HOW TO RAISE $500k FOR A STARTUP OR A PROJECTWITH NO PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE IN ASKING FOR MONEY

This presentation is based on how Patryk Wezowski raised $500k.

Patryk wanted to make a documentary. He failed to secure any investments and was becoming desperate for help. Without money he

couldn’t start the filming of his documentary.

Within 2 months of coaching with Noam Kostucki, he had raised over $500k to make his documentary. He was so amazed by his quick success

that he wrote this article to share his story: www.bit.ly/raising500k

This presentation builds on his story and gives guidance on how you can apply what Patryk did for your startup or project.
