How the call goes · 101 sec · English, subtitled

  • Where you are now — product, stage, traction, team, legal entity, money spent so far.
  • Where you're heading — your goals and what the money is for.
  • What investors will reject you for — cap table, team expertise, product features, unit economics, traction — and what to change.
  • Where to go first for your stage, industry and product — grants, programs or investors, in what order — and where the first money can realistically come from.
  • Your questions, answered live.
I mentored two startups to 1st and 3rd place at Lviv IT Arena 2022 — Ukraine's leading tech conference — securing $20K and $15K in non-equity funding.

Raising money is a full-time job.

Learning where to apply, when, and what makes you fundable is a second one — and you still have a product to build. Figure it out alone and you pay in mistakes and months — the months your product needed.

Meet Sasha

See who I am and why I do what I do — a 64-second video.

Long story short: I've built startups — some worked, some failed. And working at Demium, a VC fund, I realised that one of the most exciting parts is sharing what I know. That's what gives me energy — and keeps me smiling.

I'm still building products and still raising money for them, so I know what's happening with investment and grants right now.

Come to a call, and you'll leave with answers and a clear idea of what to do next.

Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly do I get for €150?

An hour with someone who has both won and lost at this — rejected plenty of times, and funded by Google for Startups. That experience is what you're buying. You also get a written Funding Readiness Map within 2 business days: a clear checklist of what to do, where to go and what to change. And you can write to me with a question afterwards — I'll answer.

What does the 100% guarantee mean?

That after the call you know what to do, who to ask for money, what to change and which tactics to use. If anything in the session or the Funding Readiness Map is unclear, write to me and I'll explain — free. What nobody can guarantee is that a fund or a programme says yes.

Do I pay before the call?

Yes — by card through Stripe when you book. I prepare for every call, so payment upfront is what makes that preparation worth doing and confirms you'll show up. The slot is confirmed the moment the payment goes through.

Can I cancel or reschedule without any penalties?

Cancel more than 24 hours before the call and you get your money back. Rescheduling costs nothing either — once per booking. Full rules in the Refund policy.

Is the payment secure?

Payment runs through Stripe, the same processor used by millions of businesses. Any major card works. Your card details go straight to Stripe — I never see or store them.

What does "free cancellation" mean?

That up to 24 hours before the start time you can cancel in one click and get the full €150 back to the same card — automatically, without asking me. The refund is issued by Stripe; how fast it lands depends on your bank, usually a few business days.

Will you introduce me to investors?

I can, but it's not part of the price — it happens as an exception, when I like the startup and the team. What the session gives you is the list of who to approach and how; the intro comes from you.

Will I get a list of funds after the call?

Yes — the map names the funds and angels that actually fit your stage, geography and sector, with links, what each of them looks for and in what order to approach them. Whether they say yes is not something I or anyone can promise.

Will I get a list of grants I can apply to?

Yes — the programmes you qualify for today, with deadlines, amounts and links, plus the ones worth preparing for later and what has to change first to make you eligible.

Do I need to prepare anything?

No. A link to your product and, ideally, your deck — you add them when booking.

Which languages?

English, Ukrainian, Russian — the call and the map in the language you choose.

Do you write the application or the deck for me?

No. I tell you what to change and how to make it stronger — the writing stays yours.
