Startup Fundraising Consultant | Top 1 Expert-Vetted
I help startups and founders raise capital through investor-ready pitch decks, fundraising strategy, and grant applications. I’ve supported 400+ clients in securing over $20M in funding across early-stage and growth rounds. Focused on clear, data-driven narratives that convert investors and funding bodies into commitments. Most of my clients are based in the USA, though I work with entrepreneurs across markets wherever the funding opportunity fits. I help entrepreneurs get their crowdfunding and grant strategies right, and implement them when it matters. Whether you’re planning a Kickstarter campaign, an equity crowdfunding round, or applying for grants, I work with you on the preparation and execution that actually determine whether you’ll hit your target. To date, I’ve supported over $20M raised across 400+ engagements. A few highlights: Yumerium: $3M+ in token sales Gather Online: £538,000 equity crowdfunding (215% funded) HandyCase: $305,000 on Kickstarter (406% funded). I’m Top 1% Expert-Vetted on Upwork and hold a Yale University certificate in Financial Markets, which means you get someone who understands both the numbers and the ground-level execution that moves campaigns forward.
