“No idea how you made fundraising not suck, but somehow you did. Thanks for everything, seriously.”
– Founder who raised their first round: $600K pre-seed

Our Mission

Supporting sports tech founders in the earliest stages, before the VCs, before the headlines — when it actually matters.​

Our Story

After exiting my last company in 2021, I launched Gate34 to do what most early-stage fundraising advisors couldn’t: actually help founders raise. I work hands-on with early-stage sports tech founders to fix what most first-time founders get wrong, the story, the deck, the numbers, the outreach. More often than not, I also invest in the companies I support. But 9 out of 10 times, they don’t just need capital. They need clarity, guidance, execution, and support. Since then, I’ve helped founders look ready from day one, get more meetings, and raise more money faster with better valuations. No fluff, no BS. Just plan and execution that gets results.

Fundraising is hard.
We make it work.
