I help startup founders raise $1-10 million from VCs with a Billion $ Story | ex-VC at $100M firm by Google board member

Fundraising can be brutal.

After talking to 4,000+ founders over the last 10 years,

I’ve discovered three core problems most of them face (and how to solve them):

1/ You can’t book enough investor meetings
2/ Investors don’t see the potential of your business
3/ They pass on you with bullsh*t feedback or ghost you

Each of them alone could end your run.

If these sound familiar it’s likely because you’ve taken fundraising advice from the wrong people.

And that has resulted in an absolute grind of a fundraise.

Something you don’t care to repeat.

I get it because I’ve been there.

And it’s not your fault.

The internet is a noisy place, and those with no experience often speak the loudest.

Why should you listen to me then?

Because I’ve experienced fundraising from all angles:

→ I was a VC
→ I’ve raised money myself
→ I’ve helped 100+ founders raise $1-10 million rounds

And I can tell you why it’s been a grind for you…

Because venture capital isn’t like most markets.

It’s top-heavy.

It’s feast or famine.

I was a VC for a $100M firm led by one of the most powerful men in tech

…and I’ve seen the reality:

A few outliers get more money than they could ever spend. The rest fight for table scraps.

Because VCs only look for one thing:

Future billion $ companies.

Outliers.

They want founders who can bend reality to their will.

Ordinary pitch advice, generic deck templates, and cookie-cutter narratives won’t cut it.

If you follow the ordinary path, will that make you look extraordinary?

Never.

You’ll drown in a sea of sameness with 90% of pitches.

To create something unique you need an intense approach.

That’s why my help is tailor-made for founders:

1/ I’ll show you how to get 80-100 warm investor connections and book meetings

2/ Together we’ll craft your unique Billion $ Story that will make investors chase you

3/ You’ll learn how to apply my tactics and investor psychology to create conviction and FOMO and close your round

Does it work?

Here’s what my client Frank Gu - currently building his second billion $ business - says:

"Uli is an amazing storyteller, period.

If you're anything like me and tend to overthink things with that extra critical and logical voice in your head, do yourself a favor and book a session with Uli immediately.

He will make your story shine, you won't regret it!"
