How to turn your full-time fundraising job into a mini-job - and still get investors faster than 99% of all startups

You write hundreds of emails.

You run from event to event.

You talk to countless investors.

And you still get rejected over and over?

The investors you talk to don't seem to understand you and your impact vision.

You feel more and more like a hobo in a pedestrian zone begging for money.

You don't want to die in the startup desert like 99% of impact founders and never manage to realize your vision?

You're in the right place if you:

  • understand that impact and money are inextricably linked - and that this is a good thing.
  • don't see investors as the enemy, but as the biggest lever to realize your impact vision.
  • are not just looking for money, but for a partner who helps you with every step on the way like Gandalf Frodo.

I'll show you:

  • How to get investors who want to maximize both your profit and your impact.
  • How to build a waiting list of investors who can't wait to invest in you and your startup.
  • How to make a lasting impression from the very first second - and stand out from all the other pitches.

If “impact” is just a buzzword to you and you want to use it to get rich quick, then my site is not for you.

Because I'm addressing impact founders who don't agree with the current system.

And are not afraid of making a lot of money with their startup.

I will help you find investors who have a genuine interest in you and your startup.

And make their entire network available to you so that you can realize your impact vision.

Now you might be asking yourself:

Why am I focusing on impact startups?

Here is the answer:

My switch from big pharma clients to Impact-startups

I’ve consulted shipping, real estate and pharma corporations for 17 years as a negotiation trainer.

I’ve coached Goliaths to keep a cool head and get the best deals.

Goliaths who prioritize profits over planetary health.

Until a very good friend, Gavin Allwright, who negotiates at the UN for cleaning up the shipping industry, told me:

"Ben, you’re training the wrong people. You should be training people in sustainability.

Drop whatever you’re doing. THIS is what you need to be doing.”

And I did.

I gave up well-paying clients, the network I’ve built over the last decade, and committed 100% to helping impact startups.

Hi, I'm Ben Kimura-Gross.

I'm a negotiation trainer, coach and father.

As a trainer, I help impact startups get their perfect-match investor fast and get funding.

As a coach, I help founders prepare for crucial negotiations to achieve the best possible outcome (without bad compromises).

As a father, I want to help that my 19-year-old daughter has the chance to grow up in a healthy world.

That's why I'm 100% focused on coaching impact startups.

Because I believe that they hold the biggest lever in their hand to truly impact the world we live in.

And they're also the ones who severely lack persuasion skills.

Convince crackingly.

Get crackin' 🙂
