To raise capital successfully, you need to understand exactly how investors think—what excites them, what turns them off, and how to present your startup in a way that grabs their attention and gets them onboard.

We’ll debunk the misconceptions many founders have about fundraising and highlight the red flags that make investors hesitate, so you can avoid them and present a stronger, more confident case.

A successful fundraising effort hinges on telling a clear, concise, and compelling story. You’ll learn how to present not just what you’re building, but why it matters—and leave investors wanting to hear more.

Most founders overlook the importance of a solid plan. We’ll guide you through setting up a fundraising strategy, building a target investor list, securing warm introductions, leveraging LinkedIn, and more—so you can maximize your chances of closing a round.

Your pitch isn’t just about what you say, it’s about how you say it. Learn the art of storytelling to stand out from the hundreds of pitches VCs see daily, and walk away with the tools to capture their attention and close your round.

In the world of venture capital, warm connections are gold. By the end of this course, you’ll have met VCs in your industry, built relationships with fellow founders, and cultivated a network that will be invaluable throughout your fundraising journey.

You’re investing in your startup’s success. Get reimbursed as a business expense—either now or after you’ve raised.
