Fees
The structured programme that takes you from ‘investment-curious’ to investor pitch-ready.
The Raise-Ready Bootcamp is a comprehensive, cohort-based training programme covering everything a pre-seed founder needs to understand before approaching investors. It’s not a workshop. It’s not a one-day event. It’s a structured, rigorous curriculum built on 30+ years of real investment experience — the knowledge that usually only comes from being inside the room.
We cover the full investment readiness landscape: how investors think, what your financials really need to show, how to build a credible cap table, what due diligence actually looks like, and how to find, approach and close the right investors for your stage and sector.
Available exclusively through accelerator partnerships.
The Raise-Ready Bootcamp is delivered directly to cohorts through partnering accelerators and university programmes. Fees are negotiated with each partner organisation — in many cases, there is no direct cost to founders participating.
Via Accelerators: The Raise Ready Bootcamp typically runs for 1 day over 5 weeks – with 6 months of telephone support afterwards.
Via Universities: The Raise Ready Bootcamp typically runs over a semester – with 6 months of telephone support afterwards.
We partner with accelerators, university entrepreneurship programmes, and ecosystem organisations across Scotland who want to give their supported founders a genuine edge when it comes to investor conversations.
The Bootcamp covers:
- Using inexpensive or free AI tools to streamline and fast-track your raise
- The investor mindset — what they’re actually looking for at pre-seed
- Investment readiness assessment — knowing your own gaps before investors find them
- Pitch deck construction — structure, narrative, and what each slide must do
- Financial modelling and projections that investors will believe
- Cap table management and term sheet basics
- Due diligence preparation — getting your house in order
- Building and working your investor target list
- The fundraising process from first contact to close

Access Should Never Be the Barrier
The Problem We’re Solving
Over 20 years, I’ve watched founders spend £10,000+ on consultants, waste 9-12 months with trial-and-error approaches, and give up unnecessary equity to accelerators – all because they lacked systematic fundraising education.
The founders who need help the most are often the ones who can least afford expensive advisors. It’s a broken system that perpetuates inequality in the startup ecosystem.
We’re fixing it.
