Your roadmap to raising capital
Final day: Session Demo Day Thursday 12 March
From idea to investor-ready pitch, guided by founders who’ve done it before.
Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday
Feb 3 - Mar 12
10:00 AM - 12:00 PM
Online
Module 1: Raise or not to raise? Demystifying Venture Capital
- Write a clear and compelling first draft of your YC application. - What YC looks for: team, problem, solution, market, traction. - Live writing of 3 key application answers. - Common mistakes and how to avoid them. - Application and interview workshop: the toughest questions a YC partner will ask you.
Module 2: Business model & VC lens
- When a startup is not VC-backable - When it’s better to raise from angels vs. other options (bootstrapping, revenue-based financing) - Real expectations: time, rejection, iteration - Funding stages (Pre-Seed to Series A), realistic metrics (no hype) - Understanding the full pipeline: first message, deck → meetings → due diligence → wire → money in the bank - Anatomy of the process and players (angels vs VCs, pros & cons) - Ideal fundraising timeline, and timeline for YC accelerators
Module 3: Legal, data room & due diligence
- Understanding Fund Economics and why VCs need 100x outcomes—adjust your narrative accordingly. - Types of venture funds and how they work: LPs, time horizons, “1–2 winners” model. - Valuation: driven by supply and demand; pre-money vs post-money. - 12 questions you MUST ask a VC. - Investor list-building and how to create your own Investor-Market Fit: thesis + research (stage, ticket size, sector, geography, focus). Scoring and prioritizing 30–50 investors. - Simulate 3 valuation scenarios and how much equity to sell at each stage (10–20% per round), dilution vs runway.
Module 4: Workshop: Sales + Contenido pre-grabado: pricing, PMF.
- What investors actually want to hear: Pitch, Deck, Networking. - Build a 5-10 slide deck focused on: Team / Problem / Solution / Market / Traction. - Multiple deck versions + “Deck killers”: what NOT to include. - Write and practice your elevator pitch (30–60 seconds) with proof points and clear CTA. - Effective networking: where to meet investors and how to build real relationships even if you’re not in Silicon Valley. - Deliverables: Pitch deck v1 (5–10 slides) + elevator pitch script.
Module 5: Tips by Andres Bilbao
- Best practices and AI tools for fundraising: e.g. DocSend. - How to use AI Agents while still building human connection in cold outreach → warm intros. - Build your Investor CRM Funnel with 30 segmented leads (angels / VCs / operators). - AI prompts to write the 3 key investor emails that actually get opened. - Metrics and follow-up cadence. - Tool: Practice with an AI “Angel Investor” (building our own GPT to simulate investor conversations).
Module 6: Growth
- Avoid bad dilution with SAFEs, cap tables, and option pools—how to structure healthy equity. - SAFE post-money vs priced round (clear cap table implications). - Close legal/tax gaps: Delaware C-Corp + QSBS benefits for founders and investors. - Real case red flags: asking for 100k incorrectly, underestimating dilution, outsourced tech teams, nonsensical valuations, etc. - Simulation of tough Q&A (typical early-stage VC questions).
Module 7: Workshop: Fundraising mechanics (ask, dilution, SAFEs)
- What happens after the “yes”, the due diligence process: what investors ask for and when. - Preparing a lightweight data room, legal checklist, key documents (Bylaws, Cap Table, Option Plan, 409A if applicable). - Reverse due diligence: researching the investor (do this before accepting their money). - How to create urgency and FOMO credibly without burning relationships (timelines, soft commits, insider terms). - Investor updates and newsletters — including to those who said no.
Module 8: Accelerators & other financing options
- Case studies of founders who successfully raised capital. - Live pitching + tough Q&A. Mentorship sessions.

FAQ
Still got questions? Feel free to reach out. We're happy to help.
How much dedication is required?
With 4 to 6 hours per week, you’ll be able to progress at the ideal pace. The program is designed so you can complete it alongside your job, without interrupting your regular activities.
Is it online or in person?
100% online, with live sessions on Zoom.
What if I can’t attend a session?
We know your schedule is busy, which is why we designed the program to fit the lifestyle of active professionals. If you can’t join a live session, you’ll have access to the recording. That said, we highly recommend attending live whenever possible — that’s where we build together, answer questions in real time, and help you get the most out of the experience.
What exactly will I learn?
You’ll learn the entire fundraising process — from identifying your ideal investor to what to do after closing a round. You’ll master how to use AI tools to raise capital and connect with investors, and you’ll learn how to refine your pitch deck to the level top-tier funds expect.
Can I enroll multiple members of my team, and can they attend together?
Yes. The program is open to all founders within the company. However, the person who starts the course must be the one to complete it, since we provide personalized guidance to each participant. Our team offers support and mentorship throughout the entire program. We carefully select participants to ensure the course truly provides value. This program has grown through the recommendations of those who’ve experienced it, so we prioritize profiles that can make the most of the experience.
I already completed my application. When will I know if I’ve been accepted?
Response time varies depending on when you applied. We confirm selected participants within 4–10 business days.
Will the program open again later?
Yes. We have another batch coming in English. The one in February is in Spanish.
Do you issue a certificate/diploma upon completion?
Yes. Once you finish and complete all the content, you’ll receive your certificate.
