"The Valhalla Entrepreneurs BaseCamp provides invaluable information from seasoned entrepreneurs who have become investors. They provide an investor lens to help us formulate a killer pitch; and stats-driven feedback to manage our own expectations around fundraising and dilution. I recommend this to any start-up at any stage of their journey, and wish I'd taken this a year ago."

What Past Attendees Are Saying!
"If you're pursuing entrepreneurship, you already know how many hats you have to wear. Moreover, sometimes you don't know that you don't know something. In my case, I had no knowledge of how raising money worked and frankly was terribly unprepared for my upcoming pitch. I learned that if you're a boring and shitty person, that's a no-go off the bat. So I got to harness and leverage my story to drive passion into my business, while learning how to evaluate my company. Equity is valuable now and I only want people joining the team who see the vision. Don't underestimate the value of a 48 hour course. Basecamp is epic."
- George Visan, Founder of Sprout
"BaseCamp was an amazing investment for me to make as I was right in the middle of raising our first seed round. With all the guidance from the Valhalla Team I can say with confidence they helped me retain more equity in my company while we were raising capital with a deal structure that made everyone happy."
— Derek Rucki, Founder of TLink Golf Inc
