Chris Haroun will make investors take your startup seriously

I have spent my career on the investor side of the table. After my MBA in finance from Columbia and years at Goldman Sachs, I moved into venture capital, where I sat on boards and heard hundreds of founder pitches. On 2 deals, Sequoia and Andreessen Horowitz led the Series A & I led the Series B. My investments included Facebook & Palantir before they went public, & I have raised and managed over $1 billion in my career.

Now I teach founders what that chair taught me: what gets funded and why. I have taught more than 2 million learners across 196 countries, and my approach is simple: my method asks the right questions, AI does the typing, and you make the decisions. Walk in with an idea. Walk out with a business plan, a financial model, a pitch deck and the confidence to stand behind them.
