@AdamWeitsman Have 15 mins for a call before I fly across the pond to NYC for a visit too? 🤣

I do believe it will be a meaningful connection!

[Shah @Web3Shah]

@CryptoGarga I would love to connect with you to learn a little more. We are very likely to have tools that could help your team, and I would love to learn more to see how we can help! I bet things are moving fast with AI!

@sergitosergito I love it Sergito! Rooting for you and team. I would love for us to connect, I'm sure there are some exciting opportunities for us to work together. I hold Meebits but not so active on discord, so these post on X are great.

@henrythe9ths FUNDRAISE - very curious to see this and happy to help collate feedback on it if it's valuable to you.

[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.

@0xRohitz Hey Rohit, would love to connect to learn a little about what you are building and give you a little insight into what we have been developing.

[Shah @Web3Shah]

@vohvohh Hey Voh, how do you all collate feedback? Do you have a tool or any processes in place?

[Shah @Web3Shah]

@OGlamozda In the meantime, let's connect. Very keen for us to learn a little more about what each is building.

[Shah @Web3Shah]

@SeanPinnock Sean, we we've been developing the perfect platform for this, a tool for research, feedback, bug reports, feature requests and co-creation. Ai powered too so anyone on your team could do a job of a lead user researcher. Would gladly show you a demo and give you access.

[Shah @Web3Shah]

@AndrewIsOmega Hey Andrew, I would love to connect with you to ask a few questions about Arbitrum and give you a little look into the games we are developing.

[Shah @Web3Shah]

@jonahlau_ I don't know how I'm only just following you! Honestly don't feel like putting much other than "YES!!!" in response to most of your posts!! Jonah knows!

[Shah @Web3Shah]

@thegreatola Hey, would love to learn more about @Elixir_HQ. Let me know how we should proceed.

[Shah @Web3Shah]

@thunderxdxd gm Thunder, would love to connect and learn about what you have going on in case there are partnership opportunities we could offer you and team.

[Shah @Web3Shah]

@Tma_420 100% aligned and what a coincidence! This is perfect ahead of our call TMA because we’ve developed just the thing to empower this process and benefit both teams and holders/users.

[Shah @Web3Shah]

@jonahlau_ Yes!!!
