Hello Product Hunt, and thanks to Tristan @pollock for helping us out!
We are super excited to share with you ezVenture created by two female founders @liubov_ebralidze & @victoriaklimova
What is it?
ezVenture is an online platform that makes your fundraising journey EZ. The idea for ezVenture was born when Liubov Ebralidze was looking for investments as the CEO of a startup. The process was tedious and time-consuming. First, finding the right investor takes time. Then, creating a compelling message to investors takes a lot of effort.
The Problem we are solving
A typical VC’s conversion funnel follows a similar pattern: at the entry point, investors consider referrals, outbound, and inbound channels to generate deal flow. Whereas most of the application pool consists of cold emails, they are often perceived as noise by investors. As a result, almost none of them receive any funding. Unfortunately, first-time founders are not aware of nuances in how to find the right investors and approach them.
Our mission
We believe it is not fair and way too many brilliant ideas hardly get noticed. Our mission is to democratize the venture fundraising process by enabling first-time founders with automated tools to increase their chances to get funded.
Our Solution
To address this problem ezVenture provides:
- Free searchable database with thousands of VCs, angel investors, accelerators, and private equity firms that saves you 500 hours of research (Live!)
- Forum to engage with peers. (Live!)
- Automated tools to structure the content of the initial communication with investors, draft powerful emails, and create a winning pitch deck. We studied and synthesized best practices to make your startup communication stand out in front of investors (Coming soon!)
How does it work?
Use our free database to filter and select relevant investors. At the moment you can filter the information by location, type of investment, and focus area. We are also planning to add stages and investment geography and other filters. Our database is carefully curated and is continuously growing.
Once the investors are selected, you can use ezVenture automated tools (once launched!). Using our ezTips fill in the step-by-step form to structure your pitch deck, one-pager, and email draft. Once the form is filled, click the button and get the ready-to-send communication to your investor.
If you are a startup founder, help us shape the product by providing your feedback on the database now and the automated tools once launched!
Thanks,
Victoria & Liubov

Developing a platform for Helping Startups is very important because startups are very fragile and they need any kind of assistance - developing business idea, counceling on registering company, bookkeeping etc. what they need much more is business partners or shareholders and i guess this platform can help to get that
@matin_asgar you're absolutely right, we really hope our tools are going to be useful!

This looks so cool! I work with a lot of entrepreneurship educators at universities and community colleges. I'll definitely share this so they can pass along to their students.
@nancy_laichas That would be great! I am happy to help or answer any further questions the students may have! Feel free to connect me.

In an already busy and fast paced world, having a product to search database of investors for your startup and also help with the pitch (esp for beginners like myself) is a no brainer! More people need to find out and provide feedback about this amazing product. I'll be watching this space. Thanks.
With such service I want to go and make my own startup now!
I believe this will help geek with cool ideas to start building business. Good luck @victoriaklimova and @liubov_ebralidze!
