Raising capital
We’ve helped Nashville startups raise over $10 million to date and we’re just getting started!
Our approach to fundraising is simple and built for founders who are already building.
Here’s how it works:
1. Build first.
We don’t raise money from ideas or pitch decks- we help founders who have traction and need capital to unlock their next stage of growth.
2. Hone your story.
We’ll help you sharpen your pitch, messaging, and materials so investors understand exactly what you’re building and why it matters.
3. Test your pitch.
Before going wide, we’ll connect you with friendly investors from our network for “softball” pitches. You’ll get real feedback and learn how to make your story land.
4. Run your raise.
When you’re ready, we’ll help you run a full raise process- all at once- so you can meet as many investors as possible, efficiently and confidently.
5. Navigate term sheets.
When investment offers start coming in, we’ll help you understand what you’re signing up for- from valuation and dilution to investor rights and control terms. We’ll help you compare offers, negotiate confidently, and make sure you know exactly what you’re giving and getting.
Throughout the entire process, you’re not doing it alone.
Our founder community is here to share advice, make intros, and cheer you on every step of the way.
We believe the best way to learn how to raise money is from the founder who just did it and that’s what our community is built around.
