FAQ
Who is this coaching for?
This investment readiness coaching program is designed specifically for startup founders (Pre-Seed to Series A) who intend to raise capital in the next 3-6 months.
What is the time commitment?
Expect to commit 1-2 hours per week to coaching and reading.
Will I get introductions to investors?
I often introduce founders to my network of VCs and business angels, but only when the alignment is right and the venture is investment ready.
What if I have to reschedule a session?
Coaching sessions can be rescheduled with 24 hours notice. You can do this 3 times before forfeiting a session.
Can I do the program faster?
In special circumstances, I offer the program in a bespoke condensed format for an additional fee. Contact me directly to discuss.
What if we don't vibe?
Get to know me first with a free, 15-minute consultation to discuss your needs. Book your call here.
Why three different prices?
Simply put, the more mature the company, the more work is required of me. Assessing the investment readiness of a Series A company is much more time-consuming than a Pre-Seed startup.
