Over the last decade, I’ve been a part of $400m worth of venture investment as a VC-backed founder and investing at a tier-1 VC. 

I've learnt a lot about what it takes to fundraise for startups and invest well as a VC.

During this time I have been searching to find the secret sauce to making fundraising more successful.

And you know what?

There's a proven and tested method by:

  1. Building the right relationships through a structured network
  2. Telling a clear and concise narrative that makes investors want to join you
  3. Using the right frameworks, processes and preparation before you launch and as you go through your fundraise

The real secret to having a more successful fundraise for your startup is to create an Operating System for how you tackle your fundraise.

So you can:

  • Meet investors via warm connections in your network
  • Make them want to invest into you with an investable narrative
  • Use a system to make sure you are doing the right work at the right time

All so you can get an oversubscribed round for your start-up.

By the end of the program, you'll be equipped with the tools, frameworks and knowledge to prepare, launch and complete a fundraise in the right way.

And Fundraising Founders love the Operating System!

Sana Al-Badri

Co-founder, Sage Fund
"Gian's advice has been extremely useful and not the kind of advice you can simply find googling around. He shares inside tips that founders and even VCs themselves are unaware of. Knowing more of the psychology behind fundraising has made a big difference for us getting funding for our fundraise. This allowed us to raise €500k."

 

Dominic Kamara

Co-Founder, BOSO Bamboo
"Hands down the best value for money I’ve ever spent. Gian breaks down the VC fundraising process and psychology behind it all to demystify the VC system. If you are a founder looking to level up - just do it, I promise you won’t regret it! Tt's the best investment in terms of learning that I've ever made,  without a shadow of a doubt."

Vishal Amin

Co-founder, Until
"Gian knows his stuff! Despite having fundraised multiple times before for my own businesses and supporting others - what I have learnt has been a game changer. His hands-on experience has given me invaluable insight, not only into the mindset of an investor and the process, but critically the importance of discipline and structure. This allowed me to raise ÂŁ4m for my start-up."

Will Gibbs

Partner, Octopus Ventures

"Gian has a fantastic ability to spot unusually talented entrepreneurs and has the rare position of having been on both sides of the pitch! I worked with Gian looking at thousands of opportunities and many of the key principles in this program reflect how the venture capital world operates and the questions an investor is thinking, but wouldn't say!"

Here’s what some other founders are saying about the program...

Who have leveraged this system designed to make you fundraise like a machine.

Selva
Founder, ObexMetrics
"When I tendered my card, I had a nagging suspicion whether it is going to be an expensive mistake. Coming from life-long technical leadership side to business side, I was completely unprepared, so I went ahead and signed up for the course. I am very pleasantly surprised by the insane amount of value I got out of the course. In retrospect, the fees I paid seem very cheap."
Corey
Co-Founder, DukaBook
"I have built 7 and 8 figure agency businesses but never quite knew how to tackle fundraising for my new tech startup, DukaBook. Gian showed me the simple steps and work needed to successfully fundraise helping me with my systems, narrative and network. I wouldn't have been able to raise 7 figures without him."
Maryon
Co-Founder, Femmar
"It felt like we were trying to attract funds blindfolded. We had no real concept of a system or proper method. That is, until we were introduced to Gian. He guided us through his successful formula so investors have a sense of competition. He revamped our narrative and finally it feels like it communicates what we have to offer. We are grateful."
Samuel
Co-Founder, AFH Europe
"Gian’s advisory service helped me develop a clear outreach and communication strategy that has helped me expand my network and successfully reach potential partners. The accountability he gave me to do the right work was important in me starting my fundraising journey. He came highly recommended, and I am happy to say, he lived up to it. "
Frieda
Founder, Dear Health
"Fundraising had been such a hard concept for me to understand, especially as a woman trying to raise from a male dominated industry. Gian simplified what makes a VC-backed founder great. It's a big reason for why I was able to raise my $1.5m seed round."
Mihalis
Founder, Athroa
"We worked with Gian during the acceleration period of one of our startups, Shuttle Catheters –a med-tech spinoff. He helped us tremendously with his genuine, direct, and accurate insights, when we had trouble articulating our unique value proposition and structuring our business plan accordingly. His mentoring helped me overcome our catch-22 situation thanks to his ability to unloose gordian knots."
Hatim
Co-Founder, Treety
"This program is essential for any founder who wants build a VC scale business. While I had personally been involved in many fundraises prior to this, I always felt that I was missing some key ingredients. Gian was able to help me identify exactly what those missing pieces were for me and a lot more - all thanks to his insider perspective and extensive experience from both sides of the table. To summarize - I don't have any unknown unknowns with regards to fundraising anymore, and feel intuitively confident about every future raise."
Alex
Founder, MyAskAI & Pluto Travel
"Gian's knowledge is incredibly insightful. I discovered this before my 3rd round of investment and wish I had all this information at the start of my founder journey. He's managed to condense years of his own experience into this system."
Gideon
Co-Founder, Loddie
"I now understand the psychology behind what makes VCs tick and the exercises I need to do to successfully fundraise. Gian has given me the tools to make sure I do the right work instead of frantically googling around trying to find out what I actually need to do."
Eldin
Co-Founder, Diag-Nose
"Fundraising Founder OS is an incredible program and a must-have, especially for first-time founders. 99% of capital raise courses out there focus on the preparatory materials (pitch deck, data room, investor pipeline etc) but very few touch on the psychology of venture capital, how to build a warm intro network and how to execute a tight fundraising process that is competitive and effective. This one does the latter. Gian’s real-world experiences from being a founder and his time at Octopus VC brought the material to life, making the learning process both engaging and highly informative. I have learned a lot and highly recommend it. "

Meet Gian Seehra -
Hey there, I'm the founder behind the 'Fundraising Founder OS'.

I started my career as a serial founder.
However I failed to fundraise for my first 3 startups.
This was a frustrating experience and I spent a long time trying to understand why I failed.
I applied these learnings to my next two companies where we raised $16,000,000.
I then joined Octopus Ventures, one of Europe's largest Venture Capital firms, as a VC.
During my 3 years at Octopus I was a part of $150,000,000 in venture capital funding from pre-seed to series B companies.​
This allowed me to see the other side of the coin in fundraising.
Then, in 2020, I decided to leave my VC job as I had the itch to be a founder again.
And I have now spent the last 2 years trying to solve how to make a structured process to fundraising.
The founders I have helped have gone on to raise $200,000,000+ through this process.
And I can help you build yours.
