Double-Clicking On Fundraise Discipline

Published 14 days ago • 1 min read

Dear Pioneers,

​

Last year I worked with 100 AR/VR founders helping them grow and fundraise, this year my goal is to work with 1,000 founders ranging across AI, Crypto, Frontier SaaS, and of course VR, too.

​
The game of Venture Capital is just that, a game. The rules are quite simple, network with the right people, and build innovative products that generate sustained revenue. If you can do those two things, and prove it with data, then you can advance up the levels and raise $100M. Anyone can do it.
​

Come learn the fundraise process I’m helping implement in 1,000 startups in 2025 during our investor conversation on Weds: https://www.skool.com/fundraise-collective-4446/about​
​

I’ve seen now a handful of CEOs go from a handful of founders working in a garage, to eventually raising $100M+ and scaling to a team of 150. Every single time you can barely see it coming, I’m convinced anyone can create a unicorn. 🦄

Hosting a fundraise strategy workshop for about 50 founders focused on AI, 3D, and Frontier Tech (aka, crazy ideas). You should 100% attend on Wednesday at 12 PM ET if you're building something crazy and need funding. 🚀 Attend I'm looking for those founders with $100K+ raised, growing recurring revenues, with an ugly duct-taped together product and team. Those are the best startup stories. -Don Stein p.s. You'll also get THREE free gifts from me for attending :)
