Just created a complete analysis of AI infrastructure opportunities covering chip manufacturers, power companies and system integrators.

I shared this analysis with my 20,000+ students.

For 24 hours, it's yours for FREE.

[Henry Shi @henrythe9ths]

I got rejected by 144 investors before raising $150M for my $200M+ rev/year startup.

After 144 rejections, I started questioning our approach.

Were we solving the right problem?

What were we doing wrong?

Why weren’t investors seeing what we were seeing?

Were we the right team to build this?

We tried everything: different pitch angles, new deck structures, and reframing the problem.

Then came the 145th meeting, where we closed our first growth round.

That yes made everything worth it. But getting there took years of mistakes and hard work.

We went through a lot of trial and error just to figure out what resonates with investors.

We tried dozens of approaches to figure out what made investors engage.

Some landed, most didn't. But each iteration taught us something about what builds conviction versus what just sounds good on paper.

And once we cracked that code, our Series C closed faster than expected.

And today, I see so many founders in the exact same position I was in 10 years ago: grinding through rejections, questioning everything, and trying to figure out what works.

So today I want to give you the resource I wish I had back then:

Something that shows you exactly how to structure these conversations and navigate the entire process

(because the fundraising cycle can be a big distraction and take a toll on you as a founder).

So I've partnered with Notion's Startups Team to create the essential fundraising resource that helps you avoid the mistakes that cost me years.

Here's what you are getting:

• The actual decks I used to raise $150M for Super[.]com (Series B, C)

• 50 real examples from funded startups like Eleven Labs and Artisan AI

• A searchable database of 10,000+ investors - angels, VCs, and accelerators you can reach out to immediately (this alone would take months to build manually)

• An AI-powered fundraising agent built into Notion with step-by-step prompts (no separate ChatGPT needed)

Want access?

• Like and share this post

• Comment "FUNDRAISE"

• Follow me so I can DM you the link

I'll send it over ASAP.

P.S.: If you are serious about fundraising (now or in the future), you should grab it right away.

[Samruddhi Mokal @samruddhi_mokal]

Just built a WhatsApp AI agent that handles text, voice and images like a human assistant.

Sold the setup for $3,000 + $500/mo retainer.

Here's what it does:
– Processes text messages, voice notes and images automatically
– Transcribes voice messages and responds with audio back
– Analyzes images and answers questions about them
– Searches knowledge base with vector storage
– Uses MCP client for unlimited tool connections
– Remembers full conversation context with message memory

Perfect for businesses that need smart, multimodal customer support that actually understands context.

Built it in N8N + WhatsApp Business API: handles any input type, responds intelligently.

I'll DM you the entire workflow
