Deal Room
A quiet channel between founders who are raising right now and investors in this community who are actively writing cheques. It is a list of introductions, not a fundraising platform.
How it works
You tell us the round
Stage, amount, traction, and who you've already spoken to. We'd rather know it's messy than find out later.
We shortlist
We match against investors in the community by stage, sector, and geography. If there's no fit, we say so instead of spraying introductions.
Double opt-in intro
Both sides agree before an introduction happens. After that, the conversation is yours and we stay out of it.
For founders
- You're actively raising, not planning to raise next year
- You can share traction and a data room without a two week delay
- You're a member of the community and people here know your work
- You're comfortable with investors hearing about you before you pitch them
For investors
- You invest at pre-seed or seed
- You're open to founders building outside the United States
- You give founders a clear yes or no rather than going quiet
- You're part of the community, not just the mailing list
