Raise the bar on fundraising.

Our Ready to Raise and Plan to Raise programs offer founders the guidance, accountability, and focus required to run a successful fundraising process.

Ready to Raise

We’re partnering with Managing Partners at early-stage VCs, like Jenny Fielding of The Fund, to help founders work through a tight fundraising process.

If you’re raising your next round, this free, 12-week program is for you. Get ready to grow, build your fundraising muscles, and create an accountability system with a cohort of fellow founders.

A glimpse into your Ready to Raise experience:
