Know the investor before the first message.
Their criteria, declared.
Stage, sectors, check size, structure and geography sit on every investor's profile before they can see you. The Fit score reads that against your round.
- A high Fit means the basics already line up. A low one tells you which dimension doesn't.
- Investors can stay anonymous until you connect. Their criteria never are.

Example. Fit 91 with your round.
Your materials, gated until it's mutual.
Your deck, financials and data room live in the Vault. Each document is gated, open or private, your choice. Nothing gated opens until both sides accept the shared NDA, and what opens is watermarked to the viewer.
- Tick what auto-sends, and the investor has it the moment you connect.
- Three messages each before the NDA. Enough to establish interest, not enough to extract your figures.
Direct Pitch, when you don't want to wait.
Found an investor whose declared criteria match your round? Send a Direct Pitch: a short note and the Vault documents you choose, straight to their inbox. It stays there for seven days.
- Uses credits. Free during the beta.
- Attachments arrive with the pitch, so the investor can review them right away. Attach only what you are comfortable sharing before an NDA.
From a time to a call.
Once the shared NDA is accepted, schedule or start now, the investor answers the invite, and recording happens only if both of you agree. Then the call runs in the app.
Six things that go.
Meetings that were never going to workFinding out on the call they don't fund your stage, sector or deal size.
Fit settled before anyone books timeThe mismatch is visible on the Brief, by dimension.
Not knowing who is seriousNo way to separate an investor deploying this quarter from one taking meetings.
A declared timeline on the profileDeployment status and last activity sit on the Dossier, so silence isn't the thing you learn from.
Chasing down documentsThe same financial summary sent three times across email and file links.
Documents that arrive on connectionTick what auto-sends and the other side has it the moment you connect.
Five different toolsOne to find investors, another to message, another for calls, another for files.
