Fundraising for founders is hard and lonely journey. Founders often do not have practical support and waste a lot of time before they get this right. Fundraising also distracts founders which has an impact on the growth of the start-up.
There is a lot of education material available but limited “on the ground” support while founders go through the journey and engage with investors.
Guild of founders is a 3 weeks collaborative cohort of founders.
Fundraising Bootcamp starts with a series of continuous practical guidance through an Online platform followed by investor connects and pitches/demo days to investors. Provides founders a chance to collaborate, share and support each other in various aspects of fundraising. Venture Handle provides tons of reference material, tools, techniques, one-on-one office hours with experts, investor leads, prepackaged insights and frameworks to go through the venture development and fund-raising process. Most of these resources are accrued through years of experience.
