Questions founders actually ask.

Matching a founder to investors on measured behaviour rather than stated preference. A fund's website says what it invests in. Its check history says what it actually invests in. Fundraising intelligence works from the second one and shows its reasoning for every name it puts in front of you.

Founders raising pre-seed, seed or Series A. It is worth most to someone raising a first institutional round with no network in venture, who has a company that deserves funding and a list of investors assembled from a search engine, a podcast, and a friend who raised two years ago in a different sector.

A database sells reach: every investor, searchable, yours to filter. CherryPitch reads your company and tells you which investors belong on your list, with a reason under each name. Ten right investors are worth more than ten thousand random ones.

A deck tool helps you build and design the presentation. CherryPitch reads the deck to work out what your company is, then matches that against investor records. The deck is the input. The investor list is what you came for.

Yes, as partners. If you run a program and want your founders to have fundraising intelligence as part of it, contact us and we will set it up. Accelerators are not investors in our database, they do not appear on anyone's list, and they never see your deck or your matches.

Yes, for funds. Fund coverage is global, more than 6,000 firms. Angel network coverage is United States only, more than 500 networks. A founder based anywhere can upload a deck and be matched against the global fund set.

Yes, on every plan, including the free one. On the free plan you write to your mentor in your Inbox, any time. Curate adds a 30-minute video session every month, and Raise makes it every week.

People who have raised before, or decided on companies like yours. Your mentor might be a seasoned founder, an operator who has scaled a company, a VC, an angel investor, a go-to-market expert or a finance leader. We match you with the mentor who fits what you need.

Anything that gets you ready to raise. Rehearse your pitch with a VC, read your deck through an investor's eyes, work through your investor list, plan the round, or get a second opinion on pricing and go-to-market. After a partner meeting, come back to debrief on what landed and what to send next.

No. Mentorship sessions are for preparation. A VC mentor joins the call to help you practise and sharpen your answers, and doesn't take pitches for investment. Save the real pitch for the investors on your list.

Open Mentors in the app and pick a time. Sessions are 30 minutes over video. On the free plan, message your mentor in your Inbox, and upgrade to Curate or Raise when you want to talk it through live.

We hold a record for every fund that separates what the investor claims from what the investor has been measured doing. Your deck tells us what your company is, how far along it is, and what you are raising. The two go together, and where the stated and the observed records disagree, the observed one carries the weight, because behaviour predicts behaviour.

Two kinds of public source. The first is what a firm publishes about itself: its stated thesis, stage focus, sectors, check size. The second is what its own history shows: the companies it has actually backed, when, and at what stage. We hold both, mark which is which, and refresh them every day.

Venture funds and angel networks. More than 6,000 funds globally and more than 500 angel networks in the United States. Every record carries the date each measured field was last checked.

Yes. CherryPitch matches a company to investors, and the deck is how we learn what the company is. Without one we cannot describe your business accurately enough for the matching to be worth anything.

You do not need a perfect deck. You need one that states what you are building, how far along you are, and what you are raising.

Under a minute. You will have your list before you close the tab.

Every investor comes with a written reason for why that investor and not another, specific to them and traceable to their own record. No two names carry the same sentence. On Curate and Raise, open any name to see who the firm is, where it's based and its website. Raise adds contacts and application links.

On Curate you see every investor by name, with the reasoning behind each match, plus your matched angel networks. On Raise you work the list inside CherryPitch: contacts and application links, an outreach draft written for your deck and each investor's thesis that opens in Gmail, Outlook or your mail app, and a CRM to track every conversation. Archive an investor and your next best match takes its place.

Curate identifies. Raise executes.

The deck is where we start, and the investor list is what the product is for. Around the list sit readiness, targeting, outreach and a CRM, with a mentor to prepare with at every step. That covers the full arc of a raise.

No model decides anything. Matching runs on records: what a fund has stated, and what it has been measured doing. A model smooths the sentence that explains a match, and that is the whole of its job.

You will never see a score, a grade, or a fit label, on your company or on a match.

A free account with no payment details. You get the full deck analysis and evidence mapping, a new deck analysis every day, and 20 matched investors, each with the reason it fits. You also get a mentor in your Inbox to ask anything, in writing. Investor names and live mentor sessions come with Curate.

Curate shows every matched investor by name and website, and adds angel network matches, slide-level feedback, prioritized fixes and a 30-minute mentor session every month.

Raise is for running the raise. You get your top 200 matches, 20 at a time, with contacts and application links. It also includes outreach drafts written for your deck and each investor's thesis, a CRM, a data room with sharing links, and a 30-minute mentor session every week.

No. Cancel from your account settings when your round closes and billing stops. Your access runs to the end of the period you have paid for. Come back when you raise again, and your history is still there.

Any time, from your account settings. Cancelling stops future billing and your access continues to the end of the current period. Payments already made are not refunded.

First-time subscribers can request a full refund within three days of their first purchase by contacting support. Renewals, upgrades and downgrades are not refundable. A refunded account is deactivated.

Your deck is read to build your investor list, and nothing else. CherryPitch does not share founder data with investors, does not surface your deck to anyone without your consent, and does not aggregate deal flow for the other side of the table.

Your materials are encrypted and confidential. No investor knows you are on the platform unless you contact them.
