Upcoming Course: 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
This Monday, we kick off the next cohort of Fundamentals of Capital Raising—a redesigned 5-week sprint built around a bold promise: 35 days from kickoff, you’ll graduate with a capital-raising kit ready for an LP to wire a check.
No more half-finished decks. No more dead-end outreach. You’ll leave with a real plan—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 Swipe File
Real copy that booked real meetings—with allocators who write checks.
🎤 Cohort-Only Pitch Night
A dress rehearsal where peers and mentors stress-test your GTM before it hits an LP’s inbox.
🌐 Lifetime Circle Access
Stay connected, swap decks, and share off-market intel with alumni and mentors.
📚 Plug-and-Play Templates
From waterfall models to outreach calendars, it’s all built so you can stop wrestling Google Docs and start raising.
Course Dates: July 14 – August 15
Live Group Calls: Fridays, 1–2pm ET
Weekly Time Commitment: ~3 hours/week
Tuition: $1,299 with interest-free payment plans available
Instructor-Led + Peer Community Access via Circle
We’ll look forward to seeing you in a Thesis Driven course this summer.
