Startup Mentorship Programme: Convince investors your business is the one to back
Through 1-2-1 mentoring, you’ll be guided to craft the three critical fundraising assets you need to convince investors – a believable business plan, credible financial projections and a persuasive pitch, so you’re in a much better position to secure the vital funds you need to grow. You’ll then be supported to develop and execute a targeted investor outreach strategy aimed at building relationships and delivering meaningful conversations.
I can honestly say your programme has been one of the best business investments I’ve ever made. Not only have I learned so much, but it has caused me to re-evaluate so many things, making my business stronger.

Mentorship To Support Growth
In order to succeed, founders must demonstrate to investors that there are three things; that they are highly resourceful and able to get people to buy into their vision, that they understand the financial risks and rewards of investment, and that they understand how to achieve commercial success. Without demonstrating these three things, investors will not view you as an Investable Entrepreneur, and they will not invest.
By following our global-award-winning methodology, we develop Investable Entrepreneurs who are 40x more likely to receive the investment they need. Through our unique process, you’ll develop and refine your commercial strategy and document it in an investor-ready business plan, you’ll produce a credible set of financial projections that detail the financial risks and rewards at play, and you’ll articulate your vision through pitch materials that intrigue, excite and convince investors.
– How Our Mentorship works –
Getting you Pitch Ready
Through 1-2-1 support sessions, we’ll support and guide you to build and execute your critical fundraising assets and deliver an investment campaign that will have investors lining up. You’ll receive continuous advice and guidance from your mentor in between sessions, so you’re fully supported to make meaningful and actionable progress.
Phase 1: The Investment Landscape
We’ll begin with a deep dive into your current investment assets and business case. We’ll explore the fundraising journey, your business valuation, the mind of an investor and the proof points you need to get their attention – giving you the very best chance they’ll back your business.
Phase 2: The Perfect Plan
This is all about refining your business strategy and framing your business case for investment. We’ll delve into the fundamentals of an investable business plan and guide you to identify the red flags and gaps that may hinder your progress with investors. By the end of this phase, you’ll have an investor-ready business plan that details your implementation strategy and documents how you’ll deliver investors a return on investment.
Phase 3: The Perfect Projections
Here we delve into the numbers. You’ll be guided to create a credible forecast of your business growth over the next five years. With 1-2-1 support and access to our investor-verified financial model, you’ll have everything you need to map out your income and expenditure, cash flow and balance sheet movements for the next five years – we’ll even guide you to create the metrics needed for investors to make an informed decision.
Phase 4: The Perfect Pitch
During this phase you’ll produce a set of convincing and compelling pitch materials that quickly and clearly explain to investors what makes your idea special, and why they should invest. With 1-2-1 guidance, content frameworks and premium pitch templates, you’ll create content that clearly articulates your value proposition and onboards investors into your vision, while also evidencing your strategy for delivering a return on their investment.
Phase 5: Investor Outreach
Next it’s all about preparing your investor outreach campaign. You’ll explore a tried and tested playbook for meeting, seeking and converting investors and get 1-2-1 advice on how to run a successful investor outreach campaign and quickly close a deal on the very best terms. You’ll receive continued support throughout your campaign, or for as long as you need, from the very first outreach to receiving the cash in the bank.

What our clients say
Honestly… I am overwhelmed with how perfect the programme really is. You should charge more! I got funded at £443k in exchange for 5% equity – the results speak volumes. James’ detailed and well delivered style really suited my learning
I can honestly say this has been one of the best business investments I’ve ever made. Not only have I learned so much, but it has caused me to re-evaluate so many things, making my business stronger.
I had attended several workshops run by James and was impressed by the level of expertise. This programme didn’t disappoint. It’s excellent, and one I would happily recommend to any entrepreneur looking to learn more about the mindset of the investor.
The best programme I’ve ever attended. James is meticulous in his delivery – you are investing in a process with hands-on support from James. The quality of templates and instructions were very high indeed and you walk away at the end with a high-quality set of assets and the confidence to seek investment.
I’m very impressed. As we’re bootstrapping, every penny spent is prioritised, but I really feel this has been one of the best things I’ve spent money on for any of my businesses. I’m now able to drive my business forward and the tools provided will be useful in the long term.
