I spent 8 years as a VC. Invested in 47 companies, read thousands of decks, sat through hundreds of pitches.
And the whole time, from my side of the table, I kept noticing the same thing. The founders struggling to raise usually didn't have worse ideas. They were the ones who couldn't get in front of the right investors, or were emailing the wrong ones with the wrong message.
Frankly, it's smooth and super efficient. Fundraising is a mega hassle. Sourcing the right investors, getting access, and knowing what to tell them to open the door is complex. This solves at least that big chunk of the work.
CRM to better track investors conversations. And make sure it integrates well with your ecosystem tools like Notion, Attio,...etc
I tried sourcing investors from Crunchbase and Pitchbooks. That costs $20-50k! Tell me whom will pay this at early stage
VC Boom makes earlystage fundraising much easier. Its deck scoring highlights improvements in under 90 seconds, it matches you with relevant investors for your round and even drafts personalized outreach emails. It saves time, reduces guesswork and provides structure for founders who are new to fundraising.
Below are the main pointers
- It gives an instant deck score with specific feedback on what’s weak or strong, so you know exactly what to fix and how investors will judge your deck.
- It matches founders to thousands of tailored investors with relevant verticals and check sizes, not just a broad list.
- It drafts personalized outreach emails that sound like a real founder wrote them, not generic templates.
- Its usually a one‑time payment with no long contracts or commissions and can speed up outreach from weeks to a few weeks.
Awesome feedback Hamza. We will take the improvement list to heart and prioritize those features.
Best product I've tried to speed up my seed round and secure my investment in just 6 weeks.
I think the scoring could be slightly improved by providing even more specific feedback but overall the app is already very solid!
VC Boom is the best solution out there - both the price you pay, the overall experience and how fast it is to get investors ready to sign checks for you.
📣🚨 22 days left before VCs go on vacation. Raise now! 🚨📣
Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I'm Yoann, founder of VC Boom.
I've been a VC for 8 years, invested in 47 companies, and read thousands of pitch decks. I built VC Boom to turn that expertise into a product that scores your deck, finds investors active in your category, and drafts personalized cold emails so you can raise faster.
Here's how it works:
🎯 Scores your deck across 7 investor dimensions in <90 seconds and shows you what to fix to raise your score
🤝 Matches you with 100 investors active in your space who are likely to invest (filtered from 47k through my network)
📬 Unlocks their contacts, drafts outreach emails that read as human and authentic, and sends them from your own inbox
Boom! 💥
Results after just four weeks:
📈 620 founders signed up
✅ 1,120 decks scored
🚀 $95M raised by founders using VC Boom
VC Boom isn't a database, and it isn't a done-for-you agency that takes over your raise and takes a cut of it.
It's a raise advisor you drive.
Important note: there's fewer than 22 days left in the current VC window. If you want to get on the AI bandwagon before this year's blockbuster IPOs, you need to raise now.
With VC Boom, you'll be live in minutes, approving every send, and what you raise is yours.
We even bundle $1.8M+ in startup perks to help your round go further.
It's free to score your deck and see your first 100 matches. No credit card needed.
Why am I building this?
I'm a LinkedIn Top Voice and write the largest climate tech newsletter on Substack, read by 18k founders. Over the last year, I've sold them $75k worth of investor lists. They all want shortcuts.
Most ended up either spamming hundreds of the wrong investors or freezing in analysis paralysis, sitting on thousands of contacts with no idea what to do with them. That is when I knew something was badly broken.
VC Boom is the intelligence layer that fixes it. Ensures your deck is ready. Matches you with the right investors. Unlocks the contacts and gives you the touch of authenticity that locks in the meeting.
VCs and angels are crazy about AI products these days. But it's crowded. You need to stand out.
I'd love your feedback, especially from anyone raising right now.
What app or product are you raising for? I'll be in the comments all day. I'll give you pointers and might open up my direct network. 🚀
Next Tuesday is YC Demo Day — just four days after SpaceX will have IPO'd.
There's about to be a lot of liquidity sloshing around... and @yoann_berno3's VC Boom is a perfectly timed resource to help you turn whatever deck you're pitching now into something much crisper.
The process is simple: upload your deck and get scored. You'll be given actionable steps to fix what you're missing.
You'll then attach this deck to the draft emails VC Boom writes for you so your pitch is tight when you contact the qualified investors VC Boom recommends (from Yoann's own network of 45K+ investors!).
