Raising Capital Shouldn't Feel Like Shouting Into the Void
Most startup founders spend months chasing investors with zero traction. We teach you how to build genuine relationships with the right people before you even need the money. It's honestly less about pitching and more about positioning.
Three Phases That Actually Matter
Forget the corporate fundraising playbook. Here's what we've seen work for Australian startups over the past eight years.
Getting Your Story Straight
Before you talk to anyone with money, you need to articulate why your startup exists beyond "we want to make money." Investors can smell uncertainty from kilometres away. We help you craft a narrative that resonates with your specific market.
Building Real Connections
Cold emails to investors have a 2% response rate. Warm introductions? Closer to 60%. We'll show you how to systematically build relationships with angel investors, VCs, and strategic partners who actually care about what you're building.
Closing Without Desperation
The founders who succeed aren't the ones who need money most urgently. They're the ones who've created optionality. Learn how to structure conversations, negotiate terms, and walk away when something doesn't fit your vision.
Why Traditional Fundraising Advice Fails Most Founders
You've probably read articles telling you to "just build a great product" or "network more." That's not wrong, but it's incomplete. The gap between having a solid business and actually securing investment is filled with nuance that nobody talks about.
We started prenovixerta in 2017 after watching too many talented founders flame out because they treated fundraising like a transaction instead of a relationship-building process. The Australian startup ecosystem is smaller than Silicon Valley, which means your reputation matters even more.
Our next cohort starts in September 2025. We're working with 12 startups who are serious about building sustainable fundraising pipelines, not just chasing quick checks.
I spent six months getting nowhere with cold outreach. prenovixerta helped me reframe my entire approach. Within three months of finishing their programme, I had term sheets from two funds. What changed? I stopped selling and started building genuine relationships with people who understood logistics tech.
Ready to Stop Guessing and Start Connecting?
We're opening applications for our October 2025 intensive. Spaces are limited because we actually work closely with each founder. This isn't a lecture series. It's hands-on strategy work with people who've been in the trenches.
