MenuPreparing Your Company to Raise Funds
Created 9 years ago in Funding
I have consulted with hundreds of companies who have collectively raised more than $40MM in funding, and almost all of them would agree - raising money can be a seriously intimidating task, especially if you don't truly understand what investors are looking for in your company. My objective is for each founder to understand and view their business as an investor would, knowing which questions need to be answered and ensuring those answers fit investor's expectations. But it's not enough to be really good at Q&A - I'll help you build a better foundation for your company's growth so that investors see the long term value in your company, and you can make that vision a reality.

Prior to speaking with Chris I had been going in circles on making a decision on the direction of my career.
After spending 30 minutes with Chris I had a clear direction and an action plan.
Definitely recommend chatting with Chris!

Chris is a phenomenal resource and a genuine mentor. If you are preparing to raise funds, I would highly recommend involving him in your thinking and decision making before you go public. Chris kindly reviewed all my documentation (Deck, Financials, Business Plan etc) and gave an honest appraisal with valid points for consideration and improvement. We had a solid 50mins together and I feel a ton more prepared than I was prior to the call. Solid stuff.

This call was simply just AWESOME for so many reasons, but I will highlight the most important ones here!! First of all, Chris is super knowledgeable when it comes to the components of the launch and the surrounding nuances that plays into this entire process. In addition, Chris added even more value to the call by asking his partner, Ryan, to join us on the call. Together they contributed some very unique perspectives on my app and set some clear steps on what to do next. Thanks a bunch!!!

Chris was very personable, listened, and provided succinct answers to my questions. It's clear he has witnessed the good, the bad, and the ugly when it comes to many a business formation and launch. My main takeaways from our call: start small and test assumptions first! I will likely choose Chris again when I need another new business consult.
