What founders say about the course.
"Honestly, hands down the best fundraising content I’ve come across. Xaver makes it feel like a normal conversation. Before the course I felt lost in investor talks. After going through it, I knew exactly how to explain my round, where to push back, and how the math actually worked. I ended up closing my pre-seed way faster than I expected, and I’m sure I walked away with better terms too. If you’re raising right now, this stuff is gold!"

"I am an Investor and wanted to checkout the course for our portfolio and to be honest it's a game changer. Especially all the bonus materials like cap table, investor lists (with emails!!) is def worth the investment."
Bob Rhode

“The biggest shift for me was mindset. I stopped seeing fundraising as begging for money and started treating it like choosing partners. That confidence changed the whole game.”

“I was really hesitant first buying the course. But it was really good! The section on liquidation preferences and anti-dilution literally saved me from making a huge mistake.”
Elena G. V.

"This course is extremely useful before you go to funding. You walked me through so many things that I have been wondering, but with concrete examples and templates, which saves so much time, and even the small tweaks there (such as investor funnel, how, this is all the information you need). It is a very structured, research-based approach that I love. I think this course brings a lot more value than any of the courses or programs I have taken part in before. You have a simple way of explaining things, and you don't take for granted many of the mystery letter combinations, such as 'minimum viable product' or 'call to action'. What I also loved about this was your humble approach; you don't seem to have an urge to prove that you succeeded because you were born great or because you did much work, but rather it's a combination of many things."

“This isn’t just a fundraising course. It’s a mindset shift. Xaver breaks down not only how to raise, but how to think like a founder who attracts capital. Highly recommend to anyone serious about building:).”
