"As a founder without investor relationships, I needed the perspective of how investors think and how they approach a cold email. Lance gave me an understanding of how an investor skims my email, what they are looking for and how their mental filter operates. After some quick tweaks, we'll be reeling in the big fish!”

“I'm lucky to have met Lance during a foundational period at my company Credder Inc. His clarity of thought and focus on the key drivers of a business have proven to be invaluable to me. Lance has a true talent for taking his past experience and marrying it with the often urgent and stressful situations a founder finds themselves in."

I've helped over 1,200 founders raise their $1m pre-seed rounds (on average).
I created Founder Quest™ to share my fundraising system with you, so you can raise $1M or more in 3 months without a network.
When I founded my first company, Anonymizer, I struggled to raise the capital we needed.
I had no idea why investors turned us down when I thought we had such potential.
After my successful exit, I started angel investing and immediately realized what I had been doing wrong.
Now I want to share that knowledge and experience with you.
Helped 1200 founders raise their $1m pre-seed rounds.
Raised millions of dollars for Anonymizer
Made over 30 angel investments
