― WHO IS THIS FOR
Built for
founders raising their
first round.
If you're building something real and ready to raise, or about to start,
this is the community for you. We built it specifically for:
Pre-seed founders
Product built, early traction, ready to raise $250K–$500K.
Seed-stage teams
Revenue or strong signals, targeting $500K–$2M.
First-time raisers
Never pitched to investors. Need structure, not theory.
Solo entrepreneurs
Can't afford $10K advisory. Need a system, not a consultant.
AI startups
Want to use AI to build decks, models, and outreach faster.

― YOUR HOST
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
✓ AI-driven workflow — tools built for speed
✓ DFY option for founders who want it done right

Frequently asked questions.
Common questions from founders considering the community.
I’ve never raised before. Is this too advanced for me?
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.
What makes this different from a free YouTube video or a $29 course?
Access. You get live calls with someone who’s done 200+ raises, a community of founders at the same stage, AI tools that build decks and models in hours instead of weeks, and an optional done-for-you upgrade path. Generic content can’t diagnose your specific gaps or answer your questions in real time.
How does the AI tooling actually work?
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.
What’s the DFY upsell?
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 and reviewed by Ro. It’s optional. Most members start with the community and upgrade if they want speed.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. Monthly membership, cancel anytime through Skool. No contracts, no lock-in. Founding members keep their $99/mo rate for life as long as they stay active.
