Investor Matchmaking
Investor matchmaking is introducing a company to investors whose thesis, stage and cheque size genuinely fit it, rather than to whoever is reachable.

How we help with Investor Matchmaking
A warm introduction to the wrong fund is worse than no introduction at all.
Establish what kind of investor fits
Stage, cheque size, sector thesis and whether they lead. Most founder lists ignore at least two of these.
Build a real target list
Funds that have actually deployed into companies like yours recently, checked rather than assumed from a website.
Introduce with context
An introduction that tells the investor why this company fits their thesis specifically, which is what turns a forward into a meeting.
Sequence the outreach
Approached in an order that creates parallel conversations rather than a queue, so terms are compared.

FAQ
Questions founders ask about Investor Matchmaking
Why does investor fit matter so much?
A warm introduction to the wrong fund is worse than no introduction: it burns the relationship with the introducer and gives the founder a false signal about why they were passed on.
How do you decide which investors to approach?
Thesis, stage, cheque size and recent deployment, checked against what the fund has actually done rather than what it says. Many funds describe a stage they have stopped writing cheques at.
Do you guarantee introductions?
No, and anyone who does is describing a list rather than a relationship. What we commit to is a target list that is genuinely matched and introductions where the relationship exists.
What should be ready before outreach starts?
The model, the evidence and the data room. An investor who becomes interested moves quickly, and a company that cannot keep pace loses the momentum that made them interested.
