Want to raise capital for your business? I am laying out exactly what to do based upon my experiences and from investors.
If you can’t answer five simple questions, what is your product, what problem does it solve, how does it solve it, who buys it, and what they’ll pay, you’re not raising capital today. In this video I break down what PE & VCs told me directly at an investor conference, including the 35% IRR growth reality. $1M to $3.5M to $7M and how to craft a 10 slide pitch investors actually underwrite.
What you will learn
Equity vs debt. Why a 35% IRR, which investors require, makes equity very expensive. Also, another way I have used and what i have outlined in the video.
Always want active money not passive money.
10 slide pitch deck. No one wants to go over 20 or 30 slides. these are very smart people. They want you to have clarity.
Practice your one line pitch
If you would like me to pressure test your pitch deck? DM me.
The 10 Slide Pitch Blueprint
One line value prop
Problem & urgency
Solution & edge better and different
Market & ICP you can reach
Traction: revenue, growth, retention, LTV & CAC
Go-to-market & unit economics
Competition real alternatives
Team & founder-market fit
Financials, runway, use of funds
The Ask 18-month milestones
There are a lot of "experts" out there giving advice who’ve never built a thing. They’ve never stayed up all night sweating a product launch. Never had to scale a team. Never had to meet payroll.
They’re just regurgitating what they read in someone else’s book.
That’s not me.
I’ve built brands. I’ve scaled them. I’ve exited them. I’ve failed, won, and fought through it all.
And now, my team and I help brands do it every single day — across eCommerce, retail, and digital.
We don’t just advise — we execute.
We write the playbook.
So if you’re done with fluff, fake gurus, and marketers who’ve never sold anything outside of a slide deck — you’re in the right place.
This show is real strategies, real tactics, and real talk.
