What Your Audience Could Learn
Escape The Pitch Cycle: How To Build Strategic Investor Relationships And Raise Money Faster

Do you really need to meet 100’s investors to raise money for your startup? No. According to Nathan, you don’t even have to pitch investors at all. How?

On your podcast, he can uncover a little-known strategy that helped thousands of startup founders raise millions of dollars fast without giving a single pitch. Nathan will talk about his unique way to build relationships with the right investors, so they get interested in your company long before you actually need them. As a result, deals often get sealed even before opening the official round.

The Top 7 Fundraising Fails: Avoid These Mistakes To Raise More Money Faster

Did you know that 98% of startup founders are raising for the first time and have no idea what to do? And that’s just one of the reasons why only a fraction of them succeed.

On your podcast, Nathan can talk about 7 major “fail patterns” he’s discovered after helping many entrepreneurs raise funds. He’ll share why the majority of pitch decks are horrible and how to fix them, why the spray & pray approach doesn’t work and how to do investor outreach right, why founders have misguided expectations about fundraising, and how they can adjust their methods to see dramatically improved results.

Surprising Lessons From 200+ Founders Who Raised Capital

Nathan’s mission is to make awesome tools that help founders build awesome companies. To do that, he’s built Foundersuite.com, a platform that’s being used by thousands of startups, VCs, I-bankers, placement agents, and PE firms to raise > $3B in capital (and counting).

On your podcast, Nathan will talk about what makes successful funding rounds. He’ll share the process that 200+ startup founders followed to win… everything from using the right tools, to conduct the right research, to “hacks” for finding people that can make warm intros, etc. He’ll also cover how to prepare the right pitch deck, how to get through due diligence, how to close a funding round faster and with more leverage, and much more.
