Raise Ready
The weekend
Friday evening to Sunday. You arrive with a folder and leave with a pack.
In short
The Raise Ready weekend runs from Friday evening to Sunday. A group of founders each build their own data room, financial model, deck and go-to-market plan, with specialists in the room, then pitch under real questions. No date is set for the next one; the waitlist hears first.
Dates
No date yet.
Join the waitlist and you'll hear first: the dates, the place and the price, in one email.
How it runs
It starts before you arrive. You send everything, then answer the questions investors ask, out loud, as voice notes.
We score what we get across six areas: the financials, the data room, the pitch, the systems, partnerships and go-to-market. Your weekend is built round the gaps, not round a syllabus.

Before
Send everything
Then answer the questions investors ask, as voice notes. No script. We mark the gaps and build your weekend round them.
-
Friday evening
How investors decide
What they read first, what they check, and where they'll push.
-
Saturday
The build
Data room, model, deck, go-to-market plan. Specialists in the room, working on your numbers, not a case study.
-
Sunday
The pitch
Under real questions. Torn down, rebuilt, then filmed.
What you leave with
- A data room an investor can find their way round.
- A financial model that matches your accounts.
- A deck where the numbers and the words agree.
- A go-to-market plan you can actually run.
- A short filmed pitch for the follow-up email.
Who it's for
Founders about to raise for the first time, at pre-seed or seed, SEIS and EIS included.
And founders who raised once, hated the scramble and won't do it that way twice.
What it won't do
The weekend gets you ready. It doesn't raise the money, promise investment, invest in you or introduce you to investors. Tax and legal points go to your accountant and your solicitor.
