Get funded.
I support ambitious founders in building meaningful investor relationships and accelerating their fundraising campaigns.
A decade of building.
Now I raise for others.
After ten years launching ventures and serving as operator, mentor, and advisor across the startup ecosystem, I opened my investor network to founders who needed more than advice — they needed access.
That became Seedraisr. I'm scouting for EWOR, Flashpoint Ventures, and Santa Barbara Venture Partners, and mentor at accelerators like Techstars, tech2impact and Founders Institute. My expertise spans BD, GTM, PR & content marketing, fundraising, investor relations, B2B sales, and event management.
Getting you investment-ready
I work with a small number of founders at a time — deeply, not superficially.
Investment Readiness
I help you sharpen every element investors scrutinize: pitch deck, storytelling, financial model, traction metrics, and growth narrative. You'll go into every meeting prepared and confident.
Investor Outreach
I open my curated network of angels, VCs, and family offices to the founders I work with. Outreach is targeted, warm where possible, and always backed by research — not spray-and-pray.
Mentoring & Strategy
From GTM and BD to fundraising timeline and cap table strategy, I work alongside you as an operator who has been in the same seat — not just an advisor at arm's length.

Seedraisr is my personal fundraising advisory practice. I'm Michael Schneider — founder, operator, and venture partner — and I open my investor network and expertise to a small number of ambitious startups to help them raise capital more effectively.
Founders raising pre-seed to Series A who are serious about their fundraise and ready to put in the work. I'm selective — I only take on startups I genuinely believe in and can meaningfully help.

It means your pitch deck, financial model, key metrics, and narrative are tight enough to withstand serious investor scrutiny. I work through each element with you — deck, story, model, traction, growth assumptions — until you're genuinely ready.
It depends on your stage, budget, and needs. 'Unfair Advantage' is the entry point — a fast, high-value diagnostic and shortlist before you spend a single warm intro. 'Skin in the Game' is ideal if you want low upfront cost and are focused on network introductions. 'All-In' is for founders who want full investment readiness support and maximum outreach.
No one can guarantee funding — and anyone who does is misleading you. What I can guarantee is that I'll put your application in front of the right people and that you'll be well-prepared when it matters.
My network includes angels, VC funds, family offices, and emerging managers across Europe and beyond. I also scout for EWOR, Flashpoint Ventures, and Santa Barbara Venture Partners, and I'm a venture partner at CCV Group and HotStart VC.
