Crafting a Powerful Ask - the Secret Weapon in Your Investment Pitch

I have helped 200+ companies with capital & fundraising strategy. These founders have raised between $25K and $20M. I've noticed a pattern.

Imagine an investor likes you, understands your business, and thinks your business will be successful, but they still don’t want to invest. What might have gone wrong?

The answer may be your "ask". Are you providing a clear value proposition for an investor?

After analyzing 500 companies in detail over the last 10 years, successfully raising $12M for my own ventures, and investing in 12 companies as an angel investor, I have learned best practices in how to communicate the "ask" in your investment pitch.

Nothing would make me more happy than to help you build your own secret weapon - a clear, powerful, compelling ask that helps you win investment.

I've counseled hundreds of founders on these common pains:

• "Fundraising is taking all my time"
• "I'm not sure why I'm not getting traction with investors"
• "Why is my deck/message not resonating with investors?"
• "I don't know any investors" or "My network is tapped"
• "What can I do to become more investable?"

If any of these are you, let's talk!

How to Use Both Equity AND Debt to Fund Your Venture

If only 2% of companies ever raise venture capital, how do businesses grow?

I have helped 200+ companies with capital & fundraising strategy. These founders have raised between $25K and $20M.

The key is often stepping outside the "equity funding conveyor belt" and looking at a broader set of solutions for capitalizing your business.

I've sat on both sides of the table - I've been a founder (one exit, $12M raised for my own ventures) and an angel investor (12 investments, analyzed 5,000+ companies), and noticed how painful the fundraising process is for both founders and investors.

I've counseled hundreds of founders on these common pains:

If any of these are you, I can help in these ways:

• Share best practices that have worked for 200+ founders
• Help you understand what each type of investor is looking
• Help you explore 50+ different sources of capital
• Give you more options for funding your business
