MatCap nodes are the connectors who make warm introductions happen. You get access to our full portfolio of founders and use your investor relationships to open doors on their behalf.
A node is anyone with meaningful investor relationships who wants to use them to help founders raise capital. You see our full founder portfolio and facilitate warm introductions to the investors you know personally.
CTOs, VPs, and founders who built companies and maintain strong relationships with the investors who funded them.
Active angel investors and advisors embedded in the venture ecosystem who sit across multiple cap tables.
Hyper-networked students at top programs and associates at firms who know the right people and want to build a track record as a connector.
As a node, you get access to every founder in the MatCap portfolio. Browse companies, stages, and sectors — and decide which founders you can help.
When you see a founder who fits an investor you know personally, you facilitate the warm introduction. Just bcc us so we can track all intro communications.
Every successful introduction builds your reputation at MatCap and in venture broadly. Compensation may be considered once enterprise value is created.
Run a one-time scan from the node portal. It shows which investors you actually have a relationship with — who you meet one-on-one, who you keep seeing — and who you met once at an event. You pick the ones you'd make intros to. Nothing joins your network unless you add it.
We ask Google to view events on calendars you own and your email address. The node scan also asks for your email headers — who wrote to whom, and when — never what the emails say. We read the last two years once, never change anything, and give up access the moment the scan finishes.
We store the investors we find — name, email, firm — and how often you've met or written back and forth. Everyone else, every event title and every email subject is dropped when the scan ends. We use AI (Anthropic's Claude) only to help tell investors apart from everyone else.
A relationship counts only once you confirm it, and you can remove it anytime. We never sell this data, use it for advertising, or use it to train AI models. Privacy policy →
"I run my school's founder community and know a dozen VCs through events and office hours. MatCap lets me turn those relationships into real value for founders I believe in. I'm building a reputation as a connector before I even graduate."
"I see hundreds of companies at my fund but we can only invest in a few. MatCap gives me a way to help the founders we pass on by connecting them with investors at other firms who are a better fit. It strengthens all my relationships."
See every founder MatCap is working with. You decide who you can help based on your relationships.
Make the intro and bcc us. We track every communication so you get credit for the connections you make.
Be known as the person who opens doors. In venture, that reputation compounds — and MatCap tracks every intro you facilitate.
You see companies before most investors do. If you angel invest, this is a built-in sourcing advantage.
No minimum intros, no quotas. Help when you can, pass when you can't. This is your network — use it on your terms.
You're not freelancing. You're operating as part of MatCap — a venture advisory firm with a portfolio, a process, and a reputation.
