I've helped founders raise $5B+ from top VCs (a16z, Sequoia, Tiger, SoftBank, Khosla) 🦄 #1 Fundraising Consultant & Investor Outreach specialist on Upwork worldwide 🏆 15+ yrs capital markets, 2,000+ raises, featured in Forbes & TechCrunch 🥇 3X–5X more investor meetings As your Fractional CFO / VC Expert, I run the full capital raise: Investor Lists, Capital Introduction, Valuation, financial models, and the pitch itself — capital formation, end to end. 🌟 The founders I work with are pitching at the high-stakes table. I help them crush it: ● "SoftBank is leading the round - $70M on 725 pre-money" ● “Sequoia wants to lead the round” ● “On our first Series A pitch, we got a verbal offer from Andreessen Horowitz” ● "Someone from the audience at the JP Morgan event stood up and told us BEST PITCH EVER" Founders that work with me are at LEAST 2Xing their raises. ⚡︎I cannot help everybody, but we may be a great fit if you are thinking: ● "There's millions on the line and I want the BEST" ● "Our story has changed since last round!" ● "I know how to run my business, but maybe I'm too close to it" ● "I'm NOT a pitch expert, and I don't have time to mess around with powerpoint!" ● "The last pitch we did was embarrassing - I don't want that EVER again" ● "I need a full pitch package that I KNOW 100% will tell our company’s story RIGHT" We focus on Series A - D rounds ($2M minimum if Late Seed) 🦄 Past clients include: Eterneva Place Technology PATH water SVES 40+ Venture Capital / Private Equity / Hedge Funds Working with me, you will ★ Get a warm-first shortlist of the right angel investors, family offices, syndicates, and seed-to-growth funds — plus the outreach strategy to reach them — so you stop wasting your best weeks on wrong-fit meetings ★ Run a managed raise: investor relations, warm introductions, follow-ups, and momentum engineered to close on your timeline ★ Put your best foot forward for your one shot with that Tier 1 investor ★ Anticipate investor objections and pre-handle them ★ Receive turnkey, investor-grade documents — Pitchbook, CIM, and Investor Deck — futureproofed to raise capital ★ Captivate investors with the elite pitch strategies that $1B+ founders use in their raises ★ Work with an experienced full-stack team that regularly wins business over Goldman Sachs ...and even save money by taking my high-quality work and reusing it in your sales decks My clients have a LOT to say about me: ✅ 𝑰 𝒄𝒐𝒖𝒍𝒅𝒏'𝒕 𝒓𝒆𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒎𝒆𝒏𝒅 𝑬𝒗𝒂𝒏 𝒎𝒐𝒓𝒆 - 100% 𝒘𝒐𝒓𝒕𝒉 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒊𝒏𝒗𝒆𝒔𝒕𝒎𝒆𝒏𝒕! -Shark Tank Winner with multiple VC backing, raised $10M in 3 weeks ✅ 𝑻𝒉𝒊𝒔 𝒅𝒆𝒄𝒌 𝒖𝒏𝒍𝒐𝒄𝒌𝒆𝒅 𝒂 $30𝑴 𝒅𝒆𝒂𝒍 & 𝑰𝑷𝑶 -Lead investor of Consumer business ✅ 𝑶𝒖𝒓 𝒅𝒆𝒄𝒌 𝒘𝒂𝒔 𝒔𝒐 𝒉𝒐𝒕 𝒕𝒐𝒅𝒂𝒚 𝒊𝒕’𝒔 𝒄𝒓𝒂𝒛𝒚… 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑺𝒊𝒍𝒊𝒄𝒐𝒏 𝑽𝒂𝒍𝒍𝒆𝒚 𝑽𝑪𝒔 𝒘𝒆 𝒑𝒊𝒕𝒄𝒉𝒆𝒅 𝑳𝑶𝑽𝑬𝑫 𝑰𝑻... -Biotech CEO with $500M raised + 4 exits + 1 IPO ✅ 𝑾𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝑬𝒗𝒂𝒏’𝒔 𝒅𝒐𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒊𝒔 𝒑𝒖𝒓𝒆 𝒎𝒂𝒈𝒊𝒄 -Founder who raised $10M in 8 weeks Not every business is my client, though. Some signs we might not be a good fit include: ✗ The company is struggling to pay salaries - can’t do that in good conscience ✗ ”Respect for others” is not a core value - we love working with awesome people we respect I've pitched 100s of investors and successfully raised for my own Consumer Products business. I’ve also been an investor, advisor and director – and now I run our inhouse VC - so I’ve got a 360 view from every seat at the boardroom table. I know what it takes to generate investor documents that you feel confident pitching and investors feel safe investing in. 🔢 My stats: ● #1 globally on Upwork for the entire Finance category ● $5B+ raised: SAFE, equity, convertible, debt, bridge, mezz ● Clients raised $22M / week in 2023 on avg + 3 IPOs ● Over 2,000 Pitch Decks + Business Plans built ● Over 1K financial forecasts built from scratch ● Featured in Forbes, TechCrunch, INC, Business Insider + more 🦄 About my company Unicorn Capital: INTEGRITY IN EXCELLENCE above all things: Excellent work, on time, every time.
