What the founder said
Before meeting Jason and the Thunder team, our company was preparing to raise a seed extension round, and we were feeling uncertain about navigating the fundraising process effectively. We engaged with Jason through an accelerator program, and from the very beginning, he was incredibly helpful. Jason assisted us in fine-tuning our pitch deck, ensuring that our story was compelling and our metrics were clearly communicated. He helped us establish a consistent cadence for investor updates, which was instrumental in keeping potential investors engaged. Moreover, he put together a comprehensive contact list of investors we should reach out to, significantly expanding our network. Throughout the process, Jason made everything run smoothly and professionally. He coached me on presentation skills and prepared me for the questions investors might ask, which greatly boosted my confidence. His expertise and personalized approach exceeded our expectations. Working with Jason and the Thunder team not only helped us successfully raise our seed extension round but also equipped us with valuable skills for future fundraising efforts. If you're a founder considering taking the next step but feeling unsure, I highly recommend working with Thunder. Their support can make a significant difference in your fundraising journey.
What the founder said
Thunder was my secret weapon while fundraising. They supported me with key analysis to help close my debt financing. They gave great guidance on fundraising and created professional materials for my board and stakeholders. The team go above and beyond and deliver on what they say they are going to do. A very rare breed and a rare find. We will be working with them for the sale of our company without a doubt!
What the founder said
Coming out of our raise I am more indebted to Jason & his team for all of their advice, guidance, and leaderships than anyone else. That's a big achievement given our scale.
What the founder said
I'm incredibly grateful for Jason. I knew I needed growth capital, but I had no idea how to get it. Jason made it so easy. His team handled all the document prep required, connected us to several lenders and secured us the absolute lowest cost of capital from a Tier 1 bank. And he did it all on time before our peak season ramp up. I plan to use Thunder for all our capital needs in the future
What the founder said
Jason has been like fairy dust for me. It has been great putting together a pitch deck and seeing investors respond to it so positively. Dealing with Thunder has made me so much more optimistic about my business.
What the founder said
It’s rare that you come across a standout personality like Jason. I had the pleasure of working with Jason while scaling our company, Elude. As a first time startup founder, fundraising and working with investors is apart of the job. I wish everyone of our investors was as helpful and direct as Jason! Jason's responsiveness & willingness to help allowed us to close our pre-seed and seed stage investments quickly. He also provided invaluable advice on ways to build the business and stand out. Outside of the investment, he continues to go above and beyond and has assisted with multiple network introductions and additional investor connections. We're thrilled to have Jason apart of the team and strongly recommend founders to work with him! We're happy to have someone so diligent on our side :)
