Testimonials

Brad helped us raise well over a million dollars

If I could do it over again, I would compress the time that we spent in the early years and bring in expertise as early as possible,
because making sure that you're enlisting people that have that tacit knowledge, that "I've been there before" experience, to help guide you forward.

I was fortunate, that I've known Brad for a long time. He has extensive experience in raising venture capital. I've known him since he was 20 years old, and I've participated, watching him work all around the world.

Gregg Albright, CEO of iPromote

iPromote provides industry-leading display advertising solutions for enterprise resellers to sell and manage SMB advertisers of any budget size at scale.

"The printing platform Printify became the most powerful startup brand in the Baltics at the Baltic Brands Chart Awards Ceremony on 4 October 2019.
With $10.5 million in revenue, Printify ranks as 24th on the list of The Most Successful Companies in America according to Inc.com 2019 ratings."

If you can have somebody
experienced like Brad, that is huge because it can save you a ton of money

My advice for all the founders: it doesn't matter if it's Brad or anyone else, try to have a mentor that can guide you. And Brad is a really good one.

James Berdigans and Artis Kehris
***Founders of* *Printify.com***

"The printing platform Printify was recognized as the most powerful startup brand in the Baltics at theBaltic Brands Chart Awards Ceremony on 4 October 2019.
With $10.5 million in revenue, Printify ranks as the second fastest growing software company in America (and 24th fastest growing company), among all privately held companies, as rated by 2019 Inc. 500."

If I hadn't had Brad's coaching I'd be nowhere close to, over halfway subscribed, in a 1.5 million dollar pre-seed round, for a pre-revenue company

If you do not get your house in order, like Brad teaches, you shouldn't go out and raise money.
What I really learned was the process and the system, and getting your house in order is everything. He has an entire tool kit, to help you do that in the venture finance course, that he teaches is critical.

MEET BRAD FURBER

Founder of Aery Advisors

I’m Brad Furber. I’m a seed investor, company advisor, entrepreneur and lawyer who’s been working closely with funders, intermediaries, founders and visionary entrepreneurs just like you during my entire professional career.

I’ve been a strategic mentor, advisor and angel investor in 50+ tech startups, 15 of which have already achieved an exit or liquidity event. I served as President and CEO of a bootstrapped and profitable consumer Internet software + services global tech startup, co-founder of an innovative law firm for startups and emerging growth companies, and founding business leader of a cross-faculty innovation centre at one of the world’s top 50 research intensive universities.

I’ve been engaged to advise on more than 150 angel and venture capital financings, more than 50 mergers and acquisitions, and 10+ public offerings.

Over the past ten years, I’ve lived and worked in four countries – the USA, Denmark, Australia and now Switzerland. I understand that each region and each jurisdiction has its own unique culture and way of doing deals. I’ve seen first hand what’s worked and what hasn’t. Venture finance is not one size fits all. It requires empathy, design thinking, legal, financial and marketing know-how, strategy, persistence and true grit.

That is what I am sharing in this course.

I spoke to a startup founder with a $400K investment from a local investor. He was planning to spend it all to generate $200K revenue. I suggested it might be smarter to spend some of it, say $15K, on a compelling venture finance offer that could improve his balance sheet by $1M or more. That’s what I’m talking about – building foundations and capabilities, and selling your dream to investors who can help you innovate, compete and grow.

I want to help you help yourself – by sharing access to knowledge, expertise and networks that will enable you to meet and exceed your venture finance goals and objectives.
