B2B sales fundamentals for VC professionals

As a VC, you are backing sales-led growth. Without firsthand sales experience, it is hard to judge whether a founder's go-to-market plan is working. This program gives you the language, frameworks and insight to evaluate B2B sales readiness and guide founders effectively.

What we cover

The founder curriculum, from the investor's seat

  1. First call excellence

    Understand what a great first meeting looks like from a founder: how they build trust, set the right tone, and frame the sales process. Spot early signs of confidence, clarity or confusion.

  2. Discovery is king

    Learn what effective discovery means: the quality of questions, the ability to surface real pain, and whether a founder can create urgency without interrogating prospects.

  3. Mastering the demo

    Go beyond product walkthroughs. Understand how strong demos connect to customer pain points, and why many early demos fall flat.

  4. Building a winning pitch

    See how strong founders translate discovery into a compelling pitch. Learn to evaluate whether it aligns with buyer needs and differentiates the product.

  5. Deliver a winning proposal

    Break down what makes a strong proposal: clear structure, value alignment and tailored language. Help founders avoid generic or pricing-only proposals.

  6. Building your pipeline

    Understand how founders approach outbound, warm intros and conferences, and learn to assess whether their pipeline strategy matches their goals.

“The program exceeded my expectations. It was hands-on, practical, and full of insights I now use regularly in conversations with founders.”

As an early stage investor, and a true believer in founder led sales, I joined Raz's Sales Program to deepen my understanding of the B2B sales process, help clear the news to assess product market fit during DD and work with our portfolio founders with practical support. I walked away with a clearer picture of what great sales execution looks like at early-stage startups.
