Fulcrum Venture Accelerator

We live in a world where 95% of startup founders who set out to raise capital, fail for one reason or another. After raising multiple rounds of financing, we realized that instead of the disorganized approach that most founders take, we could help founders execute a systematic approach to raising capital. Our 5 step process for raising seed capital - Tilling, Planting, Watering, Harvesting, & Closing has helped founders close more than $20M in seed capital. Running out of money is the #1 reason startups fail. We've seen many good companies fail because the founder wasn't able to raise seed funding. Many founders go about the fundraising process in a disorganized and scattered way, or worse they don't follow a process at all, and they end up wasting a huge amount of time and come up empty handed. Of course this isn't their fault, because nobody has been teaching founders a proven process to raise seed funding, and walking them through the steps until now. Fulcrum was created in 2020 to solve this problem. We are a fundraising accelerator for mission-driven entrepreneurs. Every quarter we look for the best companies with a positive social mission, and put them through a rigorous process of fundraising development to help them execute on their raise. Founders can delegate marketing, product, finance, customer support, operations, manufacturing, and design, but they can't delegate fundraising.
