"Expara gave us a startup bootcamp, teaching us how to succeed in the VC world of raising money. Douglas is an excellent teacher and seasoned VC. His class involves no nonsense or buzzwords, just straightforward fact and practical theory. Each session we attended was super useful in our own fundraising journey. In fact, we raised a round ourselves thanks to the education we received from Douglas."

"A very helpful and supportive environment to learn about the startup world and grow. Unlike other accelerator programs and entrepreneurship courses, we learn real term sheet clauses and conditions that are the most useful to an actual startup. Most other courses/programs focused only on making the pitch or business model canvas and what to “show”. With the detailed financial model analysis and several classes explaining the formulae and terms, actually teaches how we get the stuff that we need to show in the first place."

by Norapat Phaonimmongkol, Co-Founder
"Although Eden went to many other accelerator or incubator programs before, but we never found ones who gave us golden tips like Doug and his team of experts. Their comments were direct and straight to the key point, which helped improving our current market and fund raising strategy to the next level. Truly honored to join and learn a lot from them."

"In my opinion, the biggest differentiator to many startup-focused trainings is Expara’s strong focus on fundraising. With his vast experience as a Venture Capitalist, Douglas makes you understand how this very special industry works, how VCs tick and what is important for you as a startup to consider. He is able to cover it from A to Z and exemplifies the learnings with real life examples."

"We just finished the online VirTech Global Accelerator program for startups run by Douglas and the great team at Expara. Thank you for a truly unique and wonderful experience! The format of online lessons with people from startups from around the world worked extremely well. I really appreciate how Douglas focused on the most relevant and practical material needed for early-stage startups seeking funding, as well as the hands-on experience we received building a business plan and pitching to investors. I feel that we got some invaluable insight (the inside ""scoop"") into the thought process and motivations of VC firms, which helped us become much more prepared regarding who to approach for funding, as well as how to do it. All in all, I highly recommend Expara's program for any early-stage startup. We are much better equipped for the road ahead!"
