Hey— it's Christine,

If you subscribe to my newsletter (which you should!) then you'll know that I provide founders with the latest advice on building your company.

It also means that you may have read the start of this article (as part of my once-a-week Startup Secrets newsletter). If this is you, keep scrolling down so you can get to the good stuff!

I cut through the noise and get to the heart of what really matters. 

And what matters today is that I help you raise money...

But it wasn’t always easy for me... 

I learned the hard way the difference between angel investors and VCs, family and friends rounds, equity crowdfunding, private equity, grants, and everything in between.

And I made mistakes (lots of them!) that almost certainly cost me some deals.

I don’t want this to happen to you, which is why I write this blog.

I want growth and fundraising to come much more easily to you than it did to...
