Get confidence to play all the investor dynamics, driving the process on your own terms and pace.

TOOLS USED BY PROS, TEMPLATES THAT WORK AND YOUR CUSTOM INVESTOR LIST
Francois is a seasoned tech entrepreneur, investor and a former investment banker.
After building 7 companies, joining the startup-to-NASDAQ IPO ride, experiencing one bankruptcy and everything in-between, he has a thing or ten to share.
Francois has raised over $200m for his startups, and has been mentoring startups for years, with an ability to be both very founder friendly and very direct, being known for his no-BS and practical approach.
His experience includes RealNetworks, Polycom, Symantec, The Cloud Wifi, and co-founding Speed Ventures, Europe’s first accelerator ($70m, 28 companies, 4 IPOs).
He's now the co-founder, CEO and programme lead at the Fundraising Bootcamp.
Seriously, the inside knowledge and experience we got here can't be emulated or gained on some get-rich-quick type of online 'courses' - it takes people with deep insight and rich experience (also experience in failing and making mistakes) to understand this world, and that's who Marcela and Francois are.

You are often told as a founder to beware of paid for services promising funding help. Fundraising Bootcamp is not that. It's THE coaching service you need to reach funding goals. To be honest it's priceless. Fundraising is no longer alien. I now know exactly what to do and have my messaging 100% right.

This was the single most valuable fundraising training I’ve ever had. Despite having raised before, there was so much I learned here that has completely change the way I fundraise. I have the tools, templates and processes to now run the most effective fundraise possible for Vistalworks. I urge all founders to invest time in this programme before they start seriously fundraising.
