Technical founders — raising capital isn’t just data and diagrams. It’s a crafted story, a repeatable GTM, and the discipline to prove PMF. That’s where Michael Nathan comes in.
Michael helps engineers-turned-founders translate deep technical value into investor-ready narratives, build go-to-market engines that scale, and architect Business· Corporate · Ecosystem (BCE) strategies that unlock partnerships and distribution. Think less spreadsheet, more strategy.
A few things Michael focuses on:
🎯Storytelling for capital raises: shape the narrative investors remember — problem, traction, defensibility, and the founder’s path.
🎯GTM that converts: align product, pricing, and channels so early experiments scale into revenue engines.
🎯 PMF through disciplined learning: design fast, measurable tests to know when to double down or pivot.
🎯 BCE development: create partnerships, corporate motion, and ecosystem plays that amplify growth — not just customers, but leverage.If you like metaphors: winemaking. You can’t rush great wine — you cultivate the vineyard, test small batches, refine the blend, and then scale with partners who believe in the vintage.
The same patience, rigor, and craft apply to building startups that raise meaningful rounds. Founders ready to stop pitching and start persuading — connect with Michael Nathan.
