Hello everyone! I'm Mike Spidaliere, a mentor for Gildre. I'm a four-time founder currently working on my newest venture, First Time Founder Capital.

First Time Founder Capital (FTFC) is a go-to-fundraising consulting firm that helps startups raise capital efficiently and effectively. FTFC specializes in helping first-time founders close their funding rounds by building a strong foundation and messaging direction, based on a proven process. FTFC offers tailored strategies, hands-on support, and curated access to investors to ensure that each client reaches their goals and secures the funding they need to thrive.

Alongside helping founders prepare for their raise, I've been building a network of active investors (over 200), diving into what their ideal investments look like, then sending along curated, strategic deal flow (ie clients of mine).
