We have helped companies raise $275M+

A Proven Success Model.

You’re a founder.

In other words, you’re really amazing at identifying opportunity and seeing where things can go. You’re probably pretty good at getting things done, recruiting talent and speaking openly on what you’re doing.

Here’s the problem.

You need the capital to make your dreams a reality. Raising capital is a whole new ball game and it doesn’t fit into any of the other categories you’re comfortable in. Do you know the different types of investors? Do you know the “language” they speak?

If you’re already an expert at raising capital, our program is probably not for you.

However, like most early stage founders, if you’re struggling to communicate the vision and capture the attention of the investors you desperately need – keep reading.

Simply put, you don’t know how to:

Communicate to the Crowdfunding Investor Type
Create an attractive and compelling listing
Find your ideal investor audience
Identify the absolute best advertising strategies
Leverage the power of your existing relationships
Effectively recruit friends and family
Create a marketing engine to turn your investors into brand ambassadors

And THAT is what we’re going to teach you. We walk you through it together, step-by-step, tailored around your company’s strengths and weaknesses.

Our team has been involved in Equity Crowdfunding before it was officially launched. We’ve helped hundreds of companies market their company and raise millions of dollars. And unlike any other agency out there, we’ve actually raised money for ourselves too.
