ABOUT ME
Over my career, I have been a part of $350m in venture capital fundraising from pre-seed to series B companies.
I was able to see best-in-class pitch decks and entrepreneurs presenting to me. Some of these entrepreneurs have gone on to raise $100m+ in fundraising each.
Then, in 2020, I burnt out and decided to leave VC.
However, during my time as a VC I realised something...
Investors back founders not companies. People invest into people.
Yet, founders don't know how to show they are investable.
And in the pursuit of checklist ticking "what investors look for", they fail at the most important one:
How to make investor's want to fund YOU as a founder.
That's why I started my boutique advisory firm: to help founders build their fundraising operating system to make sure they get funded.
