Esteban went on to raise $100M+ 

Esteban raised his first $100K thanks to my introductions to Silicon Valley angels. He then went on to raise just under $150M from Bessemer Venture Partners, Tiger Global, and B Capital.

Yehiel went on to raise $20M+

I helped Yehiel meet VC's back when investors still didn't understand anything about AR/VR.

IT WASN'T ALWAYS EASY. 🥴

I was awake at 1 AM GMT in London on Zoom pitching VC’s in San Francisco at 5 PM PST, for months I barely slept. I’ve been through all the hustle. I know how awful fundraising can be, and I know how much time it can take. I spent many nights crying about our lack of capital, and not understanding what I was doing wrong.

But I kept fighting, and I figured it out. I’ve raised $10M for my own startups from venture funds like Spark Catpial (Oculus A round leader), General Catalyst ($2B+), and Future Positive (Biz Stone’s fund, former founder of Twitter). I've been through the fire many times before, and specifically in the AR/VR industry. Through hundreds of hours of refinement I’ve built a network of AR/VR investors, as well as customers, partners, and developers.

This network was built across crowdfunding platforms (I raised $600K on Republic), AngelList SPV’s (I raised $M's on AngelList), TechCrunch Disrupt (I was invited to pitch in Berlin), VC Funds (I raised $5M Seed round for my last business), and even my own Venture Fund ($3M raised from Limited Partners). I’ve sourced startups like Rec Room for Anorak Ventures, and I personally made 16 investments of my own when I ran the AR/VR Scout Fund for Niko Bonatsos at General Catalyst. I’ve given out funding grants to AR/VR startups while working atMeta, and at one point I even wired Palmer Luckey back a $1M investment (great story).

YOU DON'T NEED TO SUFFER THE SAME. 💣

I’ve seen AR/VR fundraising from every possible perspective; working at Meta, crowdfunding from angels, raising from VCs, building my own startup. This network and reputation of mine has been cultivated over a decade. I'm looking to work with the best AR/VR CEO's so that I can help them raise.

A NETWORK FOR EVERYONE. ✨

I firmly believe that people are inherently good, and kind. The key is to frame an introduction in the right way so that they'll want to meet you. 

I've worked with pre-seed startups many times, but being transparent, the best way I can help those companies are if the founder is credible, or if the company is already generating revenue. 

I am open to all, but I typically work with AR/VR CEO's who have already raised $500K+, are generating revenue, are targeting to raise $100K - $10M, and have a startup HQ in Silicon Valley, NYC, South America, UK, Europe, or India.

The formula for a successful fundraise is quite simple: COMPELLING STORY + WARM INTRODUCTIONS

I can help you with the introductions, but it is your job to give a convincing pitch.

IT WOULD BE A DREAM IF I COULD HELP 100s OF AR/VR FOUNDERS TO RAISE $100M'S OVER THE NEXT FEW YEARS 💕

AR/VR is a clear passion of mine, I've been doing it full time since 2015, and have helped a lot of people along the way. I'm not perfect, and I've made mistakes, but just like any great entrepreneur, I dust myself off and get back on the horse.
