We work with inspiring founders with high impact startups.

You must be Coachable. Decisive. Resourceful.

Our Story

Hi, I’m Iddo

Raising a seed round for my first startup was a life changing event for me.

We went from being two guys working from my small apartment in Tel Aviv to a team of 40 people with offices in Manhattan and Fortune 500 clients. It feels so great being funded, especially when you do it right by bringing great investors and keeping control over your company and vision. You can then hire a talented team and focus on the product and growth.

Mastering fundraising is freedom!

I believe that being able to systematically raise money whenever you want is one of the skills every successful founder CEO should have. I was fortunate to be mentored by top CEOs in Silicon Valley. I couldn’t delegate fundraising to others, I had to master it myself. I’ve raised money from over 100 investors for the 5 startups I’ve founded. I had the honor of being backed by great strategic investors including Ashton Kutcher, Li-Ka Shing, Streamlined Ventures, Madonna’s manager Jeff Xiong, the former CTO of Tencent, and Jack Xu, the former co-president and CTO of SINA Corporation and executives from Google, Facebook, PayPal, Yahoo, Spotify and SnapChat.

Google acquired my startup.

My last startup, invi Messenger, got acquired by Google two years ago. This was also a life changing event for me. It would not have happened without being backed by our awesome investors, the mentorship I received from top Silicon Valley CEOs and if I wasn’t able to keep control of my startup and have the freedom to run it the way I want.

Fundraising is a learned skill.

My rolling closing fundraising method has been a game changer for many founders. I’ve created a step-by-step strategy that has helped many founders raise their seed round. After implementing the strategy, we go through intense mindset and performance training. I love the moment when they start hearing ‘yes’ and closing 1 out of 4 investor meetings. Once they’re funded, they can fully focus on growing their startup and making their dreams come true.

Watch my training.

Raising money for your startup, like everything else, once you know it, it isn't so hard. If you are working on a great product, committed, and are about to raise your seed or bridge round, I warmly recommend that you watch my training. After you watch the training, there’s an option to schedule time to talk with our team.
