Like everything we do, this webinar is fast paced, brutally honest, BS-free, based on facts and actionable stuff only.
Using hard data (not 'opinions') we'll guide you through the new investor landscape.
It’s a good preview of what you can get out of our Fundraising Bootcamp - which over 370 founders used to raise €800m+ successfully.

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).
We'll analyse Q4/2025 data to give you a no-BS view of the Venture Capital landscape, including the biggest challenges in fundraising now.
Fundraising is full of traps and you can't afford to learn on the way. We'll cover the most common ones and how to avoid them.
What to expect from your round right now and what's different this time. The things you should do immediately, and which KPIs investors actually care about right now.
Ask us any fundraising or VC landscape question you have. We'll offer a safe and open space for founders to get the support they need to nail their fundraising round.
THE FUNDRAISING BOOTCAMP
The Fundraising Bootcamp is for you. It's an intensive (and intense!) investment preparation programme - you'll leave with a playbook that helps you prepare and execute each step of your fundraising process.
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.
