Guild of founders

Fund raising 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. Fund raising 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 collaborative cohort of founders.

Structure – Boot Camp followed by continuous practical guidance through Online platform. Provides founders a chance to collaborate, share and support each other in various aspects of fund raising. 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.
