

"You don't rise to the level of your goals, 
you fall to the level of your systems." 🙌

And nothing exposes this truth more brutally than fundraising.

Every founder has big goals.

🚀 Raise $500K... $1M... $5M...
🚀 Close the round.
🚀 Scale the team.
🚀 Extend runway.
🚀 Change the world. 🙌

But goals don’t get you funded.

Systems do.

In fundraising, you don’t rise to the level of your ambition.

You fall to the level of your consistency, your clarity, and your processes.

When you don’t have a system, fundraising feels like chaos. 🌪️

🌪️ You send a few emails.
🌪️ You get ghosted.
🌪️ You lose momentum.
🌪️ You get discouraged.
🌪️ You tell yourself you’ll “pick it back up next week...”

Then time goes by...

Ask me how I know?

I see it all the time.

Hell, I’ve lived it.

But when you have a system, everything changes:

🦾 Daily outreach becomes automatic. 
🦾 Investor follow-ups become predictable.
🦾 Your pitch becomes second nature.
🦾 Your clarity keeps increasing.
🦾 Your confidence rises because your actions rise.

This is why top founders win.

Not because they're smarter.

Not because their idea is better.

But because they build systems they can trust more than their motivation.

Fundraising can be emotional. 🎢

But fundraising systems are unemotional. 🤖

They pull you forward on the days when you feel
 
😩 uncertain, 
😩 tired, 
😩 overwhelmed, 
😩 or insecure

If you want to raise money, don't focus on staying motivated.

Focus on building a system that still works on the days you don't feel like working.

Because in fundraising, goals are fantasy.

🔥 Systems are reality. 🔥

And systems are what get you funded. 💰

Want to implement proven systems without reinventing the wheel?

#fundraising #entrepreneurship #founder #investors

👀 One thing most Founders don't realize is 👀 
What got you here will not get you to the next level.
Here's why:

In business and in life, every time you level up, 
you outgrow your old systems.

Your old habits.
Your old thinking.
Your old strategies.

When you’re new, you suck. 😅

That’s not an insult, it’s simply reality.

We all do. I sure did.

Then you learn, 
you work, 
you execute, 
and slowly your systems improve.

You suck a little less.
Then a little less.
Then eventually you’ve leveled up.
You're on your way to greatness.

But here’s the truth most people never understand:

You can only self improve up to a point.

Going from 0 to 1? 🚶‍♂️🚶‍♀️

You can figure that out on your own.


Going from 1 to 10? 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️💨

Books, videos, podcasts, YouTube… totally fine.


But going from 10 to 100? 🔥🚀

That requires someone who has walked the path you are just beginning.
A proper mentor, coach, or guide.

Someone who knows the map. 🗺️

And more importantly, everything that’s not on the map. 🧭🔎

Someone whose shoulders you can stand on, 
so you start miles ahead instead of years behind.

Look at anyone who has made it:

They ALL had someone guiding them. 🗺️

No exceptions.

Because knowledge isn’t enough.

Execution is what counts.

Implementation is what changes your life.

And here’s where founders make a huge mistake:

They reach WAY too high, WAY too early.

If you’re pre seed and you’re trying to level up like Musk, Bezos, Zuck, or Buffett… good luck.

You’re trying to skip a million levels.

But there is no skipping levels, no shortcuts.

Their path isn’t your path, and trying to copy them won’t help you right now.

You need someone just a few steps ahead.

Someone who recently faced your struggles.

Someone who knows what it takes at your stage, not theirs.

If you’re raising money, trying to scale, or taking your next big leap…

Find someone who already did it, 
understands it deeply, 
and can show you the way.

It’s not weakness.

It’s strategy.

It's not expensive.

It's priceless! 🙌

#fundraising #entrepreneurship #founder #investors

💸 Two mindsets keep most founders from ever 
raising a dollar in pre-seed or seed rounds.💸 
And neither has anything to do with their idea, product, or potential.

It’s their psychology. 🤯

🧠 Mindset 1:

The founder who is so confident they try to do everything themselves.

They tell themselves things like

🫣 “I’ve built the product, I can raise money too.” 
🫣 “I’ll figure it out as I go.”
🫣 “I don’t need help, I’m smart, I’ll manage.”

