Raise $1m+ for your startup in 3 months. Even if you don't have a network
Join "The Tavern," a community of founders mastering the art of fundraising through structured workshops and expert guidance.
Raising money for your startup has never been tougher.
Investors are cautious, rounds are more competitive, and warm intros are harder to come by.
I’ve spent the last decade helping early-stage founders navigate this landscape—and I’ve seen firsthand what works.
Through the Funded Founder Framework™, I’ve helped over 1,000 founders raise million-dollar rounds, usually without big networks or epic traction.
This isn’t theory—it’s the step-by-step system built from real pitches, real deals, and real investor conversations.
I know what I’m talking about. I raised capital for my own successful startup, and today I serve as president of North Bay Angels, where I help decide which companies get funded.
Inside the Program, you’ll get access to:
6 Core Hands-On Workshops: The core workshops cover everything from understanding investor psychology to building a standout pitch deck and planning your outreach strategy. This is the key to raising $1m+ in three months.
Additional Workshops: Every two weeks (after the core workshops), I will release additional workshops on fundraising and entrepreneurship.
The Tavern Community: Stay connected with me and Founder Quest community for ongoing guidance and feedback.
Worksheets, references, and other materials to aid your progress
