Helping
early-stage
founders raise
capital.
I work with startup founders on fundraising strategy, investor positioning, and cap table discipline — without hype, shortcuts, or wishful thinking.

gets messy
fast.
Not because founders are lazy or unprepared — but because most people approach fundraising without structure, context, or an investor-level view.
I help founders:
- Understand what round they should actually be raising
- Tell a clear, credible story investors can evaluate quickly
- Avoid bad equity decisions that feel fine now and hurt later
- Think like long-term builders, not pitch-deck performers
Former founder.
Real operator.
I'm Filip Kollert — I co-founded and scaled a startup called Swipelux, where I spent years raising capital, selling to real customers, building teams, and learning the hard parts of startup life firsthand.
I'm not an advisor who discovered startups from X threads. I've been inside the pressure cooker.
Took a startup from MVP through scaling and exit. I now focus on helping other founders fundraise with fewer blind spots.
