Frequently Asked Questions

What is fundraise.vc?

Fundraise.vc is a private marketplace for investors and companies to trade digital securities and assets privately and securely, the platform allows companies or enterprises digitalize their assets and creates liquidity for them by connecting them to investors and syndicates who can buy and sell these assets.

Is fundraise.vc an investor or accelerator?

Fundraise.vc is neither an investor nor an accelerator. It is a data-powered platform focused on optimizing the fundraising process, and as a company does not currently provide any funding to the selected startups.

Who is eligible to pitch to fundraise.vc?

Our investor pool is looking to invest in early-stage, high-growth startups across a variety of industries, geographies, and round sizes. You’re welcome to apply if you’re pre-product or pre-revenue. We don’t have a cap on valuation size, and we’re opening to considering startups of all countries, sectors, and business models.

What kind of investors are there in the network?

Accredited investors in all forms: venture capital funds, private equity funds, fund of funds, family offices, individual investors, angel groups and networks, as well as venture partners and broker dealers.

What happens after a pitch is submitted?

Pitches will be reviewed by our panel of advisors composed of top VCs and angel investors, on a rolling basis. Each month, they’ll select a cohort of ambitious companies to share with our network of 100+ investors. If you’re selected, your pitch will be forwarded to investors based on their investment criteria (i.e. stage, industry, business model, location, or round size). If you’re not selected, you’ll be able to pitch again after you’ve made some more progress.

What happens after a pitch is selected?

If an investor is interested, we’ll make a warm intro. Although we cannot guarantee interest, recently selected pitches have received an average of five to ten investor intros. If you don’t receive any investor intros, that means that unfortunately, no investors were interested in meeting with you at that time.

Is there any feedback about the pitch?

Due to the volume of submissions we receive, we unfortunately cannot provide individualized feedback on pitch submissions. However, you can find opportunities to workshop your pitch or prepare for your next submission by joining our community, registering for our expert sessions, or browsing our published content.

What diligence does fundraise.vc do on companies?

fundraise.vc uses a panel of judges that evaluates submissions based on criteria such as TAM, business model, and idea/solution/technical novelty. However, our judges don’t do any financial vetting — it is up to investors to conduct their own due diligence. fundraise.vc does not endorse or recommend investment in any of these companies and this program should not be seen as financial advice.

Is fundraise.vc an investment adviser?

Although our Site may describe opportunities to invest in various securities, we do not make recommendations regarding the appropriateness of any particular investment opportunity for any particular investor. We are not investment advisers and we do not provide investment advice or monitor, endorse, analyze, or recommend any securities. You should be aware that the value of investments in private securities may be impacted by limited disclosure of financial and other company information, and of transaction reporting; they may be less-liquid than comparable public-market securities and that private securities holdings are often subject to additional trading restrictions which may impact your ability to sell. You should consult your business adviser, accounting adviser, and/or attorney with respect to price, value, risk or other aspects of your security or investment, prior to entering into a transaction.

Investments in digital tokens are particularly risky and may result in total loss of invested capital. Past performance of a security or a company does not guarantee future results or returns. Only investors who understand the risks and who meet the our investment criteria may invest.
