What experts are saying
Zac Reid
Don was particularly helpful in advising me on issues related to traction and retention, and his insights were instrumental in improving my app. I would highly recommend Don to anyone looking for expert guidance and support in building their company.
David Sarno
Don and I didn't know each other at all at the beginning of the process, but he immediately became an active advocate and supporter, and worked hard and fast on his end to make things happen, communicating, advising and helping the entire way.
Emily Olman
Having known Don now for several years in the XR space, and having watched him fund, launch, and now mentor other XR founders, I want you all to know that Don is the real deal and he is truly passionate about his work in this space
Yehiel Atias
Don helped me understand Silicon Valley investors, supported me in the early days, and made intro's so that we eventually were able to raise $20M
How do I know if
this is for me?
This
is for you
if...
You’re a founder who cares about bringing on the right investors to level up your startup and build an iconic business.
You want proven templates, insights, and tools for scaling your fundraise and avoiding wasted time.
You know that the real magic is in the hustle. Fundraising is a numbers game and requires staying accountable to your story.
You run a venture backed startup. This program is designed for founders, by founders. I’m going to share with you the lessons I learned the hard way.
You want a repeatable system that can be used to close Seed, Series A, B, and more for years to come.
You want to scale your startup with funding and gather heavy hitters on your Cap Table as support
This
is not for you

You’re looking for a “quick fix” for your fundraise problems. This program will help you build an enduring pitch system and investor base. It’s going to take work on your end and it takes time to implement.
You care more about being covered in tech publications than you do about building an underlying solid core business. We rely on mentorship, a community of friendly investors, and proven systems to help you take your startup to the next level.
You aren’t willing to listen to credible feedback. We emphasize advice from people that already accomplished what you want to accomplish.
You want to bootstrap. This program focuses on helping people stand out in a fundraise to create a feeding frenzy from dream investors and VCs.
Fresh Funding in your Bank Account
FAQs
We meet once a week for 3 months. This session is intended to review your pipeline, address key pushbacks you're receiving, help make investor connections, craft your pitch, and ensure you close financing in your bank account.
Regarding if this is a video course, no. We meet every Friday for a live session ("fundraise Friday"). I love doing live mentorship sessions as there's a certain energy you can't capture with pre-recorded video. This course is a mix of two things: (1) live weekly sessions where I personally help you with customized fundraise support. (2) in addition, there are video tutorials, templates, and self-guided exercises for you to do outside of our live sessions
The Spatial Collective is our founder community with 100+ venture-backed founders who have raised a combined $300M+. By joining the fundraise accelerator, you also get access to everything that is included with the Spatial Collective. This includes 40 hours of recorded video advice from founders and investors, as well as a keynote every Wednesday from a special guest. Past guests have included investors from General Catalyst, Lightspeed, A16Z, and a number of founders who have raised $25M+
If you listen to my advice you should expect to meet 20-40 new investors during the 3 month period. This will be a combination of your outbound efforts, inbound strategies we set up for your business, and personal introductions of VC's from my network.
Yes, this is intended for you and your startup.
You're going to be able to fundraise like an expert, pitch your startup like a pro, and network like a genius. You'll be able to call on a deep network of investors, advisers, founders, and friends who are all open to helping you succeed. This is a no-brainer for any serious founder who wants to learn how to fundraise from the best.
