Seed Money

Welcome to Seed Money, this is the podcast for early-stage CPG founders who are looking to raise your first round of funding from angel investors, even with no experience and no connections. If you are at the pre-seed or seed stage and need $100K to $500K to finally go all in on your company, this show is for you. Especially if you feel stuck, under-connected, unsure who to trust, or frustrated by investors who ghost you. Seed Money gives you clarity, confidence, and practical next steps so fundraising stops feeling mysterious and starts feeling doable. Before going on Shark Tank and securing a deal with Mark Cuban, I raised $450K in angel funding as a first-time, pre-revenue, CPG founder. No industry experience. No network. No safety net. All during a recession. If I could do it, I know you can too. The tools and buzzwords may change, but the fundamentals of raising as a first-time founder have not. For the past 15 years, I have helped founders prepare pitch decks, master investor Q&A, structure early deals, and raise capital with intention and confidence. Not by chasing investors, but by becoming fundable and finding partners who actually align with their goals. This podcast is about the fundamentals that matter at the earliest stage. How to think like an investor. How to pitch with calm conviction. How to find the right angels. And how to make smart fundraising decisions that set you up for the long game. So you can stop guessing. Stop chasing VCs who are not a fit. Stop getting ghosted by that "perfect" investor. And start doing what it takes to attract the right investors and get the funding you need to make your dream a reality. For tools, resources, and next steps, visit www.seedmoneypodcast.com
