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!"

Integral Insights

I help businesses identify their growth potential and get a clear picture of how to move their business forward.

I choose to work in long-term partnerships with a select group of founders, CEOs and leaders. My role is a mixture of strategic advisor, expert, confidant, coach and cheerleader. 

𝐌𝐲 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐬 𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐤 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐯𝐞𝐬
In less than 12 months, Integral Insights has helped multiple businesses grow beyond what they first thought possible.


▪️ A female fitness business worked with us to open its first five franchisee locations in under 12 months.
▪️ Helpeda late-stage tech start-up raise $5 million to expand its operational capability.
▪️ A mental health service provider 3x’ed its annual fundraising capability and doubled their operating efficiency after 4 months of working together.

𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐈 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐩 𝐲𝐨𝐮

We can work together to:
▪️ Find growth opportunities.
▪️ Hire the right people and get the most out of your team.
▪️ Create a clear and easy-to-execute growth plan.

Because we’ll be working together closely, I do require that:
▪️ You have a growth mindset.
▪️ You’re ready to work hard and make changes.

Integral Insights Founder & Business Growth Specialist

If the idea of raising capital makes you nervous, you’re not alone. Most of my clients feel this way when they come to me — even those who have done multiple investment rounds on their own before. 


I can give you confidence in your capital financing strategy. Together we can: 
 ▪️ Go over non-investment-related growth options and ensure that bringing in new investors is the right choice for your business.
▪️ Discuss different ways of raising capital and decide what’s right for you.
▪️ Optimise your business for investment, so you maximise your valuation.
▪️ Identify potential investors and decide who to target.
▪️ Create and deliver the perfect pitch.
▪️ Talk through the pros and cons of the investment offers you receive.

𝐌𝐲 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐬
Throughout my career, businesses I’ve worked with have raised over $100M in capital from investors. Since starting Integral Insights, some success stories include: 


▪️  A fitness equipment business seeking capital investment identified and executed an alternate growth plan and is on track to 5x their value in 3 years.

▪️   An late-stage greentech business raised $5 million in investment over 9 months.
 
▪️  A small healthtech business found the perfect investor who supports their mission and aligns with their values.


As one client put it:

“Having started a game development company in a country with little to no confidence among local investors, we were keen to look for funds internationally. But like most start-ups we didn’t have a clue.
We reached out to Niv via LinkedIn in the hopes that he could help. In just a few short weeks, we have our Go-To-Market strategy, an optimized Financial Framework and are now well-positioned to engage with our target investor universe.”

Raising Capital

Before starting Integral Insights, I oversaw the purchase of various businesses — and I saw business owners make the same mistakes over and over. 

If you’re ready to sell your business, I can help you avoid common mistakes and build a clear exit strategy that extracts the most value for your business. 

𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐥𝐮𝐝𝐞 𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐩:
▪️ Making small changes that have a huge impact on your sale price. 
▪️ Creating a plan for stepping away from the business or staying on in a different capacity.
▪️ Identifying potential buyers and deciding who to target.
▪️ Creating and delivering the perfect pitch.
▪️ Understanding what a fair and reasonable offer is.

Founder of Integral Insights | Business growth and raising capital | Helped a late-stage startup grow from $18M to $200M | 14+ years experience in private equity and venture capital

If you’re a founder or CEO with a growth mindset, a values-based approach to doing business, and an annual revenue above $2M, let’s connect.

Because I’ve worked as both an investor and operator, I have direct experience in growing a business while also maintaining the lens of an investor looking to generate outsized returns. 

▪️ I’ve helped founders & CEOs raise over $100M in capital.
▪️ Across a 14-year career in private market investments, I have invested $500M+ across 100+ portfolio companies.
▪️ I was part of a core team that scaled a late-stage startup from $18M to over $200M in 5 years.

I believe in being congruent and aligned in my actions. 

I’m not the sort of advisor who will tell you to sacrifice your business vision or encourage you to make decisions that don’t sit well with your values.

I assure you, you can scale your business WITHOUT compromising on what matters to you.

We help you: 
▪️ Identify growth opportunities that align with your values.
▪️ Execute these opportunities at a speed that is right for your team.
▪️ Explore the right funding pathways for you, even if raising external capital is not what you’re looking for. 

𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐈 𝐝𝐨 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐈 𝐝𝐨

There are too many incredible values-driven businesses that have the ability to positively impact the world but aren’t getting the support they need. 

I want to change that. 

I choose to work with businesses who are transparent, put their values first and treat their people well. (And I choose not to work with products or services that hurt people or threaten the environment.)


For me, a good day is one where I can:

▪️ Help a founder realise the true potential of their business regardless of what the world has led them to believe. 
▪️ Simplify the world of capital raising for a CEO so that they can navigate the landscape with maximum confidence and minimum stress.
▪️ Provide a safe, judgement-free space for a client to be vulnerable enough to ask the questions that have been holding them back.
▪️ Test myself in the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu gym against my teammates who often push me beyond my limits.  

𝐋𝐞𝐭’𝐬 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐜𝐭.

I enjoy engaging with founders and learning about how their business is going to transform the world —  so even if you’re not ready to work together or aren’t looking to scale right now, reach out. I’d love to talk to you.
