Upcoming Course: Fundamentals of Capital Raising, Live in New York & Online
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 month, we kick off the next online cohort and the last live in New York cohort of Fundamentals of Capital Raising—a 5-week sprint built around a bold promise: 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.
Format: Online | Format: In-Person |
We’ll look forward to seeing you in a Thesis Driven course this summer.
