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 what it takes to raise capital. She has helped founders secure over $400M and has dedicated her career to fixing the broken fundraising process. Too many great ideas stall out, not because they lack potential, but because raising capital is confusing, inefficient, and favors the well-connected.
Charlotte knew she couldn't transform fundraising alone. That's why she partnered with Reid Williams, a veteran, entrepreneur and accomplished second-time technical founder who has lived the founder's journey end-to-end. Reid raised millions, steered his previous company to a successful nine-figure exit, and built products that don't just launch - they lead markets. His hands-on experience and knack for creative solutions that truly resonate with users make him the perfect force to tackle fundraising's toughest challenges alongside Charlotte.
Together, they built Capwave to make raising capital smarter and fairer for early-stage startups. Capwave combines proven fundraising expertise with technical innovation founders can trust. The mission is simple: help founders craft better pitches, match with the right investors, and raise with confidence. When more founders get funded, more ideas get 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.
Entrepreneur, Technologist, Leader - Reid brings a proven track record of raising millions and achieving a nine-figure exit. His hands-on experience as a founder and product visionary drives innovative solutions that empower startups for success.
