Sound familiar?
Raising money is hard when nobody tells you what’s wrong.
- You don’t know where to start, or which investors to approach
- You’ve sent your pitch out and heard nothing back
- Investors say “too early” and you don’t know what that really means
- You’re not sure how much to ask for, or how much of your business to give away
- You’re worried you’ll only get one chance with the right people
- Meanwhile, time and savings are running down
It’s rarely your idea. Investors weigh up the same handful of things, and they rarely tell you which one put them off. Jumpstart shows you which one, and Martin helps you fix it.

Before you start
Questions founders ask
How does the free trial work?
Start today for $0.00 and try Jumpstart for 7 days. On day 8 your card is billed …, once. Cancel anytime during the free trial from your account page and you pay nothing.
I haven’t approached any investors yet. Is this for me?
Yes, and it is the best time to start. You rarely get a second first meeting, so getting investor-ready before you approach anyone protects your best contacts.
I’m already pitching. Is it too late?
No. You will find out what is making investors hesitate and fix it between meetings, so your next conversations go differently.
Does Jumpstart introduce me to investors?
Jumpstart doesn’t promise introductions. It gets you investor-ready and helps you build a shortlist of the right investors and plan how to reach them, ideally through warm introductions.
What kind of investment does it cover?
Mainly angel investors and venture capital, the usual routes for early-stage founders. Much of it also helps with a friends-and-family round.
Is it only about raising money?
Raising is the focus, but investors back whole businesses. Your mentoring, live Q&As and daily insights cover the rest of your business too, and your Day 30 review includes your next step for the business, not just the raise.
How much time does it take?
Allow 2 to 3 hours a week. Your Investor-Readiness Assessment takes about 20 minutes, and each investment template takes about 20 minutes.
Do I really get Martin?
Yes. Martin reviews your work himself, answers your questions in the live Q&As and replies in the 24/7 mentoring portal, typically within 24 to 48 hours.
Does Jumpstart guarantee I will raise investment?
No, and nobody honestly can. Jumpstart gives you a diagnosis, a plan and Martin’s feedback; what you raise depends on your business and what you do with them. See our Earnings and Income Disclaimer.
