I raised $25m and hated it.
The process of raising funding was the part of building a startup that I loved/loathed the most depending on the day.
Funding is essential for many businesses, and adds huge value; but every founder I talk to describes it as a “necessary evil”. Not a great start.
We’re testing an AI deal engine for Seed/A raises to take some of the pain out of it:
• Investor fit scoring
• Warm-intro style emails
• VC-ready teaser/model/diligence reports
I’m looking for 10 founders to pressure-test it this week. If this sounds like you (or someone you know) then check it out:
