Fundraising for Non-Technical Founders
Raise your first round without pretending to be someone you're not.
A pre-recorded workshop and template pack that gives you the system to pitch, raise, and manage investors as a non-technical founder — built from raising $1 million myself.
Most fundraising advice wasn't built for you
Most fundraising content is written by VCs, for technical founders, assuming you already speak the language: cap tables, term sheets, ARR, technical due diligence.
You don't need to become fluent in all of it.
You need to walk into an investor conversation and be taken seriously as a non-technical founder building something real — and know exactly what to say when they ask the questions technical founders don't get asked.
That's what this course gives you.
What you'll learn
By the end, you'll have a framework you can use for this raise and every one after it — including how to manage investor relationships once the money's in the bank.
Everything you get when you enrol
The workshop
A full recorded session, watch on your own time, lifetime access — go back to it every time you're prepping a pitch.
The investor update template
This is the tool that actually moved the needle for me — I've had people invest who I didn't even know were interested, purely because they were on the receiving end of a well-run monthly update. Most founders either skip this entirely or send something scrappy. This template alone is worth more than triple what you're paying for the whole course.
Curated book & podcast list
Built specifically for non-technical founders, not the standard VC reading list.
Idea-to-live-app guide
How to go from where you are now to a live product investors can actually evaluate.

Who this is for
- Non-technical founders preparing for their first raise, or a first raise that's gone quieter than you'd like
- Founders with a working product or prototype who need investors to take their technical judgement seriously
- Anyone tired of pitch advice that assumes you have a CTO co-founder sitting next to you
This isn't for you if you're looking for a live, interactive session with group Q&A — this is a recorded workshop you work through at your own pace.
If you want live feedback on your specific pitch, that's a different conversation — get in touch.
Founders and investors on working with Sophia
I attended Tech for Non-Technical Founders and it helped me understand all the aspects involved in developing an app, and helped me get investment to build my first prototype. Sophia explained everything in a very clear and simple way. I couldn't recommend this course highly enough.

As an angel investor in technology, I find Sophia's insights and advice very useful, as well as time-saving, helping filter the relevant aspects. Thank you!

No live schedule to work around — watch it before your next pitch, and again before the one after that.
