Creative fundraising strategies that actually work
Raising money for a business can be a full-time job. It can be a long, stressful, and time-consuming process that may not even yield any results. And until you raise the funds you need, your ideas will remain on hold and your business may continue to struggle. This Program can save you time and stress by showing you a range of options for raising money for your business, and teach you proven strategies that can significantly improve your chances of raising the funds you need to start, grow or expand that business.

“On behalf of all African entrepreneurs, I specifically want to thank you for the time and efforts you have put towards writing this unique book (Jackpot).

Meet The Host
Hi there,
I'm John-Paul Iwuoha, and I'll be your host during this Fundraising Masterclass Program for Entrepreneurs.
For over a decade, I have worked with dozens of entrepreneurs to attract small and large amounts of funding to start, grow, expand, or turn around their businesses. To date, my students and clients have raised more than $5 million in equity investments, business loans, grants, and prize money.
I have quite a diverse and interesting professional background. I am a chartered certified accountant (ACCA, United Kingdom), with qualifications in finance, accounting, and mechanical engineering.
I specialize in business strategy and transformation advisory. I started my career in the consulting practice of PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC), one of the top global business consulting firms. I also held roles in business development and management in the energy industry, and have advised dozens of clients in a wide range of industries, from tech and manufacturing to real estate, agribusiness, financial services, and several others.
With over 800,000 followers on LinkedIn, I was named a global Top Voice on Startups and Entrepreneurship by LinkedIn in 2018. My work, opinion pieces, and articles have been featured in several local and international media, including CNN, The Huffington Post, and LinkedIn Pulse.
I was a Judge for the 2022 & 2023 Africa Business Heroes ($1.5 Million) Prize (sponsored by Alibaba Philanthropy and the Jack Ma Foundation) and the 2023 AWIEF Awards, among others.
When I’m not working, I love to read non-fiction books, watch documentaries on YouTube and Netflix, or goof around with my kids.
I look forward to walking with you on this exciting journey as you make your next strategic moves to finally raise enough money to take your business dreams to the next level.
See you inside the Program!

About the Author
John-Paul Iwuoha
HOW TO RAISE MONEY FOR BUSINESS
“Before your book and courses, no financial institution accepted to fund my business despite all my endeavours. With advice I gathered from your online courses and the book you published (Jackpot), I opened a poultry farm, signed a funding partnership with ACEP, and a potential investment from a World Bank-sponsored animal development project.”
Stephen Atanga Wazeh

“Many thanks, John-Paul, for your hard work and persistence to deliver on supporting material for business entrepreneurs! I have bought your book (Jackpot) and have also shared the link with some people I believe are serious about running their own businesses. Your relentless work is truly playing a key role in shaping the economics of Africa for good.”
Joseph Mutamba

EXTRA 4
When Anne and her business partner, Will Broad, joined the Program in 2017, all they had was a brilliant but daunting business idea that could creatively solve the problem of low-cost housing in Africa, starting from their native country, Uganda.
But real estate can be a very capital-intensive business, and Anne was struggling to raise enough money to transform her bright idea into a real business. After joining the Program, they learned how to develop compelling proposals, target and pitch to potential investors, and close investment deals.
So far, through a combination of grants, equity and debt investments, Anne and her business partner have raised just over $660,000 for their business, Smart Havens Africa.
Since joining our Program, Anne and her business have been featured in several local and international media, including CNN and the BBC. And in 2019, Anne was a top finalist for the prestigious Africa Prize for Engineering Innovation in recognition of the impact and transformation of her work.
Anne Rweyora
“Our company recently closed a $660,000 funding round.”
“We have raised over $1 million in grants and financial assistance.”
Musa emigrated from the Gambia in 2001 and worked as a telecoms engineer in the United States for 17 years. But in all those years, he remained an entrepreneur at heart. He always nursed his dream of owning one of Africa’s biggest integrated rice farms.
But large-scale commercial agriculture is a capital-intensive business. Raising this kind of funding requires major financial and technical assistance from formal investors like international development organisations, private equity, and government funds.
Since joining our program, Musa’s business dream has transformed into Maruo Farms, one of the fastest-growing integrated rice farms in West Africa. He has raised over $1 million in grants, land development assistance, and equipment financing support from both private and government funds.
By following the strategies we teach in the Program, Musa was able to target strategic funding sources and technical partners that contributed significantly to the growth and expansion of his company.
“Our company received $1.1 million in equity and debt for growth and expansion”
When Valerie and her business partner, Faustin, joined our Program, their company – Connex Forestry – was a small company with promising growth potential in the Congo DRC. They had several great business growth ideas in the pipeline and a revolutionary approach to the forestry industry in Africa.
But growth and expansion for any business often require additional funding, and that was one key area Valerie and her partner were struggling.
After joining the Program, they learned how to structure their business for funding and were able to develop a compelling pitch and proposal for potential investors. So far, they have raised $1.1 million in a combination of debt and equity to grow and expand the footprint of the company beyond the DRC.

