For Founders

The agent that runs your raise alongside you.

raise(fn) sources the right investors, writes and sends your outreach, books your meetings, preps you for each one, captures the debrief, and tracks the pipeline. You take the calls. The agent runs the rest.

01 — Targeting

Investors who actually write your check.

Not an alphabetical list of every VC on the internet. The agent takes your sector, stage, check size, geography, and cap table, then sources and ranks investors whose thesis, deployment cadence, and history actually fit.

Includes 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.

Captures every conversation. Forgets nothing.

Come back tomorrow, the agent knows where you left off. Come back next month, it still knows.

03 — Briefs

Writes investor briefs in seconds, not Saturdays.

The agent writes a one-page brief tailored to any investor — what they fund, what they pass on, why this could fit, and what to surface up front. Use them to prep meetings, ground cold outreach, or send to your advisors.

Works for investors the agent sourced — and for anyone you already know. Drop in a name, get a brief.

Why we think this fits

Three SEA-headquartered B2B SaaS bets in your last 12 months sit in the solo-angel band. Halcyon's an enterprise email infrastructure play, Singapore HQ, US-first GTM. Sits cleanly inside your geo and stage. Round's well underway.

Where they are

$22K MRR, averaging ~24% MoM over the last three months. 14 paying customers, two of them Fortune 500. No churn this quarter. Pipeline's healthy with several late-stage trials.

The team

  • Lena Park (CEO). 4 years at SendGrid running the deliverability platform team. Then Twilio infra.
  • Marcus Rhee (CTO). 3 years at Mailgun building their reputation-scoring engine. Then Stripe.
  • Both have personally shipped the infrastructure they're now selling.

What's working

  • ·Real growth without anomalous spikes. Repeatable inbound from a couple of channels.
  • ·Two Fortune 500 contracts signed in the last quarter.
  • ·Anti-spam algorithm patent filed recently. Two incumbents have already replicated parts.

What to watch

Customer base is concentrated in the top accounts. Worth asking how they're thinking about expansion inside those before pushing for net-new logos.

Everything else

The whole raise. In one agent.

Matching, briefs, and memory are the headline acts. Every other part of running a raise lives in the same agent.

Common questions

For founders.

What does my raise look like with raise(fn)?

You talk to it. No forms. No dashboard. You tell it what you're building, where you are, what you're trying to do — it captures the company, the team, the metrics, the wedge, the round shape. Then it runs your raise: builds the investor list ranked by who actually deploys into your space, critiques your deck slide-by-slide, writes briefs for every match, preps you for every meeting, tracks the pipeline, debriefs after each conversation, brokers warm intros where there's a relationship in the network, and walks you through the term sheet when one lands. One conversation. Replaces the database, the CRM, the spreadsheet, the slide-critique service, and the strategy session — all of it.

Can raise(fn) help if I'm not raising yet?

Yes. It runs a readiness check — six signals across story, ask, motion, wedge, target list, post-close plan. Tells you which ones are weak. Helps you sharpen them. Premature outreach burns the best investors first. Getting to 'ready' before opening conversations is half the game.

How is raise(fn) different from other fundraising SaaS tools?

Most fundraising SaaS is a database (PitchBook, Crunchbase), a CRM (Affinity, DealCloud), or generic outreach automation (Apollo, Lemlist) — built for general sales, not for raising a round. They give you tools; you still do the work. raise(fn) is the agent. It sources the matches, writes the briefs, sends the outreach through your Gmail, books your meetings on Google Calendar, preps you for each one, captures the debrief, and tracks your pipeline as you go. One product for the whole raise. And it's calibrated on real fundraising outcomes, not generic CRM patterns — every raise that runs through it makes the next one sharper.

If I'm on the free plan, why would I pay?

Free gives you the matching engine with a use cap. Paid removes the cap and unlocks the full system across your raise — deeper meeting prep, debrief support, pipeline tracking, deck critique, pitch refinement, term sheet walkthrough, warm intros. If your round is small and the cap covers it, free is enough. If you're running an active raise with 20+ parallel investor conversations, paid is built for that.
