For Founders
raise(fn) is the brain that remembers every investor, drafts every email, scores every fit, and tells you what to do next. You stay on the calls and the product. We handle the rest.
01 — Targeting
Not an alphabetical list of every VC on the internet. The brain knows your sector, stage, check size, geography, and cap table — and surfaces investors whose thesis, deployment cadence, and history actually fit.
Including the angels and family offices nobody else surfaces, the firms that haven't posted in a year but are quietly writing checks, and the warm-intro candidates in our proprietary network.

02 — Memory
Every conversation, meeting note, commitment, and decision — captured automatically as you work. No CRM to fill in. No investor questions to re-read at midnight before the second meeting.
When you come back tomorrow, the brain knows where you left off. When you come back next month, it still knows.

03 — Briefs
One-page tailored summaries for any investor — what they fund, what they pass on, why this could fit, and what to surface up front. Use them to prep meetings, draft cold outreach, or send to your advisors.
Works for investors the brain matched you with — and for anyone you already know. Drop in a name, get a brief.
What they fund
Solo angel checks of $25-100Kacross SEA B2B SaaS. Sweet spot is post-revenue seed, $500K-$2M rounds. Doesn't lead. Strong preference for technical founders.
Why this fits
Two of his last four publicly-announced checks were US-headquartered founders raising their A — pattern fits your geography + stage. Your MRR ($18K) and growth rate (22% MoM) land in his preferred traction band.
What to watch
He typically passes if there's no clear path to APAC expansion within 18 months. Worth surfacing your SEA partnership pipeline up front. Also passes on founders who can't articulate post-seed milestones in the first 10 minutes.
