SeedForge matches your startup to funds whose investment thesis fits what you are building. We keep an index of funds and match on four things: the stage a fund backs, the sectors it backs, the geographies it covers, and the fund's investment thesis. We also favor funds that have invested in the past year, so your matches are investors who are still actively writing checks. Fit comes first. A shorter list of funds that genuinely fit beats a long list that was never a match.
The match reads your whole profile: the stage, sector, and geography you set, your traction, your uploaded deck, and your AI Session. The more complete your profile, the better we understand your startup, and the sharper your matches become.
Your AI Session feeds this directly. It gives you room to address red flags or misconceptions that an early read of your profile surfaces, and to show who you are on camera. Investors who later open your profile see that, which builds trust and leads to better conversations. Your first AI Session is free.
Your SeedForge Score affects ranking. A higher Score lifts you among other startups a fund is matched with. It does not change which funds you fit. A fund only ever sees startups that match its thesis.
Each match appears in your Matched investors list. Every fund shows an Investor Fit summary, its Stage, Geography, Check Size, and Sectors, and a Why this match line explaining the reason it was matched to you. Connect your LinkedIn to unlock your full matched investor list, free.
Note: Coverage is strongest for pre-seed and seed investors, across all sectors, with a US, EU, and Western bias.
