Mike TownsendIdea Machine. Raised $24M for 3 startups, sold 2 • Portland, ORRaised $24M for 4 companies, sold 3 of them, and have coached dozens of founders through business strategy and raise fundraising. 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 If you have a company that's growing and you want to raise money, reach out, let's see if we're a fit. What will the call be like? I will read anything you send me before the call to prepare. I'll take the conversation wherever you want, and I find it works best if you come with a list of questions and clearly tell me your goals. I'll listen first and answer very succinctly. I try to give give you the most possible value in the shortest time. I like taking calls on Clarity first because I genuinely enjoy helping people if I can. Second, because I get compensated for my effort. Background Bio Mike has over 10 years of experience building disruptive technology companies.

Noam KostuckiLoving Money, Growth and Humans • Greater New York City AreaI help entrepreneurs make money. A client raised $500k in 8 weeks / Another grew his business to 9M customers / Another made became #30 most viewed TED talk of all time (1) RAISE MONEY FROM INVESTORS / ANGELS / VCs My fastest client was running an augmented reality company and raised $600k within a week of changing their pitch deck. Another client approached with me an idea that was still just a concept, and within 9 months later he raised $750k. (2) DELIVER A WORLD CLASS TED TALK / KEYNOTE I coached Esther Perel to deliver one of the 30th most viewed TED talk of all time with 8,400,000 views. She came back to me to help with her 2nd TED talk, which is already in the top 60 with 5,600,000 views. (3) GROW YOUR BUSINESS / BUILD YOUR BRAND A client started a business while at university. He had no idea how to speak with retailers and big businesses. Within 3 months of working together, he secured a deal with one of UK's biggest retailer. Within another few months he made it to their top 10 Christmas presents list. Another client went from having an idea and no clients to having a full practice. Within 18 months of working together, she got interviewed on national television and had full page articles about her work in national papers. ******************************************************************************* I help people create masterpieces. My speciality is creating magic in life. Here's some of the magic I created in my life: SPORTS - After practicing judo for 10 years and winning the medal at the Brussels Championship, I received the highest score on my black belt exam. PUBLIC SPEAKING - After delivering over 1,000 days of workshops and public speaking, I received the UK Business Speaker of the Year Award runner up, and was invited at TED for the 2nd time. BOOK WRITING - I was invited to speak at Harvard about entrepreneurship because they got hold of my 3rd book. The same year, the Fashion Institute of Technology in NYC made my first book required reading. PHOTOGRAPHY - I spent my entire life doing art, and in 2014 the European Commission invited me to exhibit my photography at their Innovation Conference. BUSINESS COACHING - I worked with over 25,000 people from all over the world and many times, I took massive risks to do what I love. As a result, I was invited to showcase my work in the Coaching Movie and to co-host a monthly radio show on VoiceAmerica for health & wellness entrepreneurs . "The pitch went great! We're just selected for the semi-finals!! Best 20 startups of 13,000 now!" - Jouri Schoemaker, co-founder at Shake-On. ******************************************************************************* "It was so refreshing to hear someone be honest about their experience in business! I've been very keen to get back into running my own business and he has helped me reconfirmed that I should!" James Mitchell - Tenders for Construction "During that hour and a half Noam asked great questions that cut straight to the core of my business, our services, vision and direction. He was able to quickly change my perspective on elements of my business, and offer great advice on new ways to monetize. Noam's thought processes, and the pace with which he can generate sound advice is unparalleled by another other business consultant I've met. I will definitely be approaching Noam for future projects."

Marty GreenbergPrev. Founder/CEO, Raised $7M in VC, $20M in SalesStarting and running a company can be extremely stressful and difficult. One of the hardest parts is running into roadblocks and not knowing how to remove them. I ran into many operating my own companies. I've personally built companies as the CEO and founder that have done over $20M in revenue and have raised over $7M in venture capital from Venture Capital funds in Silicon Valley, New York, and Boston. I've gone through multiple accelerator programs. I've advised and invested in over 50 early-stage tech startups from inception to Series A fundraise. This includes everything from company formation, fundraising, ideation, product-market fit, sales, finance, operations, analytics, and HR for early-stage companies. My style is no bullshit. If I don't think I can help you I'll tell you straight up. I don't sugarcoat feedback because it is the only way you as an entrepreneur will grow.
