Backed by a16z and YC, Metal offers an AI-native operating system for founders raising venture rounds. From investor discovery and relationship mapping to an in-app round copilot, Metal helps founders take a data-driven and high-precision approach. The platform is already being actively used by hundreds of high-intent founders backed by a16z, YC, Techstars and other top-tier investors.








Really like how the investor mapping feels more like a relationship graph than a cold list. The in-app round copilot sounds like a smart move too.
The product is awesome. It intuitively took a insanely detailed process I've done 100 times to map investment, connection, and likely intent of investor and gave me a 100 person/VC shortly to explore for my next round . The team, the founder, and the mission are all exceptional
We used Metal when it was in beta. Amazing product for finding investor fit and subsequent reach out. Usman is also a really nice guy. Everyone should run their early fund raises through Metal!
@james_neville Thanks a lot, James! Also, CONGRATS on raising multiple mega rounds over the past few years since you first started using Metal.
Puzzle
This is long overdue. Well done.
