One application, many backers
Every approved investor and partner in the cohort can see your company and pitch to you. No warm intro needed.
Fundraising for founders who hate pitching and getting ghosted.
Apply once with a written profile. Investors working on your topic pitch to you. You choose who to meet, and every “no” comes with a reason. No deck, no stage, no fee.
You choose
Requests come to you when the round closes. Accept the meetings you want; decline the rest privately.
No ghosting
Investors either pitch or pass with a reason; there is no silent option. Once three or more pass, you see their reasons as anonymous totals.
Sometimes more on the table
Some cohorts add a prize, a paid pilot or perks from the sponsor. Each one shows its terms up front.
How it works
- Apply oncePick a cohort on your topic and apply with your existing company. Your profile is reused next time.
- Get askedDuring the live round the community votes, and investors and partners pitch to you, mark top picks or pass with a reason.
- Choose and learn whyAccept the meetings you want. You get a private summary: votes, requests, top picks and why backers passed.
What is shared, and when
- Public after approval
- Your company profile: name, one-liner, sector, stage, what you are building and what support you want.
- Only after you accept
- Your email, booking link and deck go to the investors and partners you accept, and you get theirs.
- Never
- Your details are not sold or handed to sponsors for marketing. Pass reasons are never shown with names.
Questions
Is it free?
Yes. Founders never pay to apply or to meet anyone. Sponsors fund the cohorts.
Do I need a pitch deck or to pitch on stage?
No. You apply with your company profile. A few challenge cohorts offer an optional pitch, but winners are judged on the application and a short call.
What if nobody pitches to me?
It happens, especially in small cohorts, and it is not a verdict. You still see votes and any pass reasons once enough backers respond.
Do I give up any IP or equity?
No. Applying grants no licence, assignment or equity to anyone. Each cohort states this in its terms.
Can I join more than one cohort?
Yes. Your profile carries over; each cohort only asks what is specific to it.
