What you'll learn

Build a 60-Day Close Blueprint

Structure your raise with a clear timeline, investor sequencing, and strategy so you’re not fundraising indefinitely.

Batch Investor Conversations for Maximum Leverage

Why taking meetings randomly kills momentum, and how to compress outreach so interest compounds instead of drifts.

Create Real Signaling (Without Faking It)

How to secure an anchor, frame soft commits properly, and communicate progress in a way that pulls investors forward.

Control the Timeline & Not the Other Way Around

Learn how to handle “let's circle back next month,” slow diligence, and passive investors without losing momentum.

Convert Interest Into Commitments

The exact follow-up cadence, update structure, and framing that turns “this is interesting” into signed checks.

Why this topic matters

In today’s market, dragging a round for 3–6 months kills momentum and erodes leverage. A tightly run 60-day raise signals strength, clarity, and demand. Investors don’t move because they 'like' the company, they move when there’s structure, momentum, and a defined window to act. This session gives you an insight into how to create that pressure and close withing 60 days.

ex-VC | ex-startup CFO | 50+ Investments | 8 Exits

I’ve raised multi-millions for startups as their CFO and operator/advisor before launching my own venture fund. Across the fund and angel portfolio, I’ve invested in 50+ startups with 8 successful exits.


I’ve coached founders through successful fundraises and evaluated thousands of deals from both sides of the table. Having sat in both the investor seat and the CFO seat, I bring a rare blend of investor psychology and practical fundraising systems.


Now, my focus is on helping founders create urgency, accelerate investor decisions, and close their rounds faster using the same systems I’ve used throughout my career.
