We open the cohort — every founder in one room.

You meet the others. Same path, different journeys.

We kick it off with intros, then everyone heads off.

We sit you with our advisor bench.

They hear your context and shape your strategy.

You walk out with a one-pager and a clear next move.

We translate the plan into the team you need.

We match you with operators, leads, and residents.

Onboarded fast. Ready to execute.

We open doors across the network.

Customer intros, investor warm-ups, partner conversations.

Specific asks. Named intros. Open doors.

We give you the room to build, ship, and measure.

Metrics climb. The team sees progress in real time.

Each week ends with a pitch rehearsal in front of your bench.

You pitch live to the Tapped In Capital syndicate.

Over the next two weeks, investors listen, ask, decide.

If they back you, we open an SPV — anchors lead, others follow.

$100K+ wired in 7 days, with help filling the rest of your round.

Phase deliverables

What you ship inside the program.

01

Investor-grade pitch deck

Defensible, narrative-tight, sized for a 12-minute room.

02

Defensible financial model

Numbers that withstand follow-up questions, not just spreadsheet ornament.

03

Executable GTM plan

A plan you can ship on Monday, not a deck section.

04

Booked investor meetings

Real calendar slots with real LPs in the syndicate.

Month 6

Investor Pitch

Competition

Qualified founders pitch the Tapped In Capital syndicate. Two tracks at Demo Day, founder picks.

Track 01 · Priced rounds (pre-seed, seed)

Equity Syndicate

$100K – $5M

Tapped In Capital leads via SPV on Sydecar — one line on your cap table. Investors pool capital into a single Delaware LLC for your raise.

Track 02 · Revenue-generating businesses

Revenue Share Agreement

$10K – $100K

Direct bilateral RSA. No equity given up, no debt, no interest. Investor gets paid back from a small cut of monthly revenue until the cap is hit.

Compared to alternatives

Same model. Less drag. Curated capital.
