Listen to Iskender’s conversation with Johannes Salmisaari, Founder of Droppe, who raised 4m € after joining the FundraisingCOUP Program:
Michael Pleuger, Co-Founder of Akirolabs and former Senior Partner at Roland Berger and KPMG, successfully raised €4.3m (€2.3m Seed Extension + €2m from Seed Round) after joining the FundraisingCOUP Program. In one of the weekly group calls, he stated unsolicitedly:
“I’m super excited to see that we get approached by one VC after another. It’s amazing. After we struggled to be able to raise money for years, now they are throwing money after us, and it’s really super cool, even top VCs like (Name of Top-Tier SaaS VC). It’s amazing. Investors are approaching us. I love it. I like fundraising since I’m in this program.”
After raising their successful €4.3m round, Christoph Flöthman, Co-Founder of Akirolabs, sent the following mail unsolicitedly to Iskender:
“Dear Iskender, We want to thank you again for our great time at the FundraisingCOUP. We learned an incredible amount and had a lot of fun. Thank you also for your open ear and tips “offline”, which were incredibly helpful.We reviewed the time internally and came up with Iskender’s FundraisingCOUP Triple-C Success Factors in a consulting-like manner - feel free to steal them:
C - Community: It was really incredible how many good ideas were generated by all participants in the Weekly Call. Even with solid, VC-ready pitches, the presenter is bombarded with new ideas within 30 minutes, which takes the pitch to a whole new level. The community leverage is truly unique compared to online sources, YouTube, or 1on1 coaching sessions
C - Content: The content’s breadth and depth is really impressive. Especially the FOMO concept and your link to science/psychology we didn’t know yet, but make the difference because you understand WHY you use the methods, and you become convinced that they MUST work.
C - Craftsmanship: The whole program is really perfectly implemented. The Circle Tool, the structure of the Weekly Call, the Notion Second Brain. But what stands out is the Netflix-like production quality in terms of video and storytelling. It feels like watching a show instead of studying. And that really makes life easier. ”

“The Fundraising Coup is an outstanding fundraising programme. Iskender's expertise in the field shines through every aspect of the programme, from the comprehensive content to the engaging delivery. Not to mention the least that the "pitch-roasting" session are very helpful to get true feedback from the wider team and an exclusive one from Iskender. His observation skills is one of the finest I have seen my entire life. For a 2 minute pitch he can give a 20 minute feedback on things that could be done better!
The programme not only provides valuable insights into effective fundraising strategies but also empowers participants with practical tools and resources to succeed in their fundraising.Iskender and Louise's passion for helping others achieve fundraising success is evident, making this programme a must-attend for anyone involved fundraising, especially the CEOs/ Co-Founders. It helped us have a very successful oversubscribed $1M pre-seed round.”

Hi Iskender, (...) By the way, I do remember you and your feedback very well. I have had hundreds of interactions with VCs and there are only four people I remember out of all them. You are one of them. I really appreciate the time you took to give me feedback, it gave me a whole new perspective on how you -professional investors- think. Some bits of the feedback were hard to read but necessary. Thank you.
