Founder Discovery
Be found by investors who back your stage
Prepare first. When your deck scores 70 or more and you’ve finished your preparation steps, you can choose one deck for approved investors to find.
We don’t promise investment, meetings or introductions.
How it works for you
Earned, not bought
Discovery opens when you meet the preparation criteria. The steps use credits; discovery itself can’t be bought.
Matched on what investors back
Stage, sector, location and cheque size, compared with each investor’s stated preferences.
You stay in control
You choose the deck investors can find. Introductions only happen when you approve them, and you can stop at any time.
Your path to discovery

Prepare
Work through your roadmap: the full report, pitch practice, Deep Practice, the AI Hot Seat and a second assessment.
Choose your deck
Once you meet the criteria, pick the deck approved investors can find.
Good to know
- Who are the investors?
- Investors apply to join Fund Collective, and our team approves each one.
- What do investors see?
- The deck you choose to list and its report summary: the score, verdict, category scores, and your top strengths and gaps. Plus the profile details you’ve added. Nothing else is shared without your approval.