What you will get from this Program
Funding insights, inside secrets, proven strategies, tips, advice, and more…
Learn how investors will analyse your business before they invest
Many entrepreneurs suffer frustration, disappointment and rejection because they just don’t understand how investors and banks analyse a business before they make the decision to invest. This Program prepares you in advance by showing you how investors could analyse your business by looking at the 7 Critical Risks and the potential for return (ROI). By understanding these critical risks, you will be able to develop mitigation strategies that will impress potential investors.
Learn how to pitch, convince, negotiate, and close deals
Fundraising for business is all about selling. If you’re unable to confidently and persuasively sell yourself, your business, your ideas, your vision or strategy to potential investors, you will never get their money. This Program will show you how to deliver a perfect pitch and develop compelling proposals in both written and verbal forms that can be used in a wide range of scenarios. You will also learn how to close win-win deals that protect the interests of your business.
Where to find good investors and how to target them
Most people can’t raise money because they don’t know where to look, or they keep knocking on the wrong doors. Targeting the right sources of funding for your business is a key part of the fundraising process that many people take for granted or completely ignore. This Program will show you exactly how to identify and target the right funding sources for your type of business so you don’t waste your precious time and energy knocking on doors that will never open.
Practical advice, tips, and guidance to help you succeed
Mistakes can be costly, especially if you’re trying to raise money for a business. If you don't plan to learn the 'hard’ way, then this Program is definitely for you. It shows you what works, and what doesn't. There's no point learning from your own mistakes when you can learn from others'. This Program will help you understand the financial, technical and legal aspects of fundraising deals so you can avoid the costly mistakes and loopholes that could cause you major financial losses.
.Here's the first lesson. Watch!.
In this lesson, you will understand why many people struggle to raise money, and what you can do to improve your chances!

Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to the most important questions you have asked…
===
What exactly is this Program about?
The Fundraising Masterclass is an online training program that is targeted at entrepreneurs and business owners who need to raise additional capital, between $10,000 and $1 million (or more), to support the startup, growth, expansion, or turnaround of their businesses.
The Program will teach and expose you to creative fundraising strategies that actually work, and how to identify, target, pitch, and convince investors to give you money, among other powerful tips, strategies, and advice we have used to get results for our students.
The Program comprises a suite of very valuable resources that include: a comprehensive fundraising reference guide (Jackpot), pre-recorded course videos (The Masterclass), an Investor Catalog, an Investment Readiness Checklist, A Toolbox of templates and samples, access to an exclusive community of entrepreneurs, and a free, one-time 30-minute fundraising strategy consulting session (for lifetime members only).
===
Can I realistically raise money for my business and how long could it take?
Raising money for business is very different from winning the lottery. You can’t just raise any amount you wish for. Investors and banks will only give you money that you can reasonably justify for your business.
The amount of money you can raise also depends on several factors, such as your industry or type of business, the stage and size of your business/project, the kind of investors and funding sources you target, the attractiveness of your pitch and proposal, and your ability to persevere and follow up.
In terms of timelines, our successful students and clients typically raise money within several months, or sometimes, a few years. Most of them didn’t raise $1 million in one round, instead the amount of funding they raised accumulated over time.
===
Can you guarantee that I will raise money after joining this Program?
If you’re looking for guarantees, this Program is NOT for you. Fundraising is a game of merit; you (or someone you hire) have to do the work required to prepare, package, and promote your business for investment.
All our students who have raised between $10,000 and $1 million (and more) have one thing in common: they learned from the Program and followed through with action and persistence. That’s the only way to guarantee that you will get results after joining this Program.
You have to be ready to learn, take action on what you’ve learned, and persevere until you get results.
===
When does the Program start and finish?
The Fundraising Masterclass is a completely self-paced online program; you decide when you start and when you finish. All the resources, lesson videos, and materials are already available in the Members’ portal and you can start learning whenever you want, or learn as fast or as slow as you want.
Some of our students successfully raise money within several months, while others may take longer. But most of our students prefer to take their time and pace their learning so they can maximize the value they get from the Program.
===
How long do I have access to the Program?
Joining the Fundraising Masterclass comes with three options: Free Access (for 24 hours only), Monthly Access (Subscription), and Lifetime Access (One-time payment). You will have access to a variety of modules, lessons, tools, and materials in the Program.
You can also cancel your access whenever you want. All it takes is one click to unsubscribe and delete all your information.
===
What if I need help during the Program?
The Fundraising Masterclass is designed to be interactive, responsive, and practical. If you have any challenges or questions regarding any lesson or module in the Program, you can use the Comments section below that lesson and we will respond as soon as possible. You can also use our exclusive, members-only discussion forum to ask any questions you want about fundraising and get the advice and guidance you need.
===
Will you help me create my pitch and business plan, or introduce me to investors?
There are two ways we can help you: 1) as a student, or 2) as a client.
The Fundraising Masterclass is a DIY (Do-It-Yourself) program for students (people who want to learn and get results on their own). The program will teach and show you everything you need to raise funding, with samples, templates, profiles, contact information of potential investors, and opportunities to ask any questions you want and get advice and guidance. And it works superbly for most of our students who have successfully raised money on their own.
However, if you are interested in being a “client” and prefer a private, premium, and personalized service, we provide a DFY (Done-For-You) service that allows you to sit back and focus on running your business while we do most of the paperwork and investor introductions for you. This service starts at $25,000 (plus a success/deal completion fee).
If you are interested in our client DFY service, please contact the host or administrator as soon as you join the Fundraising Masterclass.

However, if you are interested in being a “client” and prefer a private, premium, and personalized service, we provide a DFY (Done-For-You) service that allows you to sit back and focus on running your business while we do most of the paperwork and investor introductions for you. This service starts at $25,000 (plus a success/deal completion fee).
If you are interested in our client DFY service, please contact the host or administrator as soon as you join the Fundraising Masterclass.

As you try to raise capital, you will encounter several situations that, if not handled professionally, can lead to serious troubles down the road. One common example is poorly-defined relationships with business partners, investors, consultants, and employees.
The Toolbox contains several important resources and sample documents that will help you become more professional as you close investment and partnership deals. It includes sample agreements you can quickly adapt and use, such as: a Partnership Agreement, a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), an Investor’s Term Sheet, a Shareholders’ agreement, a Confidentiality and Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA), among other important technical resources.
