Course overview
Expand your presence. Attract the best founders. Raise capital with ease.
When you learn to operate from a state of presence and inspiration instead of fear and stress, you'll think more clearly, make better decisions, and build stronger relationships.
Imagine enjoying the process of fundraising, raising all the capital you want from aligned investors, being able to clearly identify and attract the founders you most want to back, being seen as the most value-add investor for your founders, and having extraordinary relationships with your investment partners and LPs... and being present with your loved ones when you're not working.
We'll do the deep inner work to remove all the barriers from creating these results, while creating deep connections with a community of vc peers that will support you throughout your career.
