I make Pre-Seed to Series B founders successfully fundraise by helping you build your fundraising operating system. | $350m+ raised with founders. | Follow me for tips on fundraising.

I have spent the last 10 years trying to find the "secret" sauce to making you fundraise for your company.

And you know what?

There's no secret. 

It’s just a matter of having: 

- The right preparation & processes
- A clear and concise narrative & storytelling
- Structured relationships built over a long period 

The real "secret", if there's any at all, is that you need to build a system around your fundraise to make sure you do the proper work.

A system means that allows you to: 

- Efficiently build the right relationships with investors and connectors
- Influence investors that YOU are a good bet
- Take them through your process in an efficient manner 

All the while keeping accountability of you doing the boring but important stuff.

During the $400m+ in venture funding I have been a part of, I was able to meet best-in-class  entrepreneurs. 

Some of these entrepreneurs have gone on to raise $100M+ in fundraising each. ​

All of them possessed operating systems for the fundraises. 

I’ve built such a system for fundraising founders. 

And I can help you build yours. 

But as with all things, getting started, maintaining consistency and keeping accountability is easier said than done.

The founders I have helped with their fundraises have gone on to raise $250M+. 

...And I'm doing all of this with a 100% MONEY-BACK GUARANTEE.

Now, are you serious about building fundraising for your startup? 

Let's make it happen.

(I CAN'T HELP YOU IF YOU HAVE ALREADY STARTED YOUR FUNDRAISE). 

👉🏼 Shoot me a DM, or head over to my featured section & check out our offer.

I'll see you at the top!

It’s crazy how volatile being a founder is in the early days.

Within the same day you can go from:

09.00am: This is going amazingly well!
10.00am: This is going to fail... why did I start this?
12.00am: Holy crap, maybe I should pivot?
12.05am: How am I going to make money?
01.00pm: Omg this is so gonna work!
01.25 pm: This is gonna be massive! Which yacht? 
01.26pm: No-one wants this... Why am I even trying?
01.27pm: Hmmm. Maybe it'll all be alright. Keep going. 

It takes so much resilience to cut through that noise.

To focus on executing.
To focus on the end goal
To focus on long-term growth.
To focus on delayed gratification.

I definitely find it hard.

What do you do to help with the volatility of entrepreneurship?

Raise $1M+ in 90 days with my proven fundraising system. | VC-Backed Founder ($16M) & Tier-1 VC | $400M+ raised with founders. | DM “RAISE” to chat how I can help.

Want your pitch deck roasted by someone who's raised $16M and deployed $250M+?

I'll tell you exactly what's wrong with it and what VCs are actually thinking when they see it.

Most pitch decks I see would get a 'no' before slide 5.

The founders think it's about design or data. It's not.

The gap between what founders think matters and what investors actually care about is massive.

• Your deck might look beautiful. 
• Your numbers might be impressive. 

But if you're not addressing the real psychological triggers that make VCs say yes... 

Then you're wasting everyone's time.

So do you want me to roast your pitch deck and show you exactly what's killing your fundraise?

All for free? 

If you're interested, comment or DM me "ROAST" and we can chat. 

(FYI - this will be put on YouTube).

99% of fundraises fail because you only learn how fundraising works 𝘢𝘧𝘵𝘦𝘳 it’s already too late.

I still remember my second one...

Sitting across from an investor, watching him check his phone halfway through my pitch.

Every “maybe” felt like oxygen being sucked out of me. 

Because I'd barely been able to get 5 meetings. 

But in that moment I knew: 

I wasn’t running a fundraise. 
I was being dragged through one.

You don’t get 3 attempts when fundraising. 
You barely get 1... 

That’s why most founders don’t actually 𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘯 fundraising. 

They survive it once and hope it sticks.

If you want to control the raise, not just endure it…
Learn to read the signals before the room does.

And speak to people who have gone through what you are going through. 

What’s the hardest signal you’ve had to read?

1 of the biggest Ponzi schemes in fundraising is this:

Founders pour weeks into it.
They tweak, polish, and obsess over it.
They ask a 1,000,000 people for feedback. 

Then get conflicting advice the whole time. 

And you still wonder why investors never bite.

The scam? 

Your pitch deck. 

It stopped being a tool, but became a religion. 

Version 12. Version 28. Version 58.

New fonts. 
New slides. 
New “story.”

Meanwhile it’s 1 a.m. and you’re staring at Canva convincing yourself this next edit will finally make the round click.

It won't. 

Your deck doesn’t raise the round.
It just gets you in the room.

Rounds die somewhere else: 

• In cold emails that never get opened 
• In meetings you weren’t ready to lead 
• In conversations where you couldn’t read the investor

The fix isn’t prettier slides. It’s sharper signals.

Start doing things that actually make you raise: 

1. Build relationships to get warm intros. 
2. Speak to customers to get unique insights. 
3. Work on making your story as simple as possible. 
4. Record yourself and practice PROPERLY. 
5. Learn investor psychology. 

The deck isn’t the product. You are.

What’s the most painful “deck lesson” you’ve learned?

I've raised over $220,000,000

As a VC-backed founder, VC and now an advisor. 

I'm giving away how to set-up a fundraise to be JUST as successful, for FREE.

The 17 minute training includes

👉 The 2 parts to a fundraise
👉 The 3 steps to build a killer narrative
👉 How to systemise your network & comms
👉 How to launch your fundraise in the right way
👉 How to ACTUALLY build fomo and momentum

And honestly, I wouldn't even call it a lead magnet

It's a system that will 10x your chances of fundraising.

Because you finally know the exact steps it takes to get $$$.

Comment TIMELINE and I'll send to you (must be connected to me!)

PS - Please make sure to connect with me so I can send it to you. If you do I promise I'll share it.

People tell you to use a deadline when you fundraise.
You’ve tried. You’ve dropped the date. You’ve “signaled momentum.”
Yet nothing moved.

Because a deadline doesn’t create urgency by itself! 

Most founders treat deadlines like sales tricks.

“Just add scarcity.”
"Closing next month."
“Force the close.”

But unless that date is emotionally true in context? 

It falls flat. 

Here's the hard part people won't tell you: 

There’s no universal calendar for this.
No guru script.
No checklist exactly when to say what to who.

You don’t name one deadline and blast it.
You tune it, 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘹𝘵.

Different investors need different levels of specificity.
Some need soft pacing.
Others need precise clarity.

Sometimes you go broad.
Sometimes you tighten.
Sometimes you name the window.
Other times, you hold it back.

And that’s what builds real FOMO in your round. 

Not pressure, but precision at the right times. 

It's how:

1. Marwan raised $2.5M this month. 
2. Charlie raised $5M this month.
3. Marco raised $2.2M this month. 

Deadlines are not just for forcing decisions.
They are specific to the point in time. 

And can either help your round or destroy it. 

Naming the deadline the right way, to the right people... 

Is what will accelerate your raise. 

So don’t just set a deadline.
Learn to read timing.

And surround yourself with people who know how to feel it with you.

That’s how you close your funding round.
