The author notes that early-stage deal volume (Pre-seed/Seed) has dropped by 40% year-over-year. In a tighter market, mass-emailing 200 funds is inefficient and costly. To solve this, the author recommends Investor Match, an AI-powered platform designed to streamline fundraising.
Founders can upload their pitch deck, and the AI analyzes it like a partner would—evaluating the sector, stage, business model, and funding target. It then returns 20 personalized investor recommendations ranked by fit score. The tool provides direct contacts and ready-to-send outreach emails, helping founders stop cold-emailing poor-fit funds and focus on actual matches.