This founder usually learns the hard way that fundraising is an entirely different skill set.

It is storytelling, strategy, psychology, positioning, numbers, narrative, conviction, and execution.

It is not something you download from a YouTube video.

Their confidence blinds them and costs them time, momentum, and trust.

🧠 Mindset 2:

The founder who is so intimidated by the process that they freeze. 🥶🧊

🥶 They wait.
🥶    And wait..
🥶       And wait...

Until the bank account is almost empty and now they are fundraising out of survival instead of strength.

They feel unprepared, overwhelmed, and scared of doing it wrong so they avoid doing it at all.

Both founders get stuck.
Both lose critical time.
Both sabotage their chances before investors even hear their story.

The truth is this

You do not need to be fearless
You do not need to know everything
You do not need to have perfect clarity (yet) 😉

But you do need to be willing to get the right help.

✅ The kind that sharpens your message
✅ structures your strategy
✅ builds your conviction
✅ and prepares you to lead a round with confidence

Founders don’t fail at fundraising because they aren’t capable.

They fail because they try to do it alone or they never start.

Both are unnecessary.

Both are avoidable.

And both can be transformed into real progress the moment you decide to not go at this thing blind.

🚀 Founders 🚀 
I'm giving away free pitch deck feedback.
   ⬇️   ⬇️   ⬇️   ⬇️   ⬇️   ⬇️   ⬇️   ⬇️

Most decks don’t fail because the idea is bad.

Founders usually have the right information, but

They fail because of their communication within the deck.

I see this every day:
⚠️ Decks written like sales presentations 
⚠️ Slides packed with to many product and tech details
⚠️ Storytelling aimed at customers, not investors
⚠️ Missing the parts investors actually judge first

And the result?

Investors skim it for 12 seconds, drop it, and move on.

Here’s the mindset shift:

❌ The goal of your pitch deck is not to get an investment.
✅ The goal of your pitch deck is to get a meeting. 

Meetings come from three ingredients:
✨ Trust
✨ Interest
✨ Curiosity

(Not from an info dump.)

Every slide should make investors think:

"Tell me more."

Not "Why do I need 22 slides to understand this?"
Not "I don't get it (instantly)"
Not "Are they actually focused enough?"

So, to give back to the founders grinding out there,

I’m offering free pitch deck feedback.

If you want my eyes on your deck, here’s how to get it:

1. Connect with me here on Linkedin
2. Comment "deck" below
3. I will DM you personally and share feedback

Let’s keep the good energy moving and help founders win together.

🎯  Founders 🎯 here’s how you actually win at fundraising.
But most people aren't willing to do it. 🤯

🪄 It’s not magic.
🍀 It’s not luck.
⏳️ It’s not “waiting for the right investor to notice you.”

It’s 4️⃣ things. 

And if even one is missing, your round drags, stalls, or dies.

Here’s the formula the top founders live by:

🎯 1. A clear target

If you don’t know exactly how much you need, why you need it, and what it buys you, investors feel it instantly.
Unclear targets signal their money is at risk with you. 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️

You as a founder also need this in mind so all parts of you are working to solve it non-stop.


🗺️ 2. A map with real steps

Knowing the raise amount is one thing.

Knowing the concrete steps to GET that raise is another.

Outreach volume, pitch prep, story clarity, meeting strategy, follow-ups, momentum signals…

This is where most founders fall apart.


🛑 3. Ignore the haters

People with small mindsets will always have big opinions. 🙃

💥 Expect it to happen.
💥 Don't let it get under your skin.

Haters, skeptics, doubters, or people projecting their own limitations onto you.

A 1% founder blocks out the noise and stays locked on the mission.


⚡ 4. Put in so much effort it becomes unreasonable to fail.

When you show up with consistency, clarity, and conviction…

When your output is undeniable…

When you’re doing the work 95 percent of founders avoid…

Success becomes the logical outcome.

These four steps are not optional.

They are the blueprint.

And they’re built into every single thing I teach founders, 

because a founder who masters these,

becomes a fundraising machine. 💵🦾
