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.

Many inj¥red as U.S.-bound flight with 245 passengers makes emergency return to Lagos
United Airlines flight UA613, en route from Lagos to Washington, declared an emergency and returned to Lagos shortly after takeoff.
Vanguard reports indicate that several passengers and crew members on the Boeing 787-8 sustained minor injuries during the incident.
The flight, carrying 245 passengers, eight cabin crew, and three pilots, had to turn back while flying over Ivory Coast airspace.
A passenger, speaking anonymously, revealed that the emergency occurred after seatbelt signs had been turned off. The aircraft safely landed back at Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA).
The passenger said: “We had already been served our meals when the plane lost pressure and dropped. We noticed a sharp descent. I hit my head on the ceiling because of the impact. I became unconscious, but one person from the medical team came to attend to me in the middle of the turmoil. The sharp descent happened three times, causing some people to sustain injuries. We spent four hours on air. In the midst of the turmoil, the pilot said we were going to land in Ghana, but we eventually landed in Nigeria.”
Clarifying the development, the airline in a chat with Vanguard, said: “Flight UA613 from Lagos to Washington D.C. returned to Lagos to address a technical issue. After landing safely, the aircraft was met by first responders to address reports of minor injuries to several passengers and crew.”

@getgodfree @InibeheEffiong Just like China, Indonesia, UAE etc are war torn.
English

@InibeheEffiong Those prayers are the reason you are talking freely and are able to go about doing your business unhindered , it would have been a war torn nation ...and Nigeria will also get it right in God's time , advocacy must continue but violence or war is a no deal

Pastor Adeboye and others have been praying for Nigeria since my childhood, Nigeria is not getting better.
Praying for 100 or 1000 days nonstop will not make this country better.
The problems are not spiritual.
If Pastor Adeboye can dedicate his time and platform to call out corrupt and selfish politicians, maybe things can improve.
A significant portion of those ruining our country today are followers of Adeboye. Some of them are “pastors” in RCCG.
God is not an author of confusion.
