Planning to raise VC money?

I built Seedstr.app as a side-project while doing the same. It probably saved me weeks of grunt work. It started as an internal tool and morphed into this app.

What is it for?

Seedstr helps you find & reach VCs who are aligned with what you're building.

What does it do?

It reads your raise materials and scores them against a database of 400+ early-stage venture capital firms. It's an AI reasoning pass for each firm - not keyword search.

How does scoring work?

Each firm gets an overall score plus factor scores across five dimensions: thesis, stage, geography, check size, and firm activity / recency.

How much does it cost?

It's free to sign up, run a scan, and see the full ranked list of 400+ VCs, tailored to your raise.

Insights about which partner to approach (incl. contact where available) are free for the first 8 top-matching firms.

After that, partner playbooks + contacts is about $1.50 per firm (b/c tokens cost $$$).

Can I try it?

Yes. App is invite-only at the moment (to preserve capacity / quality), but this code lets first 100 register and awards 100 ($10 USD) in credits:
