Fundraising Playbooks

I run Fundraising Playbooks as part of which I do 1-1 Investor Sprints with Founders and Masterclasses on Investor Outreach that actually gets replies. Between cold emailing my way to Richard Branson, Mark Cuban, getting replies from Sequoia Capital partners in <24h, VC replies in under 20min, a 7-figure HNWI reply in under 5min, and an avalanche of other results achieved by founders who use my methodology, the feedback I've been receiving can't stop raving about how my sessions are "singlehandedly the best session I ever attended", "world-class", "best one I've ever been on", "extremely practical", "had me on the edge of my seat and left with 4 pages of notes" - their words, not mine.

Fundraising Playbooks (www.fundraisingplaybooks.com) are a set of ready-to-use resources and copy & paste templates for investor outreach and investor relationship building.

Eva enjoys meeting new people (when in her extroverted months), discovering a new song that ends up on repeat the whole day, and researching all things related to startups & investment trends to uncover new strategic playbooks. 

She works with Startup Founders 1-1 in form of Investor Sprints and the most exciting part of them is when “you get to uncover new fundraising playbook specifically for that founder”. 

Part time video gamer (lassoing horses in Red Dead Redemption 2 🐎), learning how to row (across Thames), reading (Red Notice) and trying to continue her daily meditation streak.
