@henrythe9ths FUNDRAISE

I got rejected by 144 investors before raising $150M for my $200M+ rev/year startup. After 144 rejections, I started questioning our approach. Were we solving the right problem? What were we doing wrong? Why weren’t investors seeing what we were seeing? Were we the right team to build this? We tried everything: different pitch angles, new deck structures, and reframing the problem. Then came the 145th meeting, where we closed our first growth round. That yes made everything worth it. But getting there took years of mistakes and hard work. We went through a lot of trial and error just to figure out what resonates with investors. We tried dozens of approaches to figure out what made investors engage. Some landed, most didn't. But each iteration taught us something about what builds conviction versus what just sounds good on paper. And once we cracked that code, our Series C closed faster than expected. And today, I see so many founders in the exact same position I was in 10 years ago: grinding through rejections, questioning everything, and trying to figure out what works. So today I want to give you the resource I wish I had back then: Something that shows you exactly how to structure these conversations and navigate the entire process (because the fundraising cycle can be a big distraction and take a toll on you as a founder). So I've partnered with Notion's Startups Team to create the essential fundraising resource that helps you avoid the mistakes that cost me years. Here's what you are getting: • The actual decks I used to raise $150M for Super[.]com (Series B, C) • 50 real examples from funded startups like Eleven Labs and Artisan AI • A searchable database of 10,000+ investors - angels, VCs, and accelerators you can reach out to immediately (this alone would take months to build manually) • An AI-powered fundraising agent built into Notion with step-by-step prompts (no separate ChatGPT needed) Want access? • Like and share this post • Comment "FUNDRAISE" • Follow me so I can DM you the link I'll send it over ASAP. P.S.: If you are serious about fundraising (now or in the future), you should grab it right away.

Join us on 31st. With @Venom_network_ @decubate

Was browsing the @token2049 site and happened to find few critical vulnerabilities. Big props to their team! I sent over the report, and they had it patched in almost no time. Love to see that commitment to security. That’s how we all win. #web3 #cybersecurity

Qverify - a community-driven, non-profit initiative, is live on Telegram. Our mission: make the Quantum Space secure & transparent by publishing open cryptographic audits. t.me/QVerifyFoundat… Researchers ,Volunteers & cryptographers — join the team and help us validate projects by real cryptography, not marketing. #QuantumSecurity #Qverify

We are Thrilled to announce our partnership with @WallettonInc for This event 🙌

It's happening 👀 Join us during #TOKEN2049 For an unforgettable night. See you all in Singapore 🚀

🔥 Singapore, are you ready? We’re thrilled to announce our Media Partnership with @Atlassoit(x) for Security Night @ Token2049. 🚀 📅 29th Sept | luma.com/vrdfip9c ⚡️ Only 1 co-host slot is left. DM @atlassoit on X to claim it. This is where Web3 security meets the future. Don’t just hear about it, be there!!

We’re excited to announce that our next major project audit is coming soon 👀 Fully audited & certified by Qverify ✅ Setting the standard for real post-quantum security in blockchain. Stay tuned. #Qverify #Audit #PostQuantum #Blockchain

The Qverify team has published the results of the Cellframe cryptography audit! You can view the report here: github.com/qvfoundation/c… Qverify specialists conducted a comprehensive review of the post-quantum algorithm implementation in the Cellframe blockchain code and confirmed that our integration meets NIST standards! ⚡️

Few words from our Founder @Kishancyb

We are excited to announce Qverify has completed a thorough source code level audit of @cellframenet Network’s cryptographic core, evaluating the post quantum algorithm implementation at its foundation. The project integrates leading edge cryptographic schemes such as Kyber, CRYSTALS Dilithium, Falcon, SPHINCS+, and Picnic, all with parameters strictly aligned to NIST and internationally recognized academic standards. Our review confirmed best practices in security and robustness, with integration ranging from digital signatures and key encapsulation to network authentication, quantum secure VPN, and peer to peer communication. With this approval, Cellframe Network joins an extremely select group of initiatives already delivering post quantum grade security. This certification remains rare in the market and reflects a true commitment to innovation, transparency, and readiness for the quantum computing era.

🚀 We're LIVE! @quantumevm is officially the first project to be audited by @Qvfoundation for post-quantum security. The future of blockchain security starts right now 🛡️⚛️ 🧵👇 (1/5)

Great to be post quantum native on the exchanges! it is a lot of extra work by Coinstore to support our cryptography and network, so we are super happy that they are moving to a PQC future with us!

More to come ...
