Who Wants to Raise Millions?

​The Counterintuitive Playbook for Founders Seeking Capital

​In 2022, I raised $5M in one week as a solo founder with no prior exits. By every traditional metric, this shouldn't have happened.

​Join me for a presentation that breaks every rule you've been taught about fundraising. This isn't another "perfect your pitch deck" workshop – it's the real playbook VCs don't want you to know.

​What You'll Discover:

​• Why the founders who care the least raise the most

​• The exact moment when Silicon Valley lost its mind (hint: November 2022)

​• Why most first-time founders are asking the wrong question entirely

​• The theater performance that creates bidding wars

​• When admitting ignorance becomes your superpower

​Who Should Attend:

​• First-time founders considering raising capital

​• Anyone who's been rejected and wants to know why

​• Builders who think they need VC money (you might be wrong)

​• People curious about how the game really works

​About Me:

​I'm Prad and I’m building Sonr, a blockchain for decentralized identity. Self-taught coder, W3C member, former MIT guest lecturer. We're backed by Shima Capital, Torch Capital, Synergis, Outlier Ventures, Backend Capital and Builder Capital – a mix of crypto natives and traditional VCs who bet on our vision when others called it "not deep tech enough."

​Format:

​30-minute presentation + 15-minute Q&A

​Bring your hardest questions.
