Hey, I'm Lisa @ Atrium - here to answer any questions.

I run our fundraising bootcamp Atrium Academy w/Justin to help founders meet the right investors and raise a great Series A.

Check it out/Apply here for our next one in March: www.atrium.co/academy

Maybe it would be good to apply some 'star power' discounts here and there, what works for Justin most likely will not work in the same way or even at all for others. Justin has the pick of the litter when it comes to raising funding and some of the advice given really does not translate to 'the real world' of founders doing their first raise.

I'm one of the founders (82 Labs, Inc.) who attended the Academy. Met top tier VC partners (all decision makers in their funds) on the spot, pitched, got great feedback, and found the process extremely efficient. One of them gave us term sheets for Series A few weeks (and more meetings) later :) Highly recommend.

Hey Jacques, you're absolutely right given Justin's background.

We started Atrium Academy to help democratize the fundraising process for founders (ie. speaking with first time founders who just raised their Series A, reviewing pitch decks and narratives with mentors, being matched with recommended investors based on industry and expertise)

So you're introducers, taking a 5% fee?

Hey Scott,

Atrium Academy doesn't take any fees, or charge any money. Our mission is to help founders by offering free, educational workshops for the startup community.
