Cold outreach is inefficient
for both sides of the table.

The way founders currently reach investors wastes time for everyone. Vetrn fixes the matching problem at the source.

Cold emails go nowhere

Most cold outreach to VCs never gets a response — not because the company isn’t good, but because it was sent to the wrong fund at the wrong time without the right context.

No signal on thesis fit before you pitch

Founders spend hours preparing for meetings with funds who were never going to invest — wrong stage, wrong sector, wrong check size. You don’t know until you’re already in the room.

You arrive as a cold deck

When a VC receives your deck, they know nothing about you. Every meeting starts from zero — re-explaining context that could have been established in advance.

Fundraising steals founder time

The average seed fundraise takes 3–6 months of active effort. Most of that time is sourcing and qualifying leads that should have been pre-filtered.

No feedback on why you’re not getting meetings

When outreach doesn’t convert, founders rarely know why. Is it the deck? The stage? The sector? The thesis fit? Vetrn makes that visible before you approach anyone.

Warm intros are a lottery

Access to investors shouldn’t depend on who you know. Vetrn creates a direct, structured channel between founders and funds — based on fit, not network proximity.

Upload once. Get matched
to the right funds automatically.

The founder flow is designed to be as frictionless as possible. Here’s what happens after you submit your deck.

01

Create your founder account and upload your deck

Sign up for a free founder account. Upload your pitch deck in any format — PDF or PPTX. That’s the only thing you need to provide to enter the Vetrn deal flow. The rest is automated.

02

Vedi and Vetra run automatically on your startup

Once your deck is uploaded, Vetrn automatically triggers Vedi (company intelligence) and Vetra (sector intelligence) on your startup. 40–50 specialised agents research your company and its sector simultaneously — building the same institutional-grade intelligence profile that VC analysts would spend days producing manually.

03

See your own thesis-fit score — before any investor does

Vetrn shows you how your startup scores against the investment theses of funds in the network before you’re introduced to anyone. You’ll see whether your fit is Strong, Partial, or Weak for each fund — and understand the specific gaps. This means you can refine your positioning or focus your energy on the funds where the fit is already strong.

04

You appear in matched funds’ “Recommended Deals” dashboard

The Vetrn matching engine benchmarks your startup against every active fund thesis in the network — scoring alignment on stage, sector, check size, and strategic fit. High-fit matches appear directly in the relevant fund’s Recommended Deals view, pre-loaded with your full Vedi and Vetra intelligence. You arrive as a researched deal, not a cold deck.

05

When a fund expresses interest, Vetrn makes the introduction

If a fund adds your deal to their active pipeline, Vetrn sends an automated introduction email connecting you and the investor. From there, the conversation happens directly between you and the fund team. The introduction is warm, the context is already established, and both sides know it’s a relevant conversation before it begins.

You arrive pre-researched.
Not a cold deck.

When a fund sees your deal in their Recommended Deals dashboard, they don’t see just your pitch deck. They see a fully researched, thesis-benchmarked intelligence package — built automatically from your deck.

Thesis Fit Analysis

How you score against their specific mandate

The fund sees exactly where your startup fits or gaps against their investment thesis — sector alignment, stage, check size, and strategic fit — with explicit reasoning. Not a generic score. A reasoned, thesis-specific assessment.

Vedi Report

Deep company intelligence — already done

The full Vedi output — team validation, competitive landscape, market sizing, traction signals, unit economics, risk matrix — is pre-loaded on your deal. The analyst’s first few days of research are already complete before you speak.

Vetra Report

Independent sector analysis — already run

Vetra’s sector intelligence — industry evolution, competitive density, regulatory landscape, capital flow trends, exit environment — is included. The fund gets an objective view of your market that isn’t shaped by your narrative.

Match Score

A clear relevance signal — before any call

The fund sees an overall match score for your deal — combining thesis alignment, stage fit, and sector relevance into a single, reasoned signal. They know before the first meeting whether this is a relevant conversation. So do you.

Matched on thesis fit.
Not on network proximity.

The Vetrn matching engine benchmarks your startup against every active fund thesis in the network simultaneously. Every dimension that matters is scored — not just “they invest in fintech” but whether your stage, model, check expectation, and strategic direction actually align with how they invest.

The result: you reach fewer investors, but they’re the ones who should actually be talking to you. That’s how you get to a decision faster.

Stage scoring

Pre-seed through Series B parameters matched precisely — not approximated by round label alone.

Sector & sub-sector alignment

Sector classification goes beyond broad verticals to sub-sector matching against each fund’s specific focus areas.

Check size fit

Your expected raise is matched against each fund’s typical check size and portfolio construction parameters.

Strategic preference alignment

Geographic focus, B2B vs B2C preference, deep tech vs distribution models — all factored into the match score.

Know before you pitch.
Not after you didn’t convert.

Vetrn gives you visibility into how you score against each fund’s thesis before any introduction is made. Here’s what each classification means.

STRONG FIT

High-priority match for this fund

Your stage, sector, model, and strategic direction align closely with the fund’s active investment mandate. These are the conversations most likely to progress. Focus your energy here.

PARTIAL FIT

Some alignment, some gaps

The fund invests in your space but one or more dimensions — stage, check size, geography, or strategic model — sits at the edge of their mandate. Worth pursuing if you understand the specific gaps and can address them.

WEAK FIT

Not a productive conversation right now

The fundamental parameters don’t align with this fund’s current mandate. A meeting is unlikely to convert regardless of how the pitch goes. Better to spend that time on Strong and Partial fits.

You see your fit scores before any investor does

Founders using Vetrn get visibility into their thesis-fit scores across the fund network before any introductions are made. This means you can understand where the gaps are, decide whether to address them, and focus your energy on the funds where the fit is already strong — rather than discovering misalignment after an unproductive meeting.
