What is actually funded in 2026/2027

This crash course is meant for entrepreneurs looking for investments in 2026 and 2027 to learn the investments trends and my experience of fundraising, $6.7M of 4 rounds, and how they can make themselves on top of the pile

What you will learn:

Attendees leave able to:

- decide honestly whether they should be raising now, and what has to be true before they start;

- answer "why this, why now, why you" so an investor can repeat it to their partnership without the founder in the room;

- build the narrative spine and the proof ladder their deck needs, and drop the slides that lose a first read;

- run the nine numbers investors diligence, and find the gaps that stall a round before an investor does;

- assemble the memo, the model and the data room so the three documents tell one story;

- build a target list of 100+ investors matched to their stage, sector and cheque size, and open with an email that earns a reply;

- read a term sheet, name the clauses that cost control, and negotiate terms that hold through the next round;

- leave with a 30-day sprint plan for the deck, the memo and the model, in priority order.
