The Blueprint to Your First $50,000 raise
You’ve built the product. You’ve felt the sleepless nights. You know your idea can change the world—but your bank account doesn’t reflect your ambition yet.
Let’s be honest: The gap between a "great idea" and a $50,000 cheque isn't just hard work. It’s a code. Most founders spend months or even years sending cold emails into the void, getting "soft NOs" from investors, and watching their runway vanish while they try to figure out what they’re doing wrong.
You don’t have time to "figure it out" by failing. You need the shortcut this year
On January 30, 2026, we are bringing together founders who have cracked the code, faced rejection, and successfully moved the needle. This isn’t a theoretical lecture. It is a war room session on how to get real capital into your business now.
Meet Your Mentors
We’ve bypassed the "influencers" and gone straight to the operators who have actually done it:
Femi Adegolu (Co-founder, Tradepal AI): The strategist who successfully secured $50,000 for Tradepal AI. He knows exactly how to position an early-stage startup to make it "investor-ready."
Amarachi Amaechi (Co-founder, Bitpowr): A powerhouse who has raised $1,000,000 for her startup. She will share the grit and the high-level tactics required to scale your fundraising ask.
Joshua Barimon Firima (Founder, Kros AI): A Marl Accelerator founder building global businesses. Joshua brings the world-class perspective of what it takes to win in the most competitive rooms on the planet.
What You Will Master:
The "First Cheque" Psychology: What investors need to hear in the first 2 minutes to keep them listening.
The Outreach Machine: How to stop begging for intros and start building a pipeline of interested backers.
Pitching vs. Closing: Why most founders "pitch" well but fail to actually get the money in the bank.
The Global Standard: Learn the frameworks used by YC founders to build businesses that attract USD investment regardless of geography.
Stop Pitching. Start Closing.
Fundraising is a skill, and like any skill, it can be learned. Do you want to spend another six months wondering why investors aren't replying? Or do you want to spend two hours learning the exact steps to secure your first $50,000 USD?
Your vision deserves to be funded. Don't let a lack of capital be the reason your story ends here.