💥 Boom! Instant termsheet! 💥
Ok ok, maybe not quite like that... but in this market? Who knows!
The timing really is critical here. Even with IPOs hitting the retail segment, there are really only ~22 days left before VCs disappear for summer. If you're building at the frontiers of AI and were thinking about raising in a month — you could be too late!
Which is why Yoann built this. He isn’t parachuting into fundraising software. He’s been a VC for 8 years, seen thousands of decks, and has founders paying for his investor lists. VC Boom turns that expertise into a product you can use today.
If you’re sitting on a deck and telling yourself you’ll “start outreach soon”… yeah. Consider this your sign. 🧨
@chrismessina Chris, thank you for the hunt, and honestly for framing the why-now sharper than I did in my own post. 🙏
The "instant termsheet" line got a laugh out of me, and you're right to caveat it. VC Boom won't conjure a term sheet from thin air. What it does is make sure that when you're finally in front of the right partner, your deck isn't the reason they pass and your email isn't the reason they ghost.
And the squeeze is real: SpaceX, YC Demo Day, and the summer cutoff all landing in the same few weeks. Founders who tighten the deck and start outreach this week are the ones who catch the window. The rest will be emailing into a void come July.
So to anyone reading who's sitting on a deck telling themselves "soon": Chris is right. This is your sign. Score it, see your matches, get in those inboxes. 💥
Would be great to add a feature that tracks investor conversations and follow-ups. Managing the pipeline after outreach is another big part of fundraising.
@ben_d3 @aarav_pittman Yes, will continue beefing up the CRM component.
We've also automated email sequences. You can post a 3-day and 7-day reminder if investors don't reply to initial email
This is very cool-- how does this adjust based on your stage of business? i.e. pre-revenue/pre-PMF, vs revenue generating vs rapidly scaling? The description was unclear to me what type of company would benefit the most from using this. Thanks @yoann_berno3!
@antifreeze Great question, and fair point, that one’s on me. The description doesn’t make this clear enough.
Sweet spot is pre-seed through Series A. That’s who it’s built for and where it works best.
It adjusts in two ways. The matching filters to investors who actually write checks at your stage and size, so if you’re pre-revenue you get angels and pre-seed funds, not growth VCs who wouldn’t look at you yet. And the scoring weighs things by stage: pre-PMF it leans on team, market, and how clearly you frame the problem, since there’s no traction to judge yet. Once you’ve got revenue, your metrics carry a lot more weight.
Where it’s less useful: pure idea stage with no deck yet (nothing to score), or Series B and up, where raises run more on relationships and warm intros than cold outreach to a fresh list.
So who benefits most, honestly: a founder actively raising pre-seed to Series A who doesn’t already have a warm investor network to lean on. If VCs are already chasing your round, you don’t need me. If you’re staring at a blank list, that’s exactly who this is for.
Thanks for the sharp question 🙏
I like the idea, but I was wondering if is it only targeting US builders or will it also be valuable for people who are building a startup outside the US (Ex: in Europe)?
@mike_milord Honest answer is yes, it absolutely works outside the US. Europe is very much on our radar, not an afterthought.
The matching pulls from 47k+ investor profiles that include European and global funds, not just US ones, so you get surfaced people who actually deploy in your region and at your stage.
Best way to know for sure: run your deck through the free score and look at the matches it gives you. If you tell me roughly where you're based and what you're building, I'm happy to eyeball whether the coverage is strong for your space.

Congrats on the launch!! Super cool. I will use it when time come. I am still super early MVP stage. Still figuraing out the market. So what the revenue model ? Is there any discount for early testers like us? I was trying to visit the website, but for some reason it showed me :

@sabber_ahamed Hey Sabber, sure there's a 20% discount for PH users. Code in the slide ;)
Which country are you visiting the website from? can you try different browser
@yoann_berno3 I am from Dallas, TX. Every time, I try to open it up, ATT blocks it and it says it has: unsecure website. All other websites are working just fine.
@sabber_ahamed Let us investigate. None of the other users are facing this. Let me get back to you. Thanks for bringing it up

A couple of ISP threat-intelligence systems haven't yet recategorized the new name from "unknown" to "safe". The site itself is fine: valid SSL, no malware flags on Google or VirusTotal.
Two things that will get you in right now:
1. Try mobile data (turn off Wi-Fi), usually opens immediately.
2. Try Firefox, it uses Mozilla's own DNS resolver by default
