Capital raising is a complex skill that takes time to master, often giving investors the upper hand and leaving many great startups unfunded. We’re here to change that: we teach you the investor language, provide a qualified investor pipeline, and help you build a network of aligned investors who share your vision.
Charlotte Ketelaar knows exactly what it takes to secure capital. With over $400M raised for founders, she’s dedicated her career to helping startups navigate the challenging path to securing capital. Time and again, she saw visionary founders struggle — not because their ideas lacked potential, but because the fundraising process was broken: inefficient, overwhelming, and needlessly complex for first-time founders.
Charlotte knew she couldn’t personally help every founder, but she wasn’t willing to let great ideas fall through the cracks. That’s why she joined forces with AI innovator Kinjal Mehta to create Capwave: a cutting-edge platform built to democratize capital raising.
Capwave combines their decades of fundraising and AI expertise to make fundraising smarter and accessible. Their mission is simple yet powerful: to help founders craft winning pitches, connect with the right investors, and fundraise with confidence. Because when founders have the tools they need to succeed, big ideas have the chance to change the world.
We’re a small but powerful team of seasoned investors, entrepreneurs, operators, and technologists.
From wall street to silicon valley, Charlotte's journey has been fueled by one mission: empowering startups to thrive. With a keen eye for potential and a track record of success at ZWANET, she's now leveraging 15+ years of VC insights to revolutionize early-stage funding.
From corporate tech leadership to pioneering AI-driven solutions, Kinjal's 20+ years of experience makes him the mastermind behind our platform. With a blend of technical prowess and startup mentorship, he fuels innovation and accelerates growth for startups.
