SEED TO SERIES C
Valuable to any founder from Seed round all the way to Series C. We support companies with high growth potential.
Interactive & Action-driven
Intensive, interactive and hands-on. We don’t just teach you, but take your hand and guide you through the preparation process.
How much time you need to close your round successfully
Don’t believe the hype: it takes time, and a lot of focused work, to complete your round of funding successfully. Yes, we all heard the fairy-tale stories too, but they’re the exception, not the rule.
‘best time to join our Bootcamp? Typically 6 months before you need to close your round.
Most founders plan too little time, so they prepare and deliver poorly, have no time to incorporate feedback and iterate, and end up with no, or bad, term sheets. Don’t be that founder. 90% preparation, 10% inspiration.
The second best time to join us? Right now.
“My top tip: do the course before you think you need it, it will totally change the way you plan your next round!”

Jack Bidgood // Thirdfort
Although we had raised funds before, the Fundraising Bootcamp came at exactly the right time for us. […] this took a monumental amount of work but invaluable guidance from Francois and the team. He’s helped us avoid the common pitfalls and his framework is delivered in a no-BS, practical manner. I didn’t think I had the time to attend at first with everything on but each session got better and better and the outcome – $20m and 10x valuation on our prior raise was significantly improved by the guidance and advice of Francois. I’d highly recommend the bootcamp!

Vicky Brock // Vistalworks
This was the single most valuable fundraising training I’ve ever had. Despite being a seasoned entrepreneur and having raised before, there was so much I learned here that will completely change the way I run the processes of fundraising. I feel confident I have the tools, templates and processes to now run the most effective fundraise possible for Vistalworks. I urge all founders to invest time in this programme before they start seriously fundraising.Henrik Hagemann // Puraffinity
Great for preparing your fundraising materials ahead of going to market, with super fresh data on which VCs are active and what caveats to look out for. Even with institutional investors already on board, I’d highly recommend it as a way to reduce chances of fundraising poorly.
