Dealmaking Bootcamp: Learn To Spot Opportunities & Raise Money From Big Investors

Learn how to broker lucrative deals by being commercial, knowing the right people and maximising chances of closing a transaction.

A course on dealmaking and capital raising, which aims to enable anyone with a basic knowledge of business to help a company (client) raise money from a variety of investors, including private equity firms, hedge funds, sovereign wealth funds, family offices, asset managers, pension funds, etc.

By learning the rules of dealmaking and how to market opportunities to investors, you'll be on your way to help clients raise money. You'll know which investors to target and you'll do your own deals.

Things to keep in mind

• #1 Most people are exposed to dealmaking opportunities in their day to day life. Yet they're unaware of it. This course will teach you how to spot them. Faster. More effectively.
• #2 You don't need to have worked at Goldman Sachs, Lazard, Barclays, JP Morgan or the like to orchestrate deals, meet big investors, be flown all over the world and raise capital. You'll learn how to do it starting from scratch. It will take time and hard work. But you'll have the tools to broker lucrative deals.
• #3 The difference between you and the male / female dealmakers I know who are negotiating deals on their own and making a lot money in the process comes down to having a) the right mindset and b) knowledge of dealmaking. By following the methods in this course you'll gain life-long skills that will enable you to make significantly more money throughout your life. And you'll gain priceless experience you'll otherwise only read about in the financial papers, entrepreneurship magazines and the like.
• #4 The best part about the teachings is that you can get started doing deals right away. What's more, you can do it on the side, until you get the hang of it and decide you'd like to devote more time to dealmaking. The techniques you'll learn can be applied on a part-time or full-time basis.

Focus on relationship building

One of the chief aims of this course will be to help you build relationships with powerful organisations and individuals. Often, a deal getting done comes down to the relationship you have with a particular party, e.g. an investor. You'll be given instructions on how to initiate a dialogue with Sovereign Wealth Funds, Family Offices, Asset Managers, high net worth individuals and more. Hopefully with time those outreaches will eventually lead to you building positive relationships with those investors.
