Investable Entrepreneur fills this crucial and much-neglected gap for founders and provides a playbook for them to follow.

If you are somewhere between concept and Series A on your journey and considering or undertaking fundraising, I recommend you stop what you're doing and read this book before you do anything else, to give yourself the best possible chance at success!'

'James has written an insightful guide to raising investment for founders of startups who are embarking on their fundraising journey. Being able to successfully and efficiently raise the capital you need is an essential part of the scale-up journey. However, it is often undertaken with a lack of awareness and preparation by the founder and the result is that less than 1% of all fundraises are successful.

Investable Entrepreneur is an invaluable source of guidance and tips that will enable you to develop and execute a plan that gives you the best possible chances of success. It is also an easy and enjoyable read that benefits from the hundreds of interviews and meetings James has had with investors and founders.
