What’s in the book?

  • Clarity on what investors actually want—and how to stop wasting time chasing the wrong ones.

  • Frameworks that make fundraising less about luck and more about repeatable strategy.

  • The uncomfortable truths VCs rarely say out loud—translated into actionable advice.

  • A roadmap to build not just a pitch, but a network and reputation that compound over time.

  • Examples of what works—and what crashes—in a pitch so you can spot red flags before they cost you.

  • The confidence to walk into any investor meeting knowing the game and how to play it.
