Startup Fundraising: From Rejected to Funded is a focused session from the Angel & VC Pitch Academy, designed to help early-stage founders turn a rejected pitch into a funded round.

What it is A practical, one-hour working session on the mechanics of raising capital - not theory, but the specific things investors look for and the reasons most first pitches get turned down.

Who it's for

Pre-seed and seed-stage founders preparing to raise
First-time founders who have already been rejected by angels or VCs and want to understand why
Solopreneurs and small founding teams building an investor-ready narrative
Anyone assembling a pitch deck ahead of an angel or VC conversation

What to expect

Story architecture - how to frame the problem, insight, and wedge so an investor understands the opportunity in the first two minutes
Investor deck construction - the slides that matter, the ones that get cut, and the order that keeps attention
Pitch delivery - handling the questions that derail founders, and how to respond to objections without losing the room
Common rejection patterns - the recurring gaps that cause angels to pass, and how to close them before the next meeting

Format A live online session hosted by Fundable Startups, part of their Angel & VC Pitch Academy series. The academy runs structured programming for founders working through the fundraising process, from narrative building through to live pitch practice with investors.

Why it matters Most early rejections are not about the business - they are about how the business is presented. This session targets that gap directly, giving founders a repeatable process for refining their story and deck before they are in front of the people who write cheques.
