Investors and Capital · Module

Capital on the record your program runs on

Most investor databases are scraped, so they only hold what’s already public. Here, investors will find founders through the programs they belong to, where many deals begin. Today the module is a searchable investor database. Coming soon: Matching and Pipeline.

Before we touch price, I want to see how buyers react to per-pick vs. a flat monthly fee. Can you run five interviews with the warehouses in the pilot?

Sarah Chen

On it. Two are already booked for Thursday. Sharing the current price page so you can see what they are reacting to.

02 · Who it’s for

For your organization

For your organization

Deal flow with each founder’s history behind it, and a portfolio view that doesn’t need rebuilding every quarter.

For your founders

For your founders

Help raising, from people who can already see what they’ve built.

For investors

For investors

Investors will search founders by thesis and track live deals in a pipeline.

03 · Every side of it

What each side gets

For programs

For programs

Capital outcome tracking

You usually hear about a founder’s raise secondhand, months after it happens. The Operator Layer will let you add your own investors, assign them to founders and track each raise against the founder who made it.

  • Your own investors in the system, assigned to your founders

  • Readiness across the whole cohort in one view

  • Each raise recorded against the founder who made it

  • Capital totals that match the rest of your reports

For investors

For investors

Deal flow screened by your thesis

Most investors work from the same public data. You will search founders by stage, check size and vertical, keep a watch list for companies that are too early, and run live deals on one board.

  • Founders visible from the program they’re standing in

  • Screened on stage, check size and vertical

  • A watch list that notifies you when a company hits your criteria

  • A Kanban pipeline in the same system as the deal flow

For founders

For founders

Search investors today, with raise tracking to follow

Search investors today, in the same system as your program. Matching to your profile and a pipeline from first contact to committed will follow.

  • Investors matched against your profile

  • One board from prospect to committed

  • Starts from the profile you’ve already built for the program

  • No separate fundraising tool sitting outside everything else

The comparison

Why teams choose Startup Science over the alternatives

Usually the competition is a dozen tools bought at different times. None were built for this work, and they don’t talk to each other.

What matters

Startup Science

Other tools

One record across everything

✓

✕ Every tool holds its own version of the same person

One flat price, unlimited seats

✓

✕ Priced per seat, so growing costs more

Built for the early-stage economy

✓

✕ Borrowed from software made for another industry

Founders, advisors and providers on one platform

✓

✕ Each side in a different system, or in none

Reporting from live data

✓

✕ Rebuilt by hand from exports, every quarter

Your brand end to end

✓

✕ Their brand, with your logo in a corner

Month to month

✓

✕ Annual contracts and quote-only pricing

Migration and orientation included

✓

✕ A migration fee, or no migration path at all

“Other tools” means the dozen or so separate products a program usually ends up running side by side.
