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.
Marcela, Francois… I came to this Bootcamp after devouring 10+ books about VC. I got interested in the topic last year. So I covered the basics before the Bootcamp. What you gave me, no book could give me. I love your enthusiasm and your straightforwardness. You’re not agreeable by default, which is hard to find in people who are selling courses and want to appeal to people for better ratings. 😀 You provided us with plenty of real-life experience and equipped us with one-line comebacks that I will definitely use. I’m already missing the energy that we all had at the Bootcamp. Seeing all the other founders in similar situations and helping each other… I don’t know why, but it made me feel less alone in those founder’s struggles. 😉

In the wild wild west of early stage startups loaded with false appearances, the bootcamp is a shot of authenticity you cannot afford to miss. No other words but paradigm-shifting. Forget the pitch deck, we completely reconstructed our outlook on the opportunity and the playing field we are in. True to form, the bootcamp uses a factual, direct, and almost raw, approach, which works wonders to progress over a period of (only) a few days. Make no mistake, it will break you down. It will break patterns of thinking. It will challenge your spirit, but it will patch you up again into a new and upgraded version, necessary to reach new heights. They say travel is the only thing you buy that makes you richer. Well, add Fundraising Bootcamp to that list.

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 that world, and that’s who Marcela and Francois are.
