RAISE 🪽 No BS Fundraising Podcast

Business EN ↓ 4 episodes

RAISE is the No BS fundraising podcast for founders who want sharper stories, cleaner processes and rounds that actually close. Hosted by Nick Katz, founder of RAISE the boutique fundraising advisory, each episode goes inside a real raise: how the deal was framed, what nearly killed it and what finally got investors to yes. If you’re raising now or planning to, this is your unfair advantage.
