Here's A snapshot of our process:
Together we’ll create (Or optimize), your 3 key capital raising systems:
- Your Find More Investors System (Gives you a steady stream of high net-worth investors to talk to)
- Your Instant Credibility System (Gets investors to trust you and say “yes” faster)
- Your Power Positioning System (Sets you apart and gets you more referrals)
Step 1: The Kick-Off
To kick things off, you’ll have your VIP Ramp-Up Session with our Customer Success Manager. You’ll leave that 1-on-1 session with major clarity and key next steps.
From there, we’ll create a Raise More Capital Roadmap you can follow. Having this customized plan alone will save you a ton of time and cut years off your learning curve!
Think of it as your customized plan on how to:
- Attract high-net-worth investors beyond your current network
- Establish trust so investors say “yes” faster
- Automate, systematize and optimize as much of your capital raising as possible
Step 2: Review
Next, our Executive Coach will meet with you to review your new plan and key automations our team will set up on your behalf.
Think of this as your “Capital Raising Feeder System.” That usually includes things like:
- Hyper-targeted lists of potential investors based on your investor avatar (Reaching the RIGHT people is critical)
- Your Investor Attraction Webinar (Builds trust and pre-sells investors on your behalf)
- Key automations for initial networking on social media (Take the grunt work of manual networking off your plate)
- Key automations for nurturing your investor leads (Makes staying top of mind way easier)
- Your Capital Community (Gets your foot in the door with potential investors while positioning you as an expert)
Step 3: The Kick-Off
Our team will set-up the tech side to all these so it’s off your plate and ready in 45 days or less.
As that’s happening, all you’ll have to do is start following your new plan as you plug into our proven processes and systems.
You’ll even get an A to Z library of frameworks and templates so you know what to say and aren’t coming off as sleazy.
Also included is a treasure trove of on-demand trainings covering just about any investor attraction strategy you can think of.
As you continue seeing early wins and building new relationships with investors…
It will also be a great time to connect with other capital raisers and investors inside our member-only community.
Our members often partner on deals or find ways to support each other through co-marketing opportunities.
People say it’s also valuable to bounce ideas off other others and mastermind on strategies that are working well for others.
As you continue following your new plan and seeing results, you’ll have access to our team for any support or guidance you’ll need.
That includes access to our Executive Coach for 1-on-1 coaching, and a chance to receive coaching directly from me during members-only Q and A calls each Tuesday.
There’s no point in wasting time or losing out future deals that come across your desk.
Instead of trying to reinvent the wheel or cold call strangers to invest with you…
You’ll now have a new way of attracting the investors you’re looking for and accessing the capital you need at the push of a button.
Like Chris, who had limited success raising capital before coming into our program. He started with only a handful of investors and now has 200+ deal-ready investors and growing as he raises more capital for his fund.
Or John, who knew he’d need to raise a lot more capital so he could take down bigger deals. John implemented our system and raised an additional $850K in his first 6 weeks of working with us.
Or Amy, who grew her database by 300+ in her first few months of following our system. She’s gone on to raise $8,000,000 and counting while building a huge online presence.
Or Dave, who was ready to scale his capital raising but had trouble finding investors beyond his current network. He grew his investors database by over 150% in his first 9 months and has gone on to raise over $30,000,000 in the past couple of years.
Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to a few more questions you might have:
Most people initially enroll for 12 months. That way they have plenty of time to go deeper and get great results. It also gives them time to build real relationships within our community and receive guidance. In case you have questions about this time-line making sense for your current situation, it’s something we can chat more about.
They’re life-long learners, have lofty goals and are willing to invest so they can save time and have more peace of mind. They’re action takers who have an investor mindset and value having a customized roadmap they can follow. They also honor their commitments to investors and prefer to be relationship-oriented instead of being transactional.
Nope. As long as you know how to get online and do basic things like check an email inbox, you can breathe a sigh of relief. With some specific strategies, sometimes there can be a small learning curve on the tech side. For that we offer a library of easy-to-follow tech tutorials in case you need them to get the hang of things.
Nope. This program can work well for beginners too!
Our students have collectively raised over $100,000,000, and I’ve been working with capital raisers since 2020. In case you’re not THAT familiar with my background or philosophy yet, I highly recommend listening to a couple of the 100+ episodes of The Raising Capital Show. You can also skim to the bottom of this page for a few testimonials.
At a minimum, our clients see a large boost to their online presence and sphere of influence. They have a lot more potential investors to talk to, and it’s not uncommon for clients to say our program saved them years of trial and error. All of these are leading indicators to clients inevitably accessing more capital.
It’s pretty common for clients to be raising at least an additional $1,000,000+ in their first 12 months if not significantly more. It’s also pretty common for clients to be booking at least 2-5 additional intro meetings with investors a week within a few months of joining our program.
Although those results are pretty common, we of course can’t fully guarantee how much someone will raise or anything other than providing what’s promised in the program.
Software costs are part of the cost of doing business. We’d recommend allocating $200-$300 a month for software subscriptions including your CRM and other tools that save you time.
Content
Automations that make your life easier. There are ways to automate a lot of grunt work and take things off your plate. That usually includes automations for building credibility, nurturing investor leads and growing your network.
Most of our members spend just 2-3 hours a week. Some spend even less if they have a virtual assistant or once they have their process dialed in. This program is designed to take a lot off your plate and ensure you’re only spending time on high value activities.
We provide an A-to-Z library of fill-in-the-blank templates so you can plug and play. These even include a year’s worth of email newsletters. All you have to do is fill in the blanks and make them your own.
Reputation is everything, especially when it comes to capital raising. Our templates are based on investor psychology and what’s been proven to work. You can modify any template to make sure it’s in your voice and coming across like you want it to.
Think of this program as a tool to raise for your ongoing fund or upcoming deals. If your deadline is in a couple of weeks, your energy is probably best spent securing current commitments or securing gap funding. If you have a deal you’re about to START raising for in a couple of weeks, the tools and strategies in this program can certainly help you have a bigger raise and give you more investors to talk to.
This is a webinar that builds trust and boosts your credibility so investors are more pre-sold to say “yes.” It’s not deal-specific nor is it a webinar to directly solicit funds. Think of it as more of an intro presentation that warms up investors. We give you the framework for what to say, set-up the tech side and build out fill-in-the-blank slides so it can run on auto-pilot. All you have to do is record this short presentation one time from the comfort of your home or office. Most of our clients also repurpose this exact same presentation any time they’re asked to speak live.
Probably not like you’re thinking. Without the right strategy, most content creation turns out to be a waste of time. Our unique approach to content creation will save you time. We provide a formula for creating a month’s worth of original content in 60 minutes or less.
Nope. We have clients who raise from accredited as well non-accredited investors.
Yes. We even provide check-lists and specific tutorials to make this easier for you and them.
That’s something we can review on call. Chances are there are some ways to optimize or even add on to those so you can save time as you scale.
Instead of paying tens of thousands of dollars to a list broker, we use AI to create hyper-targeted lists. For example, let’s say you wanted to reach dentists who live in the state of Florida. There’s a way to pull that list in a matter of minutes.
That will depend on your customized strategy. Most of our members primarily focus on Facebook and LinkedIn.
Our sweet spot is in attracting retail investors. However, you can repurpose many of the strategies, templates and techniques in our program for reaching out to Family Offices.
Yes. This program is asset class agnostic as long as you want to raise more capital from retail investors
