The grunt work

Do it manually,
or do it before lunch.

Sourcing lists, hunting emails, drafting cold outreach, patching a data room together — Startup Funding runs the ops so you can focus on closing.

Find active investors

By hand

Hours of research, and half the data is already stale.

With Startup Funding

A live index of investors who wrote a check in the last six months — pre-filtered to your stage and sector.

Get verified emails

By hand

Hunt them down one address at a time.

With Startup Funding

Already there, verified and ready.

Write outreach and track replies

By hand

15–20 minutes per email from scratch, then a spreadsheet you forget to update.

With Startup Funding

Personalized templates ready to send in bulk, with every reply and follow-up tracked.

Build and share your data room

By hand

Deck here, cap table there, financials somewhere else — stitched by hand.

With Startup Funding

Deck, MRR, team, and ask bundled into one link. Always current, sent once.

The work that takes weeks by hand takes an afternoon.
