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.

“No code” but a massive inscrutable flow chart on a canvas you can’t debug this is what I see when people show me n8n 😂

@cmack4life 1/3 Women are given a lot of positive attention by the media on the way up. Media cops criticism for only writing stories about male founders / leaders, so when a credible female leader emerges they write about it a lot! And then resentment builds against that woman (cont.)

It’s so strange that media would call out a single parter at a fund for an investment, it makes me wonder if it’s just about tearing the person down, and if so wtf why?

@VullinghsJ Do people 1 - don’t understand venture 2 - understood but forgot or 3 - conveniently chose to forget how venture works to score points online? I think it’s a true colours shining through in the tough times and might require an adjustment in who we all respect ;) Stay epic…

It’s been a weird few days. I’ve only ever wanted to be respected by the people I respect The number of founders and investors who have sent kind & supportive messages in the last few days is extraordinary. To every one of you, thank you. You are the people whose opinions matter

Building a sales team from scratch is like trying to assemble IKEA furniture with no instructions. Just when you think you've got it figured out, you find a few left over parts and the whole thing has to be rebuilt. So we built this: functionly.com/orginometry/te… #Sales #Templates

Functionly @functionly is org chart software. Most startups neglect upfront org chart strategy. If you want to ship product, you need a clear idea of how to set up your organization. Think of this as the communication architecture for your company.

So… I changed my philosophy. My criteria would no longer be “who do I think is most likely to be successful” (since I didn’t think I could tell). But rather, “who do I want to help take their shot”.
