Co-founder building Round Funded, making fundraising less painful for founders

Hey PH!

I’m Alina, co founder & CEO of Round Funded.

We’re building Round Funded because fundraising still involves way too much manual work.

Today, founders can use Round Funded to access 60,000+ active, vetted investors across 60+ countries and 40+ industries, from pre seed through Series C+.

The idea is simple: submit your startup once, and we surface investors and accelerators that actually fund companies at your stage.

From there, you can connect Gmail, send personalized pitches from your own address, track opens and replies, manage your pipeline, and keep your fundraising process in one place.

We also built the things founders normally end up piecing together elsewhere: a shareable data room, accelerator and angel discovery, accepted YC application insights, grants, and $500K+ worth of founder perks.

The part I care about most is data freshness.

Every investor in the database has invested within the last 6 months, and we re verify the data weekly. Fundraising is already difficult enough without founders wasting hours pitching dead funds or partners who no longer invest in their space.

One of our earliest beta founders ran his raise through Round Funded and closed $290K.

Obviously, no platform can guarantee someone a term sheet. But it showed us that when founders have active investor data, verified contact information, good outreach, and consistent follow up, the process can become a lot less chaotic.

I’ll be sharing more here about what we’re learning while building Round Funded, the mistakes founders make while raising, and what fundraising actually looks like behind the scenes.

Anyone can raise.
