The problem it solves

Building a fundraising pipeline means researching which investors actually fit your stage and sector, finding the right partner to reach out to, and keeping it all organized in a spreadsheet as it grows. That research alone can eat up days you'd rather spend talking to investors. You want a running list of well-matched investors with the details and a priority score already filled in.

Who it fits

Startup founders raising a pre-seed or seed round.

How it works

  1. The automation researches investors that match your stage and sector focus.
  2. OpenAI scores each investor based on fit, check size, and portfolio overlap.
  3. Partner name, check size, and portfolio companies are gathered for each entry.
  4. New investors appear directly in your fundraising spreadsheet, sorted by priority score.
What you get

Investors matched to your fundraising stage

You get a prioritized list of investors that fit your stage and sector, ready to review.

What you get

An updated fundraising spreadsheet with new, scored investors and their contact and portfolio details.

What you need

A Google Workspace account and an OpenAI API key with web research access.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
