I admire your work for helping founders. Honestly, I think many have failed because not everyone knows how to write the perfect pitch deck, financial modeling and pitching to VCs not unless they know you or found your website! Really great help for a starting founder like me.

What

What is a Fundraise Process Manager Tool?

If you want to raise money, you need to run a process. You’re not going to have an investor reach out and give you the money you want on the terms you like and get back to execution in a day.

Nope. Welcome to pain. You’re going to hit the road and hit up 50-250 investors.

Yeah. How are you going to manage that shite show?

This tool is how you manage your process.

It’s basically just a free and custom CRM for fundraising.

who

Who Needs a Fundraise Process Manager Tool?

Everyone in startup-related land needs to know about this topic. So whether you are a founder, investor or advisor, why not have a little play with this!

Startup Founders

The startup is a huge pain in the rear! There is just so much to learn and figure out!

All my tools are designed to help you with one specific thing you can apply to either action on or build on your learnings.

Even if you don’t need the tool now, you won’t waste your time reading the supporting blog (or watching a video if I made one) and then playing with the tool for 20 minutes.

You’ll be able to start getting some latent learnings that could help you understand the topic when it is a focus.

If the tool does help you now, then fantastic! Let me know about it over email or leave a comment on the page!

Investors

Investors are meant to know everything! The thing is, we both know that you don’t, and you are always learning!

All my tools will help you to build on your learnings (for free) so you can be more proficient in your job and support founders better.

If you don’t understand founder needs, how are you going to do the ‘value add’ you keep talking about!

Startup Advisors

If you are advising founders, then you know you can never stop learning! Regardless of the niche you focus on, it is always useful to be able to touch on a topic.

My free tools will help you to understand a topic you don’t know a Scooby Clue about or something you want to build knowledge on.

Note: These aren’t for sale or to white-label.

    Fundraising Takes Up a Lot of Time

    • You can expect to take 6 months to raise
    • You need to be structured
  2. 2

    You Will Lose Track If Not Detailed

    • Tracking investors via Email is a very dumb idea
    • Forgetting to update investor status can blow half an hour trying to remember if they “emailed back or not”

Why is My Tool Worth Getting

  1. 1

    I Make Cool Things (and am capable)

    • There is a lot of blah around by people who aren’t terribly good at Excel/PowerPoint etc
    • You’ll see the attention to detail and actual thought put into what I gift you (so you aren’t wasting your time)
  2. 2

    My Free Tools Are Better Than What Some Charge For

    • I only made tools because I couldn’t find anything I would use myself
    • Even if you don’t ‘actually need the tool’, the point is to teach you concepts you can apply
  3. 3

    I Don’t Have a Hardcore Marketing Funnel

    • I make tools to actually help founders
    • You aren’t going to be hounded with emails to get you to buy things
    • Whilst I do sell some stuff, seeing the quality I give for free is way better marketing than using fancy words to convince you

Other Related Tools

You’re busy, so there are other great tools that I’ve made that might be of use to you. Here are some you can check out if you would like.

SaaS Financial Model

SaaS startup with monthly and annual contracts. Self-onboard and sales supported customers. Think Buffer, Zapier, Hubspot, or Xero. Cohort model with all the capability you expect including expansion revenue, churn and full marketing funnel. If you are in SaaS this is a no brainer model for you. Get the enterprise SaaS model if you have a long sales cycle though.

App Social Financial Model

You distribute your startup on Android and Apple stores and make money charging for in-app services. You have aspirations for virality to drive your user adoption.

FAQs

Check the FAQs if you are having issues. Don’t message me if “I can’t download the file”.

Is this free?

Yes.

Fill in your name and email in the submission form and it will be emailed to you.

My (automated) system works. You’ve made a basic mistake.

  • Check you input your email accurately

I have feedback to improve

I’d love feedback from you!

You can reach out to me through the contact page

How do I open the file?

When you press download in an email from me, it normally saves to your Downloads folder.

So go there first to find the file.

I normally have to ZIP the file so it will work with SaaS automation systems.

So get WinZip, WinRAR, or use whatever Mac/PC offers these days. Unzip the file (Right click and press “uncompress” etc). If you don’t know how to do this, then use Google.

Once you uncompress, the ZIP file will remain, and you will see a new file (sort the download folder by date modified if confused).

I assure you that everything I provide works, so if you can’t access it, it’s a ‘you’ problem.

Can I sell / share your tools?

No.

You can share a link to this page, which would be much appreciated!

Can I share your tools on social media?

Please share the link to this page. It would be super-appreciated, but only if you like it!

If you don’t like it, then leave a comment or shoot me an email first so I can take your feedback on board first and see if I can improve!
