What takes place in the weekly sessions? VIP Option

During the one-hour weekly meetups, clients have conversation and instruction with Dr. Farrell. Each week highlights a key Q&A topic, how to avoid those negatively correlated with investment and Role-Play Console suggestions. Together, you identify key concepts, learn about venture capital, tighten your narrative and develop realistic “pushback.” Practice in the safe room before you meet the real one.

Clients enrolled in our VIP track also receive private time with Dr. Farrell for deeper work on their value propositions, milestones, and fundraising objectives.

Understand why VC is the quintessential finance for startups with no money

In addition to daily practice, regular weekly meetings highlight the key cornerstones of VC investment.

A 16-year old can get VC

You don`t need houses, cars, pensions, assets or someone to sign for you. And you don`t have to pay it back.

Accomplish meaningful milestones

Highlight your company`s value proposition with meaningful accomplishments and descriptions of your current and potential customers.

Improve valuation

Clearly understand how the shares are created and the capital tables are developed. With new rounds of finance, watch your personal wealth improve.

VC is not like a pie

The slices don`t get divvied up as each round progresses. Walk away from every session with a clearer picture and strategy for your next competition or investor meeting. Keep your equity, improve your valuation.
