Why Raisable
On your own
With Raisable
“Thanks to Raisable and Vasyl Dub, we refined our positioning, built a clear GTM strategy, and secured our first angel check from an investor we met at one of the dinners during a bootcamp.”
Raisable turns cold outreach into warm access — you arrive already known to the investors who move your round.
How we do it
Every program is curated and application-based. Start online, come to the Valley when you're ready.
Your weekly rhythm with Silicon Valley. Small pods of founders meet active US investors every two weeks — pitch, get direct feedback, sharpen your raise. Off-the-record sessions with founders who recently closed $1M+ rounds, plus an accountability pair that keeps you moving.
Seven days inside the ecosystem: meetings at Stanford, Google, Meta, Berkeley, and top accelerators; private dinners with founders and VCs; and the kind of connections that usually take a year to build. Each edition is unique — new speakers, new rooms, same outcome: you leave with a Valley network.
Invite-only roundtables with Silicon Valley heavyweights — like the operators behind Higgsfield's 0→$200M ARR run and YC-backed founders who've scaled to $65M ARR — plus private dinners, demo nights, and founder gatherings across SF and Palo Alto.
See upcoming events →An application-only sprint to make your company fundable in the US: investor-ready narrative and deck, GTM built for the US market, hands-on work with mentors from our bench, and pitch sessions with active VC funds from our network. Cohorts open a few times a year.

About
Founders at Stanford or YC get something the rest of the world doesn't: the network, the playbooks, and the investors — by default. Our mission is to give ambitious global founders those same opportunities, wherever they started.
