How founders are going from a chaotic, lucky raise to closing their round in 60 to 90 days, without cold outreach, dead-end meetings, or luck.

I've sat on both sides of the table.

I failed at fundraising twice before I got it right. Those two startups couldn't raise, purely because I didn't have a system for how to fundraise properly, and in the end I had to shut them both down.

My third company was different. This time I'd learned what makes investors move and how to run a proper fundraise, and I raised $16M. But only after failing two companies and having to close them.

Then I spent three years at Octopus Ventures, one of Europe's largest VC funds, where I was part of deploying $200M into companies from pre-seed to Series B, watching those same patterns play out from the investor's side of the table.

Now I've helped 120+ founders raise over $250M using this exact system.

Even with prior experience, I knew something was missing. His approach systematized the entire process, giving me a clear pipeline, a repeatable framework, and a refined messaging strategy. I walked away with a method I'll use for every future fundraise.

I had never raised before, and the truth is I would not have got this done without Gian. The psychology is the biggest part of fundraising, and it is the part nobody teaches you. Understanding what actually moves an investor toward a term sheet, and how to build that through a round, was everything. By the end I could see the psychology myself and close it, but it was Gian who got me there.

Before working together, I struggled to explain my business to investors in a way that created real conviction. I was too deep in the technical detail and didn't have a clear structure for how to tell the story. Working with Gian completely changed that. We rebuilt the narrative from the ground up, clarified what really mattered, and turned the pitch into something investors immediately understood.

I didn't know how to connect with investors properly in the meeting so was always failing to raise properly. Gian helped me structure how to prepare a fundraise, how to communicate and what to say in meetings, especially around my founder origin story and why I started my business.

Gian's Fundraising Founder program was incredibly insightful. I discovered this before my 3rd round of investment and wish I had all this information at the start of my founder journey. He's managed to condense years of his own experience, and weeks of reading fundraising blogs yourself, into an actionable and compact program. Extremely well spent money.

I didn't realise how much of a network I already had until Gian helped me unlock it. We reworked how I communicated the company to investors, and that combination of warm introductions I didn't know I had, plus a much sharper narrative, is what got the round done.

Before joining I thought I understood fundraising. After all, I had raised before. What I realised is it doesn't work the way you expect. It gave me a clear inside look at the process, and the confidence to walk in knowing I was one of the strongest founders they'd speak to that day.

Gian's advice has been extremely useful and not the kind you can simply find googling around. He shares inside tips that founders and even VCs themselves are unaware of. Knowing more of the psychology behind fundraising made a big difference.

Before working with Gian, I had raised before, but never with structure or clarity. I was just figuring it out as I went. His program gave me the confidence to understand the process inside out, refine my narrative, and execute with a clear vision. The best investment I've made in my growth.

It felt like we were trying to attract funds blindfolded. We had no real concept of a system or proper method, until we were introduced to Gian. He guided us through his formula so investors have a sense of competition, and revamped our narrative.

When I tendered my card, I had a nagging suspicion whether it was going to be an expensive mistake. I was completely unprepared coming from a technical background. I'm very pleasantly surprised by the insane amount of value I got. The fees seem very cheap.

Gian has a fantastic ability to spot unusually talented entrepreneurs and has the rare position of having been on both sides of the pitch. I worked with Gian looking at thousands of opportunities, and many of the key principles in this program reflect how the venture capital world operates, and the questions an investor is thinking but wouldn't say.
Will GibbsPartner, Octopus Ventures
We engaged with Gian as part of Aera's founder development program. His raise coaching was very well received by our founders, helping them with unique insights, clear story arcs and industry best-practice processes. We highly recommend Gian and look forward to working together again.

I only work with a small number of founders at a time.

I speak to every founder personally before we work together, because I take on a limited number each month to make sure every one of them gets what they need.

If you've raised before and you know the next round needs to be different, book a call below. We'll work out if it's a fit, and exactly where your raise is going to break down before you find out the hard way.
