Pre-seed & Seed

Stop cold-emailing investors.

Fundraising is a relationship game. MatCap builds you an investor network overnight — warm introductions through people who already know and trust each other.

The fundraising problem

You have a great company. But the investors you need to meet don't know you exist.

95%

of cold emails to investors go unanswered. You're not being ignored because your company is bad — you're being ignored because they don't know you.

6+ months

is how long a typical pre-seed or seed raise takes when you're doing it alone. Most of that time is spent just trying to get meetings.

1 intro

from someone an investor trusts is worth more than 100 cold emails. The entire venture ecosystem runs on warm introductions.

How it works

Step 01

Tell us about your raise

Your company, your stage, your target investors. We learn what you're building and map the ideal investor profile for your round — who invests at your stage, in your sector, in your geography.

Step 02

We activate the right nodes

Nodes are hyper-networked operators, angels, and advisors who personally know the investors you need to meet. We match you with the nodes best positioned to open doors for your specific raise.

Step 03

Intro requests go out

Our nodes reach out to the investors in their network on your behalf. They share your company with investors they believe are a fit — not as a cold pitch, but as a personal recommendation from someone the investor trusts.

Step 04

Double opt-in intros happen

When an investor wants to meet you, the introduction is made — but only after both sides opt in. No one gets a cold email. No one gets blindsided. Every intro is mutual, respectful, and high-signal.

What you get

Curated investor matches

We don't blast your deck to everyone. Every investor is hand-matched to your stage, sector, and geography.

Warm intros only

Every introduction goes through someone the investor personally knows and trusts.

Steady intro cadence

New introductions go out every week. You're not waiting months for a single meeting.

Full pipeline visibility

See every intro, every meeting, every status update. You always know where things stand.

Round after round

When you're ready for your next raise, the network is already warm. We pick up right where we left off.

Aligned incentives

We take 1% equity. No retainers, no hourly fees. We only win when you win.

Our model

1%

of your company

No retainers. No hourly fees. We take 1% equity because we only win when you win. Our incentives are permanently aligned with yours.

We prefer to work with you early.

Before you've raised anything. Before you've incorporated. The earlier we start, the more value we can build together — from investor strategy to intro sequencing to round structure.

Pre-seed and seed.

MatCap works with founders raising pre-seed and seed rounds. This is where warm introductions matter most and where our network creates the biggest edge.
