Private Equity Deal Hunter

Chris Graebe is a leading early stage investor and educator in the private deal funding space.

His specialty is finding red-hot, breakthrough companies and investing in them before venture capitalists get in.

Chris was an early investor in companies like ThisWayGlobal, an artificial intelligence firm with breakthrough technology that landed them lucrative partnerships with none other than Google and IBM.

He invested alongside Mark Cuban in Beat Box, a beverage company that’s grown like wildfire.

Chris also got into an early stage deal for MC Squares, BEFORE it was featured on “Shark Tank” and before they received an investment from billionaire Kevin O’Leary.

He’s put his money in 30+ private companies. These were startups valued at just a few million dollars when he first invested. Today, they’re worth a combined $1 billion and counting ... including the ones that didn’t work out. That’s the power of getting access to great companies at an early stage.

Since he joined the team, Chris has shown Alliance members how to claim early stakes in in amazing pre-IPO opportunities …

Like Paladin Power, an energy tech company that scored a letter of intent for $240 million of new business ... AFTER Weiss Members got to invest. Or like Taste of Nature, a confectionery company that landed a deal to sell its products in Costco locations nationwide.

Not to mention a private aerospace service taking satellites to orbit for 92% cheaper than SpaceX.

Plus, not one ... not two ... but THREE amazing private AI companies.

Public data on private companies can be quite thin. So when Chris finds a promising startup, he asks their executives tough questions about their visions and their finances.

He also tours their warehouses and laboratories, kicks the tires on their products, and interviews their funding partners, clients ... anyone who can help him determine whether the startup can measure up to its potential.

As the editor of Deal Hunters Alliance, he introduces members to private companies that have the best potential of turning nominal investments into memorable wins.

When he’s not interviewing founders or researching the next big idea, be can found spending time with his wife and five kids.
