  Idea Generation

  Mike Townsend • Portland, OR

  Created 10 years ago in Business / Getting Started

  I have started 5 companies, advised dozens of founders and in every meeting I am the "Idea guy", the one to throw 100 ideas against the wall, question your assumptions, play devil's advocate and use conversation to arrive at the best possible decision. This can be for your business or your life.

  Early Stage Fundraising

  Mike Townsend • Portland, OR

  Created 5 years ago in Funding / Venture Capital

  I've raised $24M for 3 companies, sold 2 of them, and have coached dozens of founders through raise fundraising. I have also invested in many startups as an investor so I understand both sides of the table. If you want to raise a Seed or Series A round of capital for your startup, I have developed a program that WORKS if you put in the work, regardless your background or where you live. Investors have a HUGE advantage over Entrepreneurs because they see 300 deals per month, they have the network and they know how to play the game. So many great founders never raise money because they fail at fundraising. I'll walk you through key fundraising steps: - Refining your pitch and vision - Developing the pipeline of investors - Gathering introductions - Timing of the intros - Answering typical investor questions - How to close the deal quickly
