Built for founders
raising their first round.
You have a business worth backing. You just haven't done this before. No pitch deck, no financial model, no idea where to find investors. That's exactly where we start.
- Pre-seed FoundersProduct built, early traction, ready to raise $250K–$500K.
- Seed-stage FoundersRevenue or strong signals, targeting $500K–$2M.
- First-time RaisersNever pitched to investors. Need structure, not theory.
- Solo / Small TeamsCan't afford $10K advisory. Need a system, not a consultant.
- AI-curious FoundersWant to use AI to build decks, models, and outreach faster.

Hi, I'm Ro.
I spent years at KPMG, UBS, CBA, and NAB — on the other side of the table. Evaluating deals, sitting in investment committees, deciding where capital goes. I know what investors look for because I was one of the people looking.
Over 200+ capital raise engagements, I've seen every mistake founders make — and the patterns that get deals done. I built Raise & Scale to give first-time founders the system, tools, and community they need to raise with confidence.
- KPMG, UBS, CBA, NAB — institutional finance background
- 200+ capital raise engagements across 5+ years
- Deep expertise in pitch decks AND financial models
- 98% AI-driven workflow — tools built for speed
- DFY option for founders who want it done right
FAQ
Common questions from founders considering the community.
The opposite — this is built specifically for first-time founders. The curriculum starts from the basics (what investors look for, how to structure a pitch deck, how to build a financial model) and builds up. You don't need any prior fundraising experience.
Access. You get live calls with someone who's done 200+ raises, a community of founders at the same stage, AI-powered tools that build decks and models in hours instead of weeks, and an optional DFY upgrade path. Generic content can't diagnose your specific gaps or answer your questions in real time.
You get a curated prompt pack and templates designed for capital raising — narrative structure, financial model scaffolding, market sizing, investor outreach. Feed in your business details, and the AI generates first drafts you can refine. It's not magic — it's a system that removes the blank-page problem.
For founders who want it done professionally: we build your pitch deck, financial model, and investor targeting strategy for a flat $3,500. Delivered by Ro's team, QA'd by Ro. It's optional — most members start with the DIY path and upgrade if they want speed.
