From signup to closed round.
Five steps, end to end. The platform handles matching, NDAs, data rooms, and bid leaderboards so the conversation stays about the idea — not the logistics.
- 1
Sign up — founder or investor
Two minutes. We ask for the basics — name, email, role, a one-line pitch — and route you to the matching portal. Founders sign a one-time NDA; investors apply for empanelment so founders know they're real.
- 2
Tag your idea (founder) / Set your thesis (investor)
Founders pick from 22 industries × 7 stages × 11 investor types so the match engine knows exactly who should see the idea. Investors set thesis filters once — sectors, stage, ticket range, geography — and we surface only deals that fit.

Match scoring on 18 signals
Industry · sub-vertical · stage · round type · ask range · geography · co-founder traits · prior investor network · operator background · domain depth · capital type · cheque-size fit · timing · thesis keywords · momentum · founder-market fit · co-investor signal · revealed preferences. The engine picks the top investors-per-idea and the top ideas-per-investor; you see why each match scored as it did.

NDA-gated data rooms + structured discussion
Investors sign a viewing NDA before the data room unlocks — granular per-file permissions, optional watermarks, full audit log. Conversations stay in-app: messages, calendar invites, file shares, status updates, all under the same thread. No founder is chasing investors over five inboxes.

Bid leaderboard → close
Investors place bids inline. The leaderboard shows valuation, instrument, conditions in real-time. Founders accept / counter / reject; the winning bid moves to term sheet. PocketFund tracks the close; the success fee invoices once the round is funded — never before.
What you don't have to think about.
The mechanics that usually eat fundraising time. They're solved once, on the platform, for everyone.
- Cold-email outreach + tracking who replied
- Manually re-explaining your stage / sector / round to every investor
- Lost decks, rogue sharing, no audit trail
- Side-channel SMS / WhatsApp / DMs that vanish
- Rebuilding your pipeline tracker every quarter
Try it on your idea.
Two minutes to launch a project. Two minutes to apply as an investor. We handle the matching from there.
