How To Raise VC Like A Pro: A Zero To One Hands-On Workshop

​​​After going through YC with Humoniq during the summer of 2025 and raising $8.5m, I’ll share:

• ​​​What VCs don’t want you to know about raising money

• ​​​Over 50 guides, checklists and templates for your slides

• ​​​How to reach out cold

• ​​​How to find VCs

• ​​​How to improve your slide deck, pitch, and outreach

​​Bring your computers, pitch decks, and emails. This is a hands-on workshop. At most, I will be speaking for the first 20 minutes, then we will get into specifics.

​I’m a 3x founder, operator, and executive coach working at the intersection of leadership psychology, AI systems, and company building. I’ve launched four agentic AI products generating over $1M in revenue and most recently served as Fractional COO and first employee at Humoniq (YC S25), helping raise an $8.5M seed. I’ve coached 500+ founders and executives, mentored through programs like Intel Ignite Startup Montreal and Nucleate, and I’m currently writing The Primal Trap, a book about how primitive human psychology quietly shapes leadership and organizational success. Earlier, I built and led Customer Success at Nylas through its $140M Series C and later rebuilt and relaunched the CPG brand Hot Date Kitchen after a shutdown.
