A masterclass in persuasion, performance, and psychology, The Tao of Fundraising reveals how to navigate the invisible forces of human nature and capital flow to transform great ideas into fully funded ventures.

The Tao of Fundraising seeks to fill that void.

Once one of Silicon Valley's greatest success stories, for the past five years, Facebook has been under constant fire, roiled by controversies and crises. It turns out that while the tech giant was connecting the world, they were also mishandling users' data, allowing the spread of fake news and the amplification of dangerous, polarising hate speech. Critics framed the narrative as the irreconcilable conflict between the platform's lofty mission to advance society by bringing people together while also profiting off of them.
