STARTUP FUNDRAISING 101
MY MOTIVATION
When I was first raising money for one of my startups I had no clue what I was doing. I had just graduated from university and had never been in contact with an investor before nor did I know how to persuade them or negotiate a term sheet.
As a result, I built a poor pitch deck and ended up without any funding. But a lot has changed since then. I raised millions of dollars myself, invested in companies all around the globe and with BaseTemplates, I have helped hundreds of founders with their fundraising.
This course is my way of sharing everything I know about fundraising & pitch decks so that you don't make the same mistakes I did.
2h VIDEO & ADDITIONAL MATERIAL
In the course I will guide you through every step that is necessary to raise money for your startup.
Firstly, you will learn how investors tick and what a regular fundraising process looks like. After that you will prepare for your fundraising material and find out how to research investors. Then you will learn how to build a compelling pitch deck (a step by step guide for every single slide). Finally you will get my unique insights on how to run a successful fundraising process.

TESTIMONIALS
Max is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to the VC landscape and fundraising. He's helped with some awesome advice around pitch deck creation, as well as information about Europe VC. In addition, his content is exceptional. I'm excited to be part of this course.
When it comes to startup fundraising Max is the go-to guy. He has a deep understanding of both the investor and the operator sides and helped us design a great pitch deck. And with that we found the right investor for our business.
This course is one reason why we massively oversubscribed our seed round. Max's unique insights helped us a lot to understand, what it takes to build a great pitch deck and convince investors of our idea.
There is so much to learn about raising money from investors. Max is really sharing the best practices in this course and I can totally recommend it to every early-stage founder
The videos around the structure and the design of the pitch deck are excellent. They were full of valuable advice, and we could quickly implement them into our deck. Total recommendation
I raised venture funding in Silicon Valley before and never felt completely confident with building a deck. The course helped me go through it, step by step. The course felt more like a coach, or consultant I could go to all the time when I wanted to optimize a slide.
Max has personally helped me learn plenty. This is going to be a resource saver for those new to the game, especially if you are a non-tech founder. The price is barely anything compared to the time and real money new founders lose to learn what the course would cover, coming via the experience.

FAQ
No. I was in your exact shoes some years ago and I have created the course in a way that I would have enjoyed it back then.
I will start with the basics and then go into detail so that all of the viewers will get the most out of it.
Yeah. No worries. Just give them your login data and you are good to go.
You have unlimited access to all materials and videos. The videos are around 2h in watch time. You can decide how quickly you want to watch them.
No. It is also for everyone who wants to understand the whole venture world a little better or who just wants to create a good looking pitch deck for their company.
For example if you want to win over partners, present your company on stage or just to put your own thinking into a proven framework.
Not specifically. But of course the course makes most sense in the earliest stages of your company (Pre-Seed, Seed, Series-A). After that you should be familiar with the fundraising process and building of your deck.
No. As this is a digital product you have access to all videos and materials right away. That's why we can't provide a refund.
You can always write us an email to [email protected] and we will come back to you as quickly as possible.
In the introduction we will take a look at how this course is structured and how investors think and work. Besides that we will talk about some of the most common fundraising problems.
