SF Founder Playbook: Your First Investor Meeting

​Don’t come to San Francisco to raise funding if you don’t know this.
Most founders fly in to meet investors — and leave with zero meetings, zero follow-ups, zero results.
San Francisco doesn’t reward effort.
It rewards preparation, positioning, and signal.

​Join Vasyl Dub (Raisable) for a no-fluff session on how to turn your SF trip into a real fundraising and dealflow sprint — before you even land.

🎙 About Vasyl & Raisable

Vasyl Dub — founder of Raisable, a Silicon Valley platform helping global founders break into the US market.
• Mentor at Stanford & Alchemist Accelerator
• Venture Partner at Network VC (100+ AI startups backed)
• Built Animal ID → $2M+ raised, 1M+ users, 0-$1M ARR
• Core team behind XEN → $200M+ volume, $75M+ market cap

​Raisable works with founders on:
• US go-to-market
• Investor access
• Fundraising preparation

​👉 This session is not theory.
It’s based on real SF trips, real investor meetings, real outcomes.

⚠️ What most founders get wrong
• They start outreach 1 week before flying
• They go to events instead of building a pipeline
• They rely on their deck instead of their positioning
• They “network” instead of driving conversations
• They burn $5k–$10k with no ROI

​✅ What you’ll learn instead
• How to design your SF trip as a 5–7 day fundraising sprint
• How to get investor replies before you land
• What to fix in your LinkedIn so investors actually answer
• Who to reach out to (and who to ignore)
• What to say in outreach (with real scripts)
• How to run 5–7 meetings/day without burning out
• Which events actually matter — and how to stand out there
• What documents you MUST have before boarding
• A realistic SF plan: schedule + budget + logistics

​📦 What you’ll get after
• Curated investor list (funds, partners, contacts by sector)
• Full SF trip checklist (prep → meetings → follow-ups)
• Proven outreach templates (cold + warm intros)
👉 Everything Raisable founders use.
