Who Alejandro Cremades is

Alejandro Cremades is a serial entrepreneur, author, and startup advisor. He is the founder and CEO of StartupFundraising.com, an AI-powered platform that helps founders analyze their pitch decks, discover relevant investors, and manage the end-to-end fundraising process.

He wrote The Art of Startup Fundraising (Wiley), with a foreword by Barbara Corcoran, and contributes a long-running column at Forbes covering venture capital and startup fundraising.

Background as a founder

Previously, Alejandro founded Onevest — backed by 500 Startups, Cornerstone Angels, K5 Ventures, and others — one of the largest communities of founders and investors. He led Onevest through a successful acquisition.

That operating experience on both sides of the table shapes how fundraising is taught across this site: what investors actually read in a deck, how rounds are priced, and where founder processes break down between first meeting and wire.

Writing and media

The DealMakers interviews are the raw material behind much of the founder-story and funding-round research published in the StartupFundraising.com library.
