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 closed our round. From the $1.2M we set out to raise, we raised $1.4M. I wanted to thank Jason for all his support during this process.”
The only coach who’s been on both sides.
“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.
Watch the reel.

Keynote · 30–45 minFrom the founders & organisers who’ve seen it.
“Before working with Jason I struggled to explain our vision clearly. He helped me find our narrative — and we went on to raise our seed round.”
“Jason’s dual perspective as a former VC and founder coach is genuinely rare. He knows exactly what’s going on in an investor’s head.”
“Working with Jason was a game changer. He helped us think about fundraising the right way — like a process, not a prayer.”
“Jason doesn’t just give you frameworks — he gives you the confidence to actually use them. Our founders left completely transformed.”
“Jason gave our cohort the frameworks they needed. Founders were still asking questions 45 minutes after he finished.”
“Jason helped me see fundraising completely differently. Instead of dreading investor conversations, I started leading them. We closed our round in 6 weeks.”
