The fundraising talk your founders actually need to hear.
Jason Yeh has sat on both sides of the table — as a VC who evaluated 1,000+ pitches, and as a coach who’s helped founders raise $457M+. He brings that rare dual perspective to every stage.
Has spoken at & worked with
“I’ve seen what separates founders who close from those who keep getting told ‘not right now.’”

Jason Yeh is the founder of Adamant, a fundraising coaching platform built on one belief: most founders fail to raise not because their ideas are bad, but because they don’t understand how the game is played.
Before Adamant, Jason spent years as a venture capitalist — sitting across the table from hundreds of founders, seeing what worked, what didn’t, and what nobody was willing to say out loud. He left to tell that story.
Today, he brings that rare dual perspective to stages around the world: the unfiltered truth about investor psychology, what VCs actually look for, and the tactical process that turns promising founders into fundable ones.
His talks are equal parts framework and war story — grounded in real rounds, real numbers, and lessons that founders can apply the next morning.

The Fundraising
Operating System
Most founders treat fundraising like networking. Jason reframes it as a disciplined sales process — with defined stages, known failure modes, and a playbook for running it right.
What VCs Actually
Think of Your Pitch
From 1,000+ pitches reviewed as a VC, Jason exposes the signals investors look for, the red flags founders unknowingly send, and the simple shifts that change how a room responds.
Investor Psychology:
How VCs Really Decide
VCs say they back great founders with big markets. Jason reveals the real mental models, pattern matching, and emotional triggers behind investment decisions — and how to use them.
The Narrative
That Raises Money
Why some founders get instant meetings while others are ignored despite better businesses. Jason breaks down fundraising storytelling, positioning, and what makes an ask impossible to refuse.
Building the
Perfect Investor List
The most underrated part of any fundraise. Jason walks through the research, targeting, and warm intro strategy that gets founders in front of the right investors — not just any investors.
Fundraising Before
You Need It
The fastest fundraisers start months before they open a round. Jason shares the habits, relationships, and signals that build real momentum long before a founder makes their first ask.
