MatCap
For pre-seed & seed founders

Get a warm intro to an investor.

MatCap helps founders raise through warm introductions. Instead of you cold-emailing, someone the investor already knows asks whether they'd like to meet you. When they say yes, we introduce you. Nothing to sign until you've met them.

Takes about five minutes. No equity, no agreement, nothing to sign.

How an intro happensExample
MatCap to an investor who knows us

Would you be open to meeting Dana? She's raising a pre-seed for payroll software for restaurants. Deck attached.

The investor replies

Yes, happy to meet her. Please connect us.

MatCap introduces you both

Dana, meet Sam. Sam, meet Dana. I'll let you two take it from here.

What MatCap is

A network of people investors already trust.

MatCap is a venture advisory firm. Our network is made up of operators, angels and investors who know VCs personally. When one of them asks an investor to meet you, it lands very differently from a cold email, and the investor only meets you if they want to.

How it works

From application to a meeting in your inbox.

1 · Apply

Tell us about your company

What you're building, your stage and your raise. It takes about five minutes.

2 · We match

We find investors who fit

We look for investors in our network who back your sector and stage, and who someone in our network knows personally.

3 · We ask

They decide first

We send an intro request on your behalf. You write nothing and chase nothing. The investor says whether they'd like to meet.

4 · You meet

A warm intro, then it's yours

When an investor says yes, we introduce you by email. You take the meeting from there.

How to start

Try it before you decide anything.

Your first intro

No agreement

We send intro requests until one investor says yes, then make that introduction. No equity, no agreement, nothing to sign.

If you want more

Join MatCap

We keep your investor pipeline full every week while you raise, with meeting prep and follow-ups handled. No cash fees: 1% equity.

Questions

Can you guarantee a meeting?

No one can. We control who we ask and how; the investor decides whether to meet. We keep asking until one says yes.

Does everyone who applies get an intro?

We read every application and start with founders we believe we can help. If we don't think our network fits your raise, we'll tell you.

What happens after the first intro?

It's your call. If you want us to keep going, you join MatCap. If not, that's completely fine and you owe us nothing.

Who is MatCap for?

Pre-seed and seed founders who are raising, or about to, and want warm introductions instead of cold outreach.

Meet an investor before you decide anything about us.
