Founder, Pre Sold Investors
Alejandro
I didn't start in capital markets. I started in marketing. And that's exactly why what I built works.
When COVID hit, my event business was wiped out overnight. A friend with a biotech startup asked me to help him raise capital. I didn't even know how to spell "raise capital." But I knew marketing, I knew people, and I knew how to fill a room.
The first month, we spent $10,000 on advertising. The result? Zero qualified leads. Zero dollars raised. Complete failure.
I didn't quit. I treated it like a puzzle — one I was determined to solve. Over the next 12 months, I cracked the code. That same biotech company went on to raise $32 million.
"The operators who raise the most capital are the ones who talk to the most qualified investors. Everything we do is built around that truth."
Since then, the companies and operators I've worked with have collectively raised over $100 million in capital — and I've been behind the scenes generating the investor flow that made those rooms possible.
Pre Sold Investors was built around one insight I kept proving true: the hardest part of capital raising isn't closing — it's getting the right people in the room. So I built a system that does exactly that. We fill capital presentation events with 20–25 pre-qualified, verified accredited investors in 21 days. Guaranteed.
We've run investor dinner campaigns and capital events in Miami, Dallas, Nashville, Las Vegas, Houston, Boca Raton, Orange County, La Jolla, Walnut Creek, Plano, and we're expanding every month.
I'm not a fund manager. I don't want to operate businesses or manage investor relations long-term. My zone of genius is filling rooms with the right people and getting them pre-sold before the operator ever walks in.
I'd rather make money with serious operators than compete against them. And frankly, there's more satisfaction in watching a great operator walk out of a room with committed capital than there is in doing one deal myself.
Pickleball
I'm obsessed with pickleball — competitive, fast, addictive. I'm actually building a pickleball company on the side. If you want to talk business, let's do it on the court.
Golf
Golf is where my best thinking happens. There's something about 18 holes that forces you to slow down, stay present, and see the long game — both on and off the course.
Traveling with Family
My family is my why. We travel as much as we can — new places, new experiences, new perspectives. Building a business that funds adventures with the people you love is the whole point.
Always Building
Pre Sold Investors isn't the only thing I'm working on. I'm a builder by nature — always looking for the next problem worth solving, the next room worth filling, the next opportunity worth creating.
