The Energetics of Fundraising

The Energetics of Fundraising

Human beings are animals, and we've evolved over thousands of years to communicate non-verbally through the subtle energetics exchanged between our bodies - "the conversation under the conversation." This workshop will bring this unconscious communication into your conscious awareness, and you’ll learn how to tune into an embodied awareness of your own physiological state and that of others to successfully fundraise.

Learn how to:

1. Manage your anxiety
2. Communicate from a place of strength
3. Close investors faster

This is a workshop for founders who want to become excellent at fundraising. Luna blends her experience as a successful YCombinator-backed founder serving edge-of-culture communities with the lessons she learned from those communities along the way, including the BDSM sub-culture, meditation and somatic wisdom, and traditional Amazonian spiritual practices. You won't just learn and practice YC's perspective on how to lead a successful fundraise; you'll learn the nuance of how your own energetics communicate and create the eventual outcome of your raise. Your physiological state lies beneath your words and actions; when your core beliefs and energetics align with your words, success becomes inevitable.
