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.

I recently completed Chris Haroun’s course on building a LinkedIn-optimized resume, and I can say without hesitation that it delivered real value. What stood out most is how practical it is. Instead of generic advice, the course gives you a clear, repeatable structure: the Enhanced Harvard Business School resume template, a method for writing achievement-focused bullets, and guidance on making your resume ATS-friendly so it actually gets past automated screening. Everything is immediately applicable, so I could start improving my own resume while going through the material. The LinkedIn section was equally useful. It walks through your headline, About section, experience and skills with a specific logic behind each choice, so your profile works harder for you with recruiters. (I never thought I needed something like this, but now that I went through it I gotta I learned a lot! and Chris is an awesome person who motivated me all along the way!) As a senior professional with many years of experience, I expected to already know most of this. I still came away with a sharper way to present my background, quantify impact, and tailor my resume to specific roles. Chris’s teaching style is clear, direct and no-nonsense, and he clearly cares about students getting results. Who it’s for: Anyone starting a job search, changing careers, or experienced professionals whose resume hasn’t been updated in a while. Bottom line: Highly recommended. The course is great value for the time and money.

Chris's bootcamp is an absolute game-changer for navigating the modern job market. The actionable strategies for leveraging AI to optimize resumes and LinkedIn profiles were incredibly practical and easy to implement. I left the course with a complete, built-out system, rather than just a theoretical checklist.
