Run your best fundraise.
One-on-one fundraising coaching for top founders. Raise faster, with nothing left on the table.
I work with founders on every part of their raise: the story, the materials, the investor process, and the close. The goal is simple: accelerate your fundraise, and make your company as VC-backable as it can possibly be.
Two ways to work together.
Upfront pricing. No success fees, no percentage of your round.
1:1 Fundraising Coaching
The goal: get through your raise faster, with a hands-on partner at every step — from story to term sheet.
- 1 or 2 hour-long hands-on sessions every week on Zoom or Google Meets
- Direct access to Jorian on WhatsApp and email between sessions
- Between-session Loom reviews of your materials — decks, docs, memo, investor list, email comms, call recordings, etc.
- Pattern recognition from 60+ founder raises totaling $270M+
I work with only 5–7 founders at a time, so each raise gets my full attention.
Fundraising Workshop
One intensive session to pressure-test your raise and leave with a clear plan.
- I spend ~2 hours before our session reviewing everything you send, so we start at full speed
- 90-minute workshop on whatever moves your raise most: your story, your investor process, or a full diagnosis
- Ideal right before launching a raise, or when a raise needs a reboot
- The $1,500 credits toward your first month if you continue into coaching
Many founders start with the workshop and continue into coaching.
Who this is for.
A great fit if you're:
- A venture-track founder about to launch a raise or already in one
- Willing to roll up your sleeves and put real work into preparation
- Looking for a hands-on coach who will give you real feedback
- Raising anywhere from pre-seed to Series C
Not a fit if you're:
- Raising under $500K. I work with founders raising VC-style or sizable angel rounds
- Wanting a done-for-you raise you don't have to show up for
- Looking for someone to make investor introductions for you. I'm a coach, not a broker
- Expecting success-fee or commission arrangements

I met Jorian through The Breakfast community right before we began raising our Seed round. From our very first call, Jorian was incredibly open and helpful.

Thanks to Jorian, we also found introductions to VCs we had been trying to connect with.
Hi, I'm Jorian.
I'm a fundraising coach for startup founders, with a background spanning raising VC capital at startups, Harvard Business School, and Owl Ventures.
Over 10+ years in startups and venture capital I've helped 60+ founders raise $270M+, all the way from pre-seed to Series C.
Why coaching? Because fundraising is one of the most important parts of building a startup, yet top founders often find the process murky and frustrating, and end up leaving money on the table. I love helping founders run a high-quality, accelerated fundraise, so they can get back to the core of their startup: building and selling.
My favorite message to get from a founder isn't that they closed the round — it's that they're proud of the fundraise they ran.
