No warm intros means no meetings. It's that simple.
If you're raising for the first time, your network's a ghost town.
If you've raised before, your old connections have gone cold.
Either way, you're stuck at 5-10 investor meetings when you need 50+.
This system fixes that.
Not with more cold outreach, but with a structured process to build and activate a warm investor network.
"Gian gave us a step-by-step process to build our network so we always knew our next move. Having a thought partner on the raise has been very beneficial for our raise."
Your deck is done. Your product is real. But your fundraise isn't moving because you can't get in front of the right investors.
You've tried cold emails... maybe dozens, maybe hundreds. The response rate is brutal. You know warm intros are the answer, but you don't have a system for getting them.
You might be:
→ A first-time founder who's built something real but has zero investor network. You're watching other founders announce rounds and wondering: "How are they getting these meetings? What do they know that I don't?"
→ A repeat founder who raised before but your network has dried up. The investors who backed your last round aren't returning emails. You need to rebuild — fast — but you're not starting from the same place you were 2 years ago.
→ A founder who's about to raise in the next 3–6 months and knows that if you wait until launch day to start building your network, you've already lost. You want to walk into your raise with 100+ warm paths already mapped.
What they all have in common: They're done guessing. They want a system they can control.
It's the exact same process I've used with founders who've raised $250M+ combined. Plug it in, and in 30 days you'll have 100+ warm intros flowing and an investor CRM that gives you the same systematic approach that successful founders use to close their rounds.
I started my career as a serial founder. However I failed to fundraise for my first 2 startups. This was a frustrating experience and I spent a long time trying to understand why I failed.
I applied these learnings to my next company where we raised $16,000,000.
Before joining Octopus Ventures, one of Europe's largest Venture Capital firms, as a VC. During my 3 years at Octopus I was a part of $200,000,000 in venture capital funding from pre-seed to series B companies. This allowed me to see the other side of the coin in fundraising.
Then, I decided to leave my VC job as I had the itch to be a founder again.
And I have now spent the last 4 years trying to solve how to create a structured process to fundraising that makes it more efficient and effective.
The founders I have helped have gone on to raise $250,000,000+ through this process.
And I can help you build yours.
By the end of this program, you won't just "know more about networking." You'll have a working system, already built, populated, and ready to run.
Most founders wing their network. They rely on luck, a few LinkedIn messages, and hope that someone will make an intro. That's a coin flip that you don't want to chance.
Here's what you'll build instead:
First, we’ll build your investor CRM from the ground up. You’ll organize your existing contacts, uncover hidden connections you didn't know you had, and map 100+ warm paths to the investors who actually fund companies like you. You'll finish this section with a populated CRM instead of an empty spreadsheet. This is your fundraising command center.
Next, you’ll learn how to unlock warm introductions, even from people you haven’t spoken to in years or never met. You'll get the exact scripts, frameworks, and tactics to get intros without feeling spammy That turns "I don't know anyone" into a pipeline of warm conversations. This is where momentum starts.
Finally, we’ll show you how to run this system week by week. How to follow up without nagging, keep your pipeline warm, and create long-term investor relationships that compound into your next round and the one after that.
Using this warm intro system.
Most founders are playing a guessing game with their network. And you're paying for it with sleepless nights, radio silence, and watching your runway burn while competitors close their rounds.
"Hustling" 100 extra cold emails that disappear into the void isn't going to be the way that you fundraise.
You need a systematic way to generate real investor momentum - the kind that gets you as many quality meetings as you can handle.
Here's the brutal truth: Your company might be amazing, but if you can't get in front of the right investors, none of that matters.
This system fixes that problem. Period.
And the best part? You don't have to take my word for it. Just look at what founders have accomplished using this exact process:
"Gian’s unique insight as both an investor and founder sets this program apart. Most fundraising courses focus on decks and data rooms but this one dives into much more; warm intros and executing a competitive, effective raise. He helped us build a structured operating system in our network, how to measure success and keep accountable - which ultimately lead us to close a $3.15M seed round. Invaluable expertise and support!"
“Gian knows his stuff! Despite having fundraised multiple times before for my own businesses and supporting others - what I have learnt has been a game changer. His hands-on experience has given me invaluable insight, not only into the mindset of an investor and the process, but critically the importance of discipline and structure when building my network."
"Gian’s insights completely changed how I approach fundraising. His real experience on the other side of the table gave me a clear roadmap.The structured system and step-by-step process with building a network made everything click. If you're serious about fundraising, this is the program you need."
"Working with Gian turned fundraising from chaos into a clear, repeatable system especially in my network. His approach to investor storytelling, follow-ups, and handling tough questions made the process far more manageable. Every founder needs this."
“Gian’s ability to show the how to build my own network to reach investors was such a gamechanger for us. His blueprint on how to set-up a raise was exactly what we needed.”
"Gian's advice has been extremely useful and not the kind of advice you can simply find googling around. We were able to meet so many investors for our round because of his systems."

“Gian’s completely changed how we set-up our network and met investors, forced us to work through a proper fundraising process and gave me the right tactics for each stage on how to approach investor communications.”
“Gian's Fundraising Founder program was incredibly insightful. I discovered this before my 3rd round of investment and wish I had all this information at the start of my founder journey. He's managed to condense years of his own experience and weeks of reading fundraising blogs yourself, into an actionable and compact program. Extremely well spent money.”
"Gian's advice has been extremely useful and not the kind of advice you can simply find googling around. We were able to meet so many investors for our round because of his systems."
“We worked with Gian during the acceleration period of one of our startups, Shuttle Catheters. He helped us tremendously with his genuine, direct, and accurate insights. His mentoring helped me overcome our catch-22 situation thanks to his ability to unloose gordian knots.”
“I went from having zero network as a first time founder to being able to meet so many investors for my funding round. This system gave me the tools to do that in a fast and timely manner.”
“People who are serious about this, about fundraising should definitely give the program a go because it gives them so much in terms of the operating system, the tools, the frameworks, and the CRM to get started”
