Get funded with FN’s Network, Coaching & Fund

Investor Access founders network

At FN, we believe successful fundraising starts with two things: education and real relationships. Our program isn't a pitch sprint—it's a path to becoming investor-ready through skill-building and trust-building over time.

Join a vetted community of 250+ active investors—from angel syndicates to top-tier funds. Gain warm double opt-in introductions, sharpen your pitch through weekly coaching and investor feedback, and build deeper relationships at the Scale Plan Roundtable facilitated by FN Fund GP Kevin Holmes and fnIRL Conference featuring 100+ funds and experienced peers.

FN is invite-only. Start the process to find out if you qualify for membership.

Investor Pitch Coaching & Practice

Investor Pitch Coaching & Practice founders network
Pitching is a skill you can develop—just like product, hiring, or sales—and the best way to learn is by practicing with real investors who give you direct feedback.

At FN, we give founders a structured, repeatable way to practice and improve how they communicate with investors—with feedback directly from investors themselves. Our coaching and practice model helps you build clarity, confidence, and trust over time—so you're not just pitching, you're building conviction.

  • Meet 1:1 with a pitch coach to refine your story and messaging.
  • Present live to investors and receive unfiltered, actionable feedback from real funders.
  • Debrief with a coach to iterate and improve each time you pitch.

Fundraising Roundtable: Peer Mentorship & Real-Time Collaboration

Our monthly roundtable is the heart of FN’s peer mentorship model—where founders learn from each other, share real experiences, and build meaningful momentum together.
  • Monthly sessions facilitated by Kevin Holmes, GP of FN Fund.
  • Founders drive the agenda and support each other through experience-sharing and collaboration.
  • Common topics include fundraising, customer development, hiring, accountability, and founder encouragement.
