Problem

Hitting the Fundraising Wall

Fundraising Feels Like a Black Box

Most founders don’t know what investors really want, leaving them stuck guessing instead of acting with confidence.

A Lot of Noise, but No Clarity

Advice comes from everywhere, but rarely adds up to a clear strategy. Time gets wasted, momentum is lost.

Tired of Being Ghosted by Investors

Ghosting and lack of feedback from investors leave founders in the dark, unsure how to improve or move forward.

China

We offer regulatory insights, localization strategy, and access to trusted partners
within China’s fast-evolving innovation landscape.

Japan

We offer corporate matchmaking, market entry support, and expert guidance on navigating Japan’s structured business environment.

Uirá Souto Melo
CEO & Co-founder Lucid Genomics (€1.6m raised in 2024)

Cashcamp was a real game changer for our fundraising prep. The pitch teardown sessions made me see gaps I didn’t know we had, and the super fast iterations helped us move from a technical to an investor-ready equity story.

Zeeshan Ahmed
CEO & Co-founder Zavhy
(€1m raised in 2025)

Talking to so many VCs, we understood the fundraising process, how investor thinks and what they need to see in order to move the deal to the next step in their pipeline. They were not only giving us feedbacks, but also telling us their side of the story, which usually as a founder you don´t get to hear.
