PROGRAMME SUMMARY
LAUNCH PAD
The beginning of your journey. We lay the groundwork for the week and introduce you to other founders. A mixed day of learning about the VC landscape and some low pressure activities. .
OPEN HEART SURGERY
Dive deep into the components of your company and what makes it special. We’ll break you down and build you back up. Mix learnings and activities, with a deep focus on the specific particularities of your business.
ATTACK & DEFENSE
We start with an interrogation of your business model and finances to give you greater defense moves. We then formulate an attack plan for engaging with VCs (where they hide, the language they speak, what they look for). An intense day of learning and rolling up your sleeves.

WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT US
Mia Grosen Jensen
Founder
Canute Programme,
Embassy of Denmark
Our programme assists Denmark’s most promising scale-ups to expand internationally.
Francois has assisted several of our cohorts with getting them investor ready.
I can attest to the quality of the work and the amazing results, and can recommend any company to go through his programme.
Brad Mathews
Founder & CEO
Alliapp
We struggled raising funds for a long time –a year of failed attempts, doors slammed and disappointments.
Francois devised the right message and approach, built the document and assisted me throughout the process.
We have now closed two rounds of funding successfully, each with increased valuations.
Fred Destin
General Partner
Stride VC
Fundraising is tedious, frustrating and highly unpredictable, but for most CEOs, a must-do.
Getting prepared, building the right storyline, approach and process is critical for a successful process.
I have known Francois for 20 years; I can vouch for him, his pitching skills, story-line building and fundraising process, and can recommend him to CEOs preparing for a funding round.
Raph Crouan
CEO
Startupbootcamp IOT
We are the world’s largest accelerator, and assist companies from all over the world to grow.
We have been using specialist mentors for years, with great success.
Francois’ direct style and approach, BS-free advice and skills in crafting storylines that investors connect with, is refreshing.
I strongly recommend using him.
