"This course does an excellent job demystifying how VCs analyze potential investments. This context is very helpful for founders as they go out to raise their funding rounds."


- Ryan Micheletti, Head Of Global Operations at Founders Institute & General Partner of The Veteran Fund


"After 40+ investor objections, Rohin helped us close our pre-seed financing by using the process in this course to provide exclusive, previously unknown capital markets insights. We used the insights generated to position our pitch, data room materials, and financial model to be maximally venture backable and close the round"


- David Gonzalez, CEO of Arbol, raised $850k pre-seed using our process

"As the CEO of a green energy startup that has gone through multiple accelerators and mentorship programs, I can confidently say those programs do not provide this valuable information around fundraising. By breaking down the investment decision piece by piece, founders can focus on optimizing each component that culminates in the whole. All founders, regardless if they are raising a round or planning to in the future, need this as part of their toolkit to make fundraising a much easier experience"

-Sam Ibrahim, CEO of Positive Energy

About Acopia Ventures

Rohin Sethi and Stephen Malkowicz are the founders and managing partners of Acopia Ventures.

Acopia Ventures, has created the largest proprietary, real-time, and granular data set on how early-stage investors make investment decisions across sectors.

This data set has been achieved through 40+ years of collective team knowledge in the venture capital space, experience working at over 15 venture funds conducting due diligence and recommending investments as both full-time employees and consultants, and analyzing the investment memos and decisions of top funds like Bessemer Venture Partners, Initialized, a16z, etc. to distill common investment criteria patterns and effectively reverse engineer the venture capital investment decision.

Unlike pitch deck consultants who might have raised a round but do not know exactly why the VC invested or former VCs with experience at only 1 or 2 venture funds, Acopia uses that data set to run startups through real venture capital due diligence (resembling the process of a potential lead investor) and author detailed investment memos and recommendations so they can mitigate their weaknesses and blindspots before speaking with VCs. They also use the exact analytical due diligence tools and models VCs use to help startups convince investors and close the deal. This helps startups either reduce investor rejections, which lead to inefficient and/or unsuccessful capital raises, or adjust their business strategy to drive towards increasing their venture fund-ability, as very few startups get to the bottom of an investment firm's funnel and close an investment. 

Since July 2023, this process has helped founders raise over $40m in pre-seed, seed, and Series A capital by maximizing their venture fund-ability so they rank in the top 1% of the highly selective VC firm funnel.

This process uses the same frameworks, tools, and learnings given to you in this course.
