> 214 rounds done. Still counting.

200+ rounds. $200M+ raised. Sequoia, A16Z, Founders Fund, Index, all the ones you actually want.

founder of Outsized Ventures. previously partner at SOSV ($1.8B AUM). built 4 companies, exited 2, lost money on more startups than i'd like to admit.

if you're struggling with where to start, get stressed looking at an empty deck, are getting ghosted by VCs, or want to increase your valuation, hit me up.

things i can help with:

✔️ how to turn investor fear into greed
✔️ how to run a fundraising process that ends in a term sheet, not a maybe
✔️ how to structure your deck so VCs find it harder to pass
✔️ how the obscure world of VC actually works from the inside
✔️ warm intros, cold outreach, follow-up cadence and all the unglamorous stuff that closes rounds

## Example Questions

- I've never raised before. What do I do first?
- My deck gets first meetings but no second meetings. What's broken?
- I have 2 term sheets and 4 funds still circling. How do I close without scaring them off?
- I've been passed by 30 investors. Keep going or repackage the round?
