Guild of founders

Fundraising for founders is a 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 educational material available but limited “on the ground” support while founders go through the journey and engage with investors.

Guild of founders is a collaborative cohort of founders powered by AI platform -Raiseloft

Structure – Half-day Boot Camp followed by continuous practical guidance through AI powered Online platform. 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.
