Round Funded

Round Funded is a fundraising workflow designed for startup founders who want to find relevant investors and accelerators without building prospect lists manually. Founders submit their startup information once, then use the platform to identify potential matches based on factors such as funding stage, sector, geography, and recent investment activity.

The platform is built for founders raising from pre-seed through Series C. It combines investor discovery, accelerator research, startup profiles, outreach, reply tracking, and fundraising resources into one workflow, helping founders move from identifying potential investors to managing actual fundraising conversations.

Key Features

Investor Matching

Find investors that may be relevant to your startup.

Round Funded matches startups with investors based on factors such as:

• Funding stage
• Industry or sector
• Geographic relevance
• Startup profile
• Recent investment activity

The goal is to help founders focus on investors who are more likely to fit their current fundraising stage instead of working from a broad and unfiltered database.

Active Investor Database

Search a database of more than 60,000 investors.

The platform focuses on investors with recent activity and provides information designed to help founders identify relevant fundraising opportunities.

The database includes:

• 60,000+ investors
• Recent investment activity
• Verified email information
• Stage-based filtering

This can help reduce the time spent working through outdated investor lists or searching for contact information manually.

Accelerator Matching

Find accelerator programs that may fit your startup.

Round Funded also includes accelerator matching, allowing founders to explore programs alongside traditional investor outreach.

This can help founders compare different routes to capital, including:

• Accelerators
• Early-stage programs
• Investor networks
• Startup funding opportunities

Keeping these options in the same workflow makes it easier to evaluate multiple fundraising paths.

Outreach From Your Gmail Account

Send investor outreach from your own email address.

Round Funded supports outreach through Gmail, allowing founders to send fundraising emails without moving their communication into a separate sending platform.

The workflow is designed to keep:

• Investor outreach
• Email activity
• Replies
• Follow-ups

connected to the same fundraising pipeline.

Personalized Outreach Drafting

Create outreach based on startup information and investor activity.

The platform can help draft personalized investor outreach using information such as:

• Startup details
• Traction
• Funding stage
• Fundraising ask
• Recent investor activity

Founders can still review and approve emails before sending them.

This provides a level of automation without completely removing founder control from the outreach process.

Reply and Follow-Up Tracking

Keep investor conversations and fundraising activity organized.

Round Funded tracks outreach activity so founders can keep important interactions in view.

This includes:

• Email opens
• Replies
• Follow-ups
• Pipeline activity

This can make it easier to manage multiple investor conversations without relying on separate spreadsheets or manual tracking systems.

Shareable Startup Profile

Present your fundraising information through one shareable link.

Round Funded allows founders to create a startup profile containing information such as:

• Pitch deck
• Monthly recurring revenue
• Team information
• Fundraising ask

Instead of repeatedly attaching separate files, founders can use a single profile to share the current version of their fundraising information.

This can also make it easier to update information without sending a new collection of documents to every investor.

Fundraising Pipeline Management

Keep investor discovery and outreach activity in one workspace.

The platform is designed to help founders track:

• Potential investors
• Outreach status
• Investor activity
• Replies
• Follow-ups
• Startup profile views

This provides a more connected workflow from initial investor research through active fundraising conversations.

YC and Founder Resources

Access fundraising and startup resources alongside the investor workflow.

Round Funded includes resources related to:

• YC application insights
• Founder guidance
• Grants
• Startup perks
• Templates

These resources provide additional support for founders working through fundraising and company-building tasks.

Why It Matters

Fundraising often requires founders to spend significant time building investor lists, checking whether firms are still active, finding contact information, preparing outreach, tracking replies, and keeping pitch materials up to date. These tasks are often spread across spreadsheets, databases, email tools, documents, and separate research sources.

Round Funded brings those parts of the fundraising process into one workflow. Founders can submit their startup information, identify investors and accelerators that fit their stage and profile, create a shareable startup page, draft outreach from their own Gmail account, and track replies and follow-ups as conversations develop.

The platform is particularly useful for founders who want assistance with the repetitive parts of fundraising without completely automating the relationship-building process. Founders remain involved in reviewing and approving outreach, while the platform helps reduce the manual work involved in list building, personalization, and pipeline tracking.
