Hello, I'm investing
For angels, VCs and accelerators
- Get found by founders in your sectors and city
- Choose how they reach you: email, pitch form or LinkedIn
- Wear a verified badge founders trust
Checked at the door.
Fake investors target first-time founders. So nobody gets a badge until a person has checked who they are, and anyone can flag something that feels off.
A person checks every profile
Investors and events go live only after review, and again after any edit.
Three reports and they're out
A profile reported by three people is pulled until we look into it.
No one charges to be heard
Real investors never ask founders for a review fee. If someone does, report them.
From stranger to first meeting.

New to raising? Start here.
Do I need connections to talk to investors?
No. Most first-time founders start without a network. Every investor here has chosen to be found by founders, and lists how they want to be contacted. Local events are a low-pressure way to meet them in person.
How do I know the investors are real?
A person checks every profile before it goes live, and again whenever it changes. If anything feels off, use "Report this profile". And remember: real investors never ask founders to pay a fee to be reviewed.
What should my first message say?
Keep it short: what you're building, why it fits their focus, and a simple ask for a quick call. Our AI drafts one for you from your startup details. You edit it and send it from your own email.
