4-Week Fundraise Sprint
Get your first raise ready for the meetings that matter.
For validated founders planning to raise in the next three months. We work directly on your actual raise, story, deck, pitch, and investor process.
Not a course. Your company. Your raise.
Who this is for
Close enough to get serious
You have something real. The raise is close. And you do not want to learn the whole process in live investor meetings.
This is probably a fit if:
- You have a real company and some outside evidence that people want what you are building.
- You are actively raising or planning to start within the next three months.
- This is your first serious pre-seed or seed raise.
- You want direct judgment on the raise, not an outsourced fundraiser or a list of investor introductions.
Firsthand experience
Specific. Not theoretical.
I learned fundraising from inside it.
I co-founded Ren Energy and led fundraising across three institutional rounds totaling about $6 million.
Those rounds included both SAFEs and priced equity. I took the meetings, rebuilt the story, negotiated the terms, and learned where a process tends to break because I was the founder running it.
- 3 rounds
- Institutional funding
- ~$6M
- Raised firsthand
- SAFE + priced
- Experience across both structures
- 6 years
- Building Ren Energy
What we will pressure-test
Your company. Your raise.
The raise itself
Should you raise? When? How much? What milestone does the money actually need to get you to?
The investment story
Why this problem? Why now? Why you? Why could this become much bigger than it looks today?
Your deck
We tear it apart, rebuild the logic where needed, and make sure every slide supports the story.
The strategy
Investor targeting, sequencing, momentum, and how to avoid using your best investors as practice rounds.
The pitch
Practice the actual pitch and rehearse how to answer the difficult questions you’ll likely get.
Four weeks together
Direct and practical
How we will work
Core sessions
90 min: Fundraise diagnostic
We pressure-test the raise itself, your current position, and what needs to happen before you start.
90 min: Story and narrative
We pull apart the company and build the investment story underneath the deck.
60 min: Fundraising strategy
Targeting, sequencing, process, momentum, and how you will actually run the raise.
60 min: Mock investor meeting
You pitch me. I push back like an investor, and we tighten what is not working.
Between-session support
2 × 30 min tactical check-ins
For the inevitable stuff that comes up once we are in it.
Detailed deck and material review
I review your materials and give direct feedback between sessions.
Direct access for all four weeks
For questions, decisions, and things that do not need another meeting.
Follow-up
One follow-up call within 30 days
Once you have started talking to investors, we regroup around what you are hearing and what to adjust.
What should change
Four weeks later
You should leave with a raise you can explain and a process you know how to run.
- 01
A defined raise and use of funds.
- 02
A much sharper investment story.
- 03
An investor-ready deck.
- 04
A practiced pitch.
- 05
A clear investor targeting and sequencing strategy.
- 06
A plan for running the actual process.
- 07
A better understanding of the objections you’re likely to face.
I help with the judgment. You still take the meetings and raise the money. I cannot promise you will raise. Nobody should. I can help make sure you give the process your best shot.
