The Art of Raising Capital

Jesse Henry is a serial entrepreneur that works with companies to help them raise the capital they need in order to thrive. As a child Jesse had a stutter which he overcame by participating in stage acting for 10+ years.  During college Jesse started 2 companies and gave a TEDx Talk which created the stepping stones for a prosperous career.  

After graduation, Jesse went on to become a peak performance strategist for Tony Robbins.  During his time with Tony, he consulted with Fortune 500 companies and performed corporate trainings for their employees.  He has worked with thought leaders from all over the world to develop presentations and pitches to give to investors and audiences alike. 

Jesse’s spent years studying topics like stage presence, influence, and persuasion.  He has learned just as much from the terrible speakers as he has from the great ones. He frequently works with experts who know their topic, but have a hard time communicating their ideologies in an engaging, and emotionally stimulating presentation.  

Jesse has documented his experiences and constructive criticisms so that he can teach entrepreneurs how to gain influence, and build investable opportunities. Jesse had to learn many of these lessons the hard way, and he’s excited to share his insights with fellow entrepreneurs. He’s extremely passionate about providing entrepreneurs with the resources necessary to thrive in a global economy.
