VC investor, Goldman Sachs, Columbia MBA

You have an idea. Maybe you have had it for years. What you do not have is the plan, the model, the pitch and the confidence to put it in front of an investor, a bank or your first customer. That used to take an incubator three months. AI changed the math. In four live Saturdays together, you will finish what most founders never start: a complete 13-section business plan, a 3-year financial model you actually understand, a 10-slide investor deck, and a three minute pitch you deliver live at Demo Day. I sat on the investor side of the table: MBA in finance from Columbia, Goldman Sachs, then venture capital with board seats. On two deals, Sequoia and Andreessen Horowitz led the Series A and I led the Series B, and my venture investments included Palantir and Facebook. I have raised and managed over $1 billion in my career. This bootcamp hands you that investor playbook in four days instead of three months. You bring the idea. AI and I will handle the heavy lifting. AI drafts. You decide.
