Success stories from our funded startups
Amsterdam, The Netherlands
Elias van der Linden
Founder at Toot
E-commerce
Why did you choose Pitchdrive?
Sourcing angel investors was taking up 80% of my time as a founder, which was slowing our business down too much. Pitchdrive took away this pain and brought together a group of relevant active investors.
What was the biggest change working with Pitchdrive compared to traditional fundraising methods?
I felt like the terms were very transparent and founder-friendly as the contracts are standardised. They helped me out with our questions about the contracts and it felt like they were 'in our corner' to an extent to drive a win-win deal.

Founder at Rift Pay
Fintech
Why did you choose Pitchdrive?
They understood the concept way better than any VC I spoke to, they asked the hard questions and their experience with finance especially made me believe we were picking the right platform.
What was the biggest change working with Pitchdrive compared to traditional fundraising methods?
Most VC’s have this 2–3 week period of first communication, but with Pitchdrive it was about a day or two which was crazy. I pitched Rift Pay to them and it picked up from there! It was the smoothest process for a founder you could imagine, especially considering the speed they bring.

Can I come back and resume building my profile?
Yes you can, just hit save at any point while building your profile and you can return later to resume where you left off. In fact, the best profiles are built this way - it’s usually best to start with a rough first version then return to finetune it.We hit our funding goal, can we still raise more?
