How To Raise $630 Million

And what's next for my newsletter too

In my opinion it’s hearing from founders who’ve actually done it.

So over the summer I interviewed 60 founders who’ve raised a combined $630+ million for their startups, and I wrote case studies about each one.

I spoke with:

  • A founder who co-founded a startup with Tom Brady

  • Y Combinator founders about how they got in

  • A founder who raised $200 million only to have his investors try to steal his company

I also shared my own story of our fundraising journey with Launch House in full.

And over 50 more founders.

Overall the case studies range from pre-seed to Series D and exited companies, across all sectors, and I’m adding more every week.

And each one covers everything about their fundraising journey:

  • The biggest challenge they faced

  • Their strategy for getting in touch with investors

  • How they drove urgency to get term sheets signed

  • How they positioned their pitch

And a ton more.

It’s part of a larger rebrand I’ll be rolling out over the next few weeks.

See you inside!
