I used to freeze up navigating VC meetings — now just days after the course, I confidently pivoted mid-meeting when I could see a partner wasn't interested. Instead of losing the opportunity completely, I got strategic advice and valuable introductions. Best pitch prep for founders who want to handle any room with confidence.

I didn't know the end-to-end fundraising process — I was flying blind. Now I have a complete blueprint from first contact to close. I even learned about due diligence and fact sheets I had no clue existed. You don't know what you don't know, and this course fills every gap with practical, straight-up insight that increases your chances of actually getting funded

I had no idea how to approach investors or introduce my startup without sounding desperate. Raise Academy completely changed my approach. Now I know exactly how investors think and what they need to hear. The confidence shift is massive — I actually look forward to investor conversations now.

I didn't understand the general flow of raising money and felt completely lost. Nick made a complicated concept finally make sense — and I raised a round. The logical, battle-tested resources and recommendations gave me exactly what I needed to go from confused to confident to closed.

My biggest challenge was crafting a clear narrative that investors could actually follow. After this course, I can confidently express what I'm doing in three coherent points that land every time. This is a must for any founder who needs to synthesize their thoughts and turn complexity into clarity. My storytelling went from scattered to sharp.

I was struggling with hot intros, deep tech credibility, and getting taken seriously. This course sharpened everything. The result? I was invited to join the Tech Council. That's the kind of real-world outcome you get when you learn from someone who's actually been in the trenches.

I couldn't communicate my opportunity succinctly — every pitch felt bloated and unclear. The course gave me a battle-tested, no-BS playbook that actually works. I nailed my teaser using the killer ChatGPT prompt he shared. If you want actionable, founder-to-founder advice from a whip-smart guy who's done it himself, this is it. Highly recommended.

I had no idea about the fundraising process or who to even reach out to. This course taught me the VC psyche and exactly how to position myself for a successful raise. It's fundraising 101 — table stakes for any founder serious about raising capital. I finally understand how investors think and what they actually need to see.
