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).

Creators + Community + Sports @ LinkedIn | Venture Scout | I help CEOs, execs, VCs, athletes & brands stand out and build authority

I’m a community builder and strategist with a background in scaling creator programs, executing partnerships, and shaping content ecosystems across sports, finance, media, and tech.

At LinkedIn, I’ve been part of the editorial and product team shaping how top athletes, execs, creators, and brands show up on the platform. From onboarding Lewis Hamilton to launching scaled video programs and amplifying executives' voices through editorial campaigns, I’ve helped over 500+ high-impact members grow their audience and influence. I’ve also supported major product rollouts like collaborative articles and the new immersive video tab, bringing feedback from the community directly into product decisions.

Before LinkedIn, I led growth and partnerships at Minute Media across global markets — building out their influencer network from scratch (2000+ creators, 1B+ impressions), driving user growth across LatAm, and boosting monetization through SEO and cross-platform deals.

I didn’t start out planning this path. I just kept following what made me curious: how communities form, how content spreads, and how creators (and now athletes and execs) shape culture. That curiosity has led me across continents — from Tel Aviv to London — and through roles that have mixed editorial instinct, product feedback, talent strategy, and partnership growth.

I'm especially passionate about helping people show up more authentically online — not just for the algorithm, but for their community. If it sits at the intersection of storytelling, strategy, and real human connection, I’m probably already in it.

In short: I help people build a presence and a community that opens doors.

Co-Founder

• Successful crowdfunding campaign & world wide media coverage

🚨 JUST IN: The streaming wars just ended

Netflix announced this morning it's acquiring Warner Bros., HBO, and HBO Max for $82.7 billion. 

What Netflix gets:
1/ Century of IP: Friends, The Sopranos,Game of Thrones, Harry Potter, the entire DC Universe (Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman) and much more...
2/ HBO's prestige brand
3/ Physical production capacity at WBD's global studio facilities

Potential implications: 
1/ Netflix just became a licensing monopoly
2/ The “Netflix is a tech company” era ends
3/ Streaming bundling becomes inevitable

Bank of America called it succinctly: 'If Netflix acquires Warner Bros., the streaming wars are effectively over'

One thing is certain: If regulators approve, Hollywood will never look the same.

CCO @ Shake Content | Ex LinkedIn | I help CEOs, execs, VCs & brands stand out and build authority on LinkedIn

After 4 years at LinkedIn and working with hundreds of executives, CEOs, and industry experts, I've heard the same fear over and over:

'I don't want to come across as promotional or cringy'

So they don't post. They don't share. They stay silent.

Here's what I've learned: The best LinkedIn content isn't promotional at all.
It's:
1/ The lessons you learned from a project that failed
2/ The counterintuitive insight from 10 years in your industry
3/ The question everyone's thinking but nobody's asking
4/ The honest take on where your field is heading

You don't need to talk about your product. You don't need to humble-brag. 
You just need to say something worth reading.

The executives with the biggest followings? 
They teach more than they sell
They share more than they pitch
They add value first.

But here's the thing...

If you DO want to occasionally post about your company, your product, or that award you just won? Do it anyway.

One promotional post among ten valuable ones isn't cringy.

We're allowed to be proud of our work. We're allowed to celebrate wins.

F*** it... You earned those medals.

This is Rony 🙌 

We met on LinkedIn two years ago. Last week I got the chance to visit her at Google's Tel Aviv office.

LinkedIn gets a bad rep for being transactional. But I believe this is one of the few places where you can build genuine relationships with people you'd never meet otherwise.

This platform isn't just for deals and job posts. It's for finding amazing people.

Shoutout to Rony for the invite... and to LinkedIn for making the world feel smaller.

Life hack: always start a presentation with a meme.

Not only does it instantly break the ice, but it completely flips the energy in the room. 

And for the session I ran yesterday, it helped set the tone that business, fundraising and brand-building don’t have to be stiff, corporate, or intimidating.

