Most startup founders think fundraising is about having a good idea, a unique technology, or knowing the right investors. It’s not. Fundraising is a skill. And the truth is, most first-time founders are not clear, confident, or prepared enough for the capital raise they need to survive — let alone scale. I’ve raised over $4M for my own companies, pitched in Silicon Valley, and secured investment from Tim Draper on Meet the Drapers. But more importantly — I’ve been where you are. Facing a runway cliff. Trying to figure out what to say to investors. Getting ignored. And wondering if it’s all just smoke and mirrors. It’s not. There is a way — but only if you're willing to commit. Inside the Elite Fundraising Protocol, I direct startup founders from vague and overwhelmed to clear, confident, and closing capital. No fluff, no magic solutions. Just hard-earned, field-tested strategy, tools, and daily execution. I’ve been there, I've done it, and I understand you. Here’s how we do it: 🔥 Clarity — on your offer, your story, your strategy, and your startup’s true value. 💪 Conviction — to pitch with power and communicate your opportunity with certainty. 🎯 Expertise — daily guidance, 1:1 support, and relentless accountability. 🛠️ Assets — tools, networks, outreach help, and tactical playbooks that actually work. 🚀 Execution — because minimal effort and shortcuts won’t close your round. Most founders think raising capital will take a few weeks. The truth? It’ll take months. You’ll get 95% rejections. And you’ll have to get sharper, faster, and more focused than ever. That’s what we help you do. And we back it up. If it’s not for you, we offer a 14-day full refund. No questions asked. If you’re preparing to raise — or already raising — and want expert guidance to speed it up and do it right, let's talk! Every week you wait is momentum lost. 📩 DM me or visit elitefundraisingprotocol.com to apply 🙋‍♂️ PS. More about me: My motto has always been "A ship in harbor is safe, but that’s not what it’s built for". 🚢 And I'm passionate about founders with the same adventurous mindset. You'll also find me at the gym, in the sauna/cold plunge, playing disc golf or badminton, or laughing with friends. My story started in elite athletics, earning a full Division 1 swimming scholarship at the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay, where I set three school records and led as team captain. I moved from the US to Denmark in 2015 with no plan and no safety net — just conviction and vision. That same energy is baked into everything we do at EFP. Let’s get after it.
