What's up founders/hunters/investors/ Mom!!!
This is Ryan O'Hara. Maybe you've seen me make an ass of myself in videos helping founders.
When I raising money for my old startup (also called Pitchfire...yeah I reused the name shoot me), it was so hard to find VCs that were actually a good fit, and so much work to get an introduction to them.
So we invented Pitchfire for Startups. Ask me anything you want to know.
As a founder, my hesitation with any "AI-matched intro" tool is the investor side of the equation - VCs already get flooded with cold decks, so what stops this from becoming just another inbox they learn to ignore? Is there anything that limits volume per investor or verifies the match quality before the intro goes out, versus just matching on stated thesis keywords?
Love this, Ryan! It is SO hard finding investors who are the right fit. Then getting the intros + figuring out how to get in front of them is sooooooo much work. Congrats to you and the team on the launch!
Hey Ryan. Last raise I saw was a giant spreadsheet of investors and cold emails that mostly went nowhere. Handing that grind off and aiming at the firms who'd care first sounds like a far kinder way to go.
This is another great idea Ryan! Founders struggle through pitching Angel and VC funds let alone finding the right ones.
I’m still at a very early stage building and experimenting with a few different products across areas like events, communities, edtech and B2B. Finding the right investors for each idea can probably become a pretty time-consuming part of the journey. Pitchfire looks like it could save me a lot of that time by helping find investors who are actually relevant to what I’m building. I’ll definitely keep this in mind as I get further along.
Great work @ryohara and team. Tons of best wishes ahead :)
