The right investors.
The investors who actually invest at your stage, in your sector and in your country, a warm route to them, and a deck and model that survive the first hard question.

Why raises stall.
The wrong list
Hundreds of funds that never invest at your stage, in your sector or in your country
Cold and ignored
Mass emails nobody opens · no follow-up · no way to see who is actually interested
A deck that does not land
Twenty slides that answer questions nobody asked · a model that breaks when pushed
The wrong amount
Too little to reach the next milestone · too much for the valuation the numbers support
What Jamie does.
- The list
- Angels, funds, family offices and lenders matched to your stage, sector and country, with the reason each one fits.
- Warm introductions
- Where there is a real fit, an introduction from someone they already know. Introductions put two people in touch; any investment is agreed between you.
- Deck and model
- Reviewed slide by slide and cell by cell until they answer the questions investors ask, in the order they ask them.
- Outreach that works
- A thirty-minutes-a-day routine, the messages, the follow-up and the pipeline, so the raise keeps moving after the work ends.
- How it starts
- Run Your Own Round, Jamie's method in a folder for ChatGPT or Claude, is £20. Rather have Jamie beside you until the round closes? Start a conversation. Jamie takes no success fee, commission or equity and never handles investors' money.
Built it. Lost it.
Built it again.
I've raised venture capital for my own companies and £130M alongside founders across more than 150 funding rounds, and advised over 350 business owners. I started in my family's restaurant at ten.
In 2018 I lost a business. I moved my family to Spain and rebuilt from nothing. The people I work with get someone who has made the expensive mistakes already.
The record.

What people said.
Word for word. Some names left out: discretion is part of the work.
“Working with Jamie changed our whole trajectory and growth.”
“I worked with Jamie on our funding round. Excellent results.”
“This has been a brilliant service, we fixed some fundamental problems with the narrative and the output was fantastic. Highly recommend working with Jamie.”
“I chose to partner with [Jamie's team] as they have a proven track record in ensuring that those who commence or complete fundraising actually achieve it.”
“Jamie, you don't talk about your services ever, they are really great, and can help lots of people.”
“The best pitch deck I've ever seen.”
Questions founders ask.
How do I find investors for my business?
Start with who invests at your stage and in your sector: for a first round that is usually angels, small funds and, in Spain, ENISA loans and equity crowdfunding. Build a short list, find the warm route to each, and run outreach as a daily routine rather than a one-off blast. Run Your Own Round walks you through exactly this.
How do I find angel investors?
Through founders they have already backed, angel networks, accelerators and events in your sector. Angels invest in people they can reach, so the introduction matters more than the deck. In Spain, resident angels can deduct up to 50% of a qualifying investment from income tax, which is worth putting in front of them.
Do you invest or take equity?
No. Jamie is paid a fixed fee, takes no equity, commission or success fee, and does not handle money between you and investors.
What do investors want to see?
A clear problem and proof customers want the answer, a team that can deliver, honest assumptions in the model, a defined use of funds and a valuation you can defend. For pre-seed, the team and early traction carry most of the weight.
Where are you based?
Palma de Mallorca, working with founders across Spain, the UK and Europe by video. Working days in Mallorca by arrangement.
