Course overview
From $0 to $1M in 60 Days (Even When "Experts" Say It's Impossible)
Forget What You've Been Told About Fundraising
"The way the top-end venture capitalist firms work is they'll take you seriously if you come in introduced by somebody they've worked with before, and they won't take you seriously if you don't." — Marc Andreessen
I'm here to tell you that's complete BS.
I've raised $4.3M+ for my startups—including $1M in just 60 days using cold emails. No warm intros. No "network." Just a strategic approach that most VCs don't want you to know about.
This Isn't Another Theoretical Fundraising Course
01
Outsiders: Cold emailing is more effective than begging for warm intros when you are a first-time founder.
02
Ambitious founders: 60 days is all you need (not 6+ months). You honestly do not have six months to raise. This course is about moving fast.
