Connect with Investors

We enable anyone, regardless of gender and race, to have an equal opportunity at funding - no warm intros or elite networks required.

Commitment to Transparency

Our goal is to transform the process of fundraising, fostering access to great investors who value you as a founder.

Share your pitch deck

Share your pitch deck with investors and fellow founders, and receive honest, constructive feedback. It’s fast and easy.

Founders

We’ve created a platform where founders can share their companies’ pitch decks with investors who will value them. Our focus is on helping underrepresented founders get funded. If you are a founder who is female, a person of color, disabled, LGBTQIA, and/or from an economically disadvantaged background, we extend a special invitation to you to join our community.

Investors

We’re looking for investors who are interested in putting their money where their mouths are and will actually fund diverse teams of founders. If you are an investor who values diversity, inclusiveness, and transparency in both the funding industry and startup culture, then we would be honored to have you to join our platform!

Create your profile

Founders

Register with your company’s name and location, fundraising ask, and industry. To decrease bias, we don’t show investors your name or your photo, only your startup’s information and the first slide of your pitch deck.

Investors

Register with your firm’s name and location, industries you focus on, locations where you invest, and your check size range. Your name and firm (if applicable) is shared with founders only when you contact them on the platform.
