The Fundraising Operator's Playbook.
Seven plays from fifteen years of raising, backing, and engineering rounds for founders for founders building at the bitcoin × AI × robotics intersection.
- Play 01. Build the thesis investors can't unsee — why a bet beats a business plan.
- Play 02. Engineer a lead investor — the strategy Unocoin ran with Draper, DCG, Boost VC.
- Play 03. The surgical target list — 30 investors who fit, not 300 who might.
- Play 04. Multi-channel outreach that doesn't feel like spam.
- Play 05. Create the pressure that closes the round.
- Play 06. Know when to walk away — and what "better capital" actually means.
- Play 07. The post-close — onboarding investors so they actually help.
Common questions.
Is this really free?
Yes. I write this stuff anyway. The playbook is the condensed version of fifteen years of pattern recognition — I'd rather have it in the hands of founders building the machine economy than locked in a Notion I never open.
What do you do with my email?
I add you to my list. Every Thursday I send one operator-level idea on fundraising, bitcoin, AI, or robotics. If it's not useful, unsubscribe — takes one click.
Who is this for?
Founders raising (or about to raise) at the bitcoin × AI × robotics intersection. Works equally well for pre-seed, seed, and Series A. Not useful if you're looking for a 2005-style "pitch deck checklist" — there are plenty of those elsewhere.
Do you actually do this work yourself?
Yes. Through RaaSRocket we engineer lead investors for founders. I've raised at Unocoin (Draper Associates, Digital Currency Group, Boost VC), advised at 3iQ (Canada's first regulated bitcoin fund), and run BD at Kraken and Buttercoin. This playbook is the compressed version of what I actually do on calls.
