How baluminovi Transforms Fundraising Education

We've been refining our approach since 2019, learning from both successful raises and painful rejections

2019
Founded on Real Pain Points
Started after watching too many brilliant Australian founders struggle with fundraising basics. The gap between what investors wanted and what founders presented was huge.
2021
First Cohort Success
Our initial 12 founders raised a combined $8.2M within six months. We realized we were onto something — practical education beats theory every time.
2023
Methodology Refined
After working with 200+ startups, we identified the seven critical fundraising mistakes that kill deals. Our curriculum now addresses each one systematically.
2024
Investor Network Expansion
Built relationships with 40+ active Australian VCs and angel investors. This gives our students real insight into what different funds actually prioritise.
2025
Next Chapter
Launching advanced programs for Series A+ rounds and expanding our network across Southeast Asia. The fundamentals remain the same, but the stakes get higher.

Two Paths to Fundraising Knowledge

Most founders try learning fundraising on their own. Here's what we've observed about different approaches to mastering this crucial skill.

Professional meeting room with presentation setup and documents

Self-Taught Approach

  • YouTube videos and blog posts
  • Trial and error with real investors
  • Generic pitch deck templates
  • Learning from mistakes (expensive ones)
  • Limited access to investor feedback
Collaborative workspace with entrepreneurs working on laptops and documents

Structured Learning

  • Proven frameworks from successful raises
  • Practice sessions before real meetings
  • Industry-specific pitch strategies
  • Direct investor network access
  • Peer learning from other founders

What Makes Our Programs Different

Real Investor Relationships

We don't just teach theory. Our network includes partners from Blackbird, AirTree, and dozens of active angel investors who regularly share what they're actually looking for right now.

Industry-Specific Frameworks

A SaaS startup's fundraising story differs completely from a hardware company's. We've developed separate approaches for different sectors based on what actually works in each space.

Practice Before Pressure

Every founder gets multiple practice sessions with experienced entrepreneurs and angel investors before their real fundraising meetings. No learning expensive lessons in front of actual targets.

Post-Program Support

The relationship doesn't end after the course. We provide ongoing guidance during active fundraising processes, including intro facilitation and negotiation support when deals progress.
