Can’t get meetings with VCs? Angels ignoring you? Family offices don’t know you exist?
Finding investors. Connecting with investors. Booking a meeting with an investor. Getting a yes from an investor. Getting decent terms from an investor. In 2024, it’s next to impossible, time-consuming, and expensive
Why? VCs and Angels used to be forgiving of spotty financials, weak decks, amateur approaches, and spray-and-pray middlemen. But more and more modern investors insist on direct interaction with founders who have everything ready for due diligence.
Look at it this way: In 2018, you could get from point A to point B with Uber or Lyft or by hopping in your sedan and driving yourself. In 2024, you need a stronger engine, better fuel, alternative routes, and a larger gas tank to make it.
We can show you exactly how to roadmap, fuel, optimize, and drive your capital raising.
We equip and empower driven founders with the exact tools, methodologies and teams I use every day. You will OWN your capital raising process and its resulting relationships.
Do not apply if …
You treat raising capital as a ‘side project’
Your business & model are weak, e.g. slim margins, shrinking TAM’s, etc…
You think you can outhustle your fundraising skill gaps
It takes you weeks – versus days – to execute a strategy
You are unwilling to invest in non-investor relationships, e.g. partners, mentors, etc…
A handful of “no’s” from investors is enough to make you quit
You aren’t willing to spend real money on ‘investor-grade’ platforms
You want to outsource your raise – or pass off the ‘hard parts’ to a minion

In the past decade, I’ve directly raised a half-billion dollars in capital for startups across nearly every vertical. I learned to fundraise from a combination of tough mentors and expensive lessons.
2024 is the hardest VC market I’ve ever encountered. VCengine represents all of my learnings, tempered by current in-the-trenches experience.
