Beta Readers: Be Part of the Story

Fundraising for the Rest of Us is the book I wish I had when I was raising millions for my startups.

But I don’t want it to be about just my experience. For the book to make a real impact, the Us in the title needs to be truly represented.

I am looking for founders, aspiring founders, investors, and startup mentors to help me shape the book as beta readers.

As a beta reader, you’ll get early access to draft chapters every 1 - 2 weeks over the next 2 - 3 months and share your feedback on what’s working, what’s not, and what’s missing.

You will also be the first members of a private founder community I’m building around the book. We’ll host conversations about fundraising challenges (and wins!), and connect through live Q&A sessions.

I am also looking for real founder stories to feature throughout the book, and I’ll turn to the beta reader community first when sourcing them.

Reading and editing someone else’s book can take time, and I don’t ever want this to feel like a burden. My hope is that you will find support, community, and new ideas that make your effort meaningful and worthwhile.

If you’re interested in becoming a beta reader, please fill out this short form - it will help us get to know you and provide the right context for your feedback:

All founders, investors, and startup community members are welcome.

I’m excited to build this with you!