I spoke at 'Beyond the Pitch: Getting Noticed by Investors & Media' hosted by Startup Grind London – a brilliant night designed to help early-stage founders cut through the noise and build visibility.

Huge thank you to Elinor for bringing me in and hosting such a great event. I was joined by an excellent lineup: David Soffer, Jordan Mulvaney, Josh Hart, Isabelle O'Keeffe, Maria Markusjan, and 🤖Chloe Hall.

Some takeaways I shared with the group:
1/ Visibility is a proxy for credibility. Most investors don't have time to deep-dive every deck.. but they notice founders who consistently show up.
2/ You don’t need authority to get attention. You need clarity, confidence, and a perspective worth following.
3/ Storytelling isn’t a “nice to have”. It’s a commercial asset that drives intros, hires, partnerships, and demand.
4/ The founders who communicate early build momentum early. 

The meme was a joke - but the message wasn’t.

If you’re waiting for the perfect moment to start showing up on LinkedIn, you’re already late.

strongly held belief:

who follows you matters more than how many follow you

be known well, not well-known

Hot take: Content is now as important as code.

Balaji said it best on the Andreessen Horowitz podcast:

'The founding engineer is the how. The founding creator is the why'

In 2026, every company will (should) have:
1/ A founding engineer 
2/ A founding operator 
3/ And a founding creator (even if that 'role' isn't titled yet)

I am a bit biased but this is where LinkedIn comes in. It’s where founders build trust, distribution, and demand long before the product ships.

And this is exactly why we built Shake Content.

We’re helping founders become the leading voices in their categories.. turning their expertise, their story, and their point of view into visibility,  authority, and  momentum.

The companies that win won’t just have great products. They’ll have founders who can lead the conversation.

Most of us use AI wrong.

We ask for answers (outputs) when we should be asking for questions (inputs).

Asking AI for answers is like having someone lift the weights for you. 

(it looks productive.. but builds zero strength).

Questions > answers

Vegamour just created a role that didn't exist 6 months ago.

Chief LinkedIn Advisor

I've been tracking interesting roles popping up on LinkedIn lately. This one def. stand out. 

A beauty brand is investing executive-level resources into a single platform. They're not spreading thin across TikTok, Instagram, and Twitter. They're going all-in on LinkedIn.

VEGAMOUR hired Iryna Kremin, a longevity expert, to create 'science-backed conversations' for their community. They're treating LinkedIn like a media channel where credibility compounds.

Here's what this signals:
• LinkedIn is becoming a primary business channel, not a secondary one
• Companies are realising that trust-building happens in feeds, not just in ads
• Executive attention is shifting from 'we should post more' to 'we need a strategy here'

The brands/companies winning on LinkedIn in 2025 won't be the ones posting occasionally. They'll be the ones treating it like the business asset it is.

If a hair care company is hiring a Chief LinkedIn Advisor, what does that say about where your industry is heading?

The Big Shift for 2026

Brand building is no longer the job of the marketing team. It’s the job of every employee.

I just read an interesting NYT article that confirms what many of us are starting to see: the era of outsourcing brand credibility is ending.

Companies like Delta Air Lines, the LEGO Group, and DHL aren't just featuring their social media teams anymore. They're empowering engineers, maintenance techs, couriers, and designers to build the brand.

But here's what the article missed, and what I think is the real story for 2026:
LinkedIn is where this movement matters most.

While TikTok and Instagram get the viral moments, LinkedIn is where trust is built. When your software engineer shares insights about your product development process, when your customer service lead posts about solving a complex client challenge, when your logistics coordinator explains your supply chain innovations. 

People trust people more than logos.

Why this matters now:
→ B2B buyers are doing their research on LinkedIn, looking for authentic voices, not polished marketing 
→ Top talent evaluates companies based on employee voices, not career pages

The companies winning in 2026 won't be the ones with the best marketing team. They'll be the ones who've empowered every employee to share their expertise, their day-to-day realities, and their genuine enthusiasm for the work.

