How do I find the right investors for my startup?

The fastest way is to match on three dimensions: stage (pre-seed, seed, Series A), sector (your specific vertical), and ticket size (the cheque size you need). Cold-emailing 1,000 investors yields a 5% open rate. Matching with 5 investors who explicitly fund your stage and sector converts 8x higher. Fund Collective uses AI to screen on these dimensions and only makes warm introductions where there's verified two-sided fit.

Is Fund Collective free to use?

Yes — the deck assessment, scoring, and gap analysis are completely free. Founders only pay if they want premium services like full deck refinement or expert reviews. There's no upfront cost to see whether your deck is investor-ready.

How is Fund Collective different from cold-email platforms like Apollo or Hunter?

Cold-email tools sell volume — typically 20,000+ investor names — but the open rate is 3-7% and reply rate around 2%. Fund Collective takes the opposite approach: a smaller, vetted network of investors with curated warm introductions where the founder's stage and sector match the investor's stated thesis. Quality of match over quantity of contacts.

What information do I need to provide to find investors?

Start with your company website. We extract your stage, industry, and traction signals from public information. After that, you upload your pitch deck for free scoring against 49 criteria. The deck score plus your business profile determines which investors we match you with.

Which stages does Fund Collective serve?

Pre-seed (£100k-£750k cheques) through Series A (£1M-£10M+) in the UK, US, EU, and globally. Strongest match density at seed and pre-Series A — the stages where founder traction signals are most legible to investors.
