G’day!

We are a small but mighty team.

With decades of experience as founders, consultants, advisors and community builders, across startups, scale-ups and leading global brands.

We're on a mission to accelerate kickass companies fixing the planet.

Where it began.

In 2019, after nearly two decades living and working in a beautiful part of northern Mozambique, we stood on the precipice of devastation. Cyclone Kenneth, with its raw, inconceivable power, tore through communities that had contributed the least to creating the climate crisis.

That moment was a turning point. Witnessing the inequity of the climate emergency firsthand, we became united in a belief: we had to do something.

Determined to break down barriers and accelerate the solutions the planet desperately needs, we built Raaise.

Built by founders who understand the grind of capital raising.

Raaise is the platform we wish existed—smart, efficient, and focused on saving founders time.

As your fundraising copilot, Raaise empowers you to efficiently discover, connect, and engage the investors who matter most while streamlining every step of your raise. No commissions, no gatekeepers—just seamless, stress-free fundraising.

Ready to make fundraising simpler? Welcome to Raaise.
