Last Cohort of 2025: Fundamentals of Capital Raising

A five-week online course designed for sponsors, fund managers, and operators to build a complete, LP-ready capital raising kit—from pitch deck to investor pipeline

Next week, we kick off our last cohort of 2025 for Fundamentals of Capital Raising—a 5-week sprint built around a bold promise: you’ll finish up with a capital-raising kit ready for an LP to wire a check.

Our goal? No more half-finished decks. No more dead-end outreach. You’ll leave with a real plan to raise the capital you need—reviewed, refined, and battle-tested.

Raise Capital with Confidence — Build a Kit That Closes

What You’ll Build:

🗺️ A Curated Investor Target Map
Narrow the universe of allocators down to the ones who actually care about your strategy—and document why.

🧾 A Sponsor & Deal Profile That Passes the Partner-Meeting Test
Articulate your edge, track record, and deal thesis in one clean doc an associate can drop into Monday’s IC deck.

📊 A Programmatic JV Pitch That’s Ready to Send
Build a three-slide deck that tells your story and makes your raise feel inevitable, not speculative.

📬 An Automated 4-Touch Email Sequence
Deploy a cold outreach campaign with proven subject lines and 35% open rates—already scheduled in your inbox.

📝 A Redlined Term Sheet With Your Terms, Not Theirs
Walk through the clauses that matter and produce a markup that looks thoughtful, not combative.

What You’ll Get:

📒 Investor CRM Starter File
Pre-loaded with 250+ vetted LP contacts, tagged by check size, geography, and mandate (Airtable + Excel).

🗂️ Capital-Raising Data Room Blueprint
Folder structures, naming conventions, and checklist that instantly build allocator trust.

📨 Cold Email Templates
Real copy that booked real meetings—with allocators who write checks.

🌐 Lifetime Circle Access
Stay connected, swap decks, and share off-market intel with alumni and mentors.

📚 Plug-and-Play Playbooks
From waterfall models to outreach calendars, it’s all built so you can stop wrestling Google Docs and start raising.