I don't think this isn’t just a trend. It’s a shift in how brands grow.

The best communities in the next decade won't be measured by member counts or engagement metrics.

They'll be measured by how people feel when they leave the room.

Hampton gets this. They just posted a job for a Retreat Manager.

Someone who maps dependencies, researches facilitators, scouts venues throughout the year, and designs run-of-shows with intention.

The specificity of the role is a huge signal 
(this is not the usual 'events manager' position)

For a decade, we chased (digital) scale. More members. Bigger Slack channels. Zoom calls with hundreds of faces nobody remembers.

The pendulum is swinging back... big time.

This role isn't about logistics. It's about creating the conditions where something actually happens between people.

You can't automate serendipity. 

Kudos to Anna (Cogswell) Kolwicz and the Hampton team.

Couldn’t be happier for my friend David Walsh and the entire Limelight team 🚀

They’re building the best B2B creator platform in the game... and this new funding round + product launch is just more proof of that momentum.

As a user, I can’t recommend Limelight enough. What they’re building is genuinely changing how brands understand influence and content-driven revenue.

Huge congrats to the whole team. I know they are just getting started.

Founder & CEO @ Limelight | B2B Creator Marketplace | 3x Founder | MBA Mentor

Today I’m announcing our $2,100,000 funding round 🎉💰
And a HUGE NEW PRODUCT LAUNCH!! ...

Our brand new AI agent for Social Listening is live.

It can:

→ Research your company
→ Precisely define your ICP
→ Identify all of your competitors

Then automatically surface buyer intent from social content and turn it into sales pipeline. 

Early users are raving about it already!!

And just a few weeks ago,
We won the Global Pitch Competition!
On stage at SaaStock (€1M prize money)

THIS. IS. WHAT. MOMENTUM. LOOKS. LIKE.

Here’s why investors are loving Limelight

👇🏼👇🏼

Everyone is talking about personality-led marketing.

- Niche B2B creators are stealing trust.
- Employees are becoming mini media brands.
- Buyers follow PEOPLE, not 40-page whitepapers.

But the problem - up until now?

Everyone KNOWS influence drives revenue.

Yet nobody can measure it.

So budgets have stayed trapped in paid ads & cold outbound.

Limelight SOLVES this problem.

We’re showing brands - how CONTENT drives REVENUE.

We are making influence marketing performance-based.

So brands can track:

🔎 Which post led to $142,000 in pipeline
🔎 Which creator drove 237 product signups
🔎 Which campaign closed $1.9M new business.

(All REAL Limelight case studies! 📈)

We’re turning B2B influence from a “nice-to-have branding play” into a scalable revenue engine.

Big SHOUT out to our new investors for believing in us

Amit at SNR (led the round!) 
Eran at Savyon Ventures 
Kenneth at BackFuture
Kaan at First Degree 
Josh at OpenSky 
Kirby at Ascend

And many others like Ran Makavy, Gert Lanckriet, Suhit Gupta, Amir Ashkenazi, Mike Head, Eli Schwartz, Tom Waddington, Dan Murray🧠, Garrett Scott, Michel Lieben 🧠 & Alex Vacca 🧠🛠️.

A group of incredible operators/investors who know personality-led growth will define the next decade of GTM.

What’s next?

Goal remains the same:
→ Hit $10M ARR with a team of 10.

This funding round lets us:

⚡ Build even faster
⚡ Hire a few elite engineers + AMs
⚡ Push deeper into creator-based attribution
⚡ Power influencer programs for every GTM org

Huge gratitude to my tiny but might team Youngjae JI, Demir Capan, Blas C. and Janine Bulao. 

And most importantly...

The creators and brands (HubSpot, Webflow, Clay + 100s more) who are building this category WITH us 💪🏼

THIS IS JUST THE START.

PS. if you sign up as a new customer in the next 48 hours you get your 2nd month free! (DM me and I will do it for you)
