  What are the benefits of raising a Pitchdrive round?

  
  

  Raising money through Pitchdrive from angel investors has all the benefits of a ‘traditional angel round’, except with us you don’t have to put your promising startup on hold for months and transition to the full time job of ‘fundraiser’ to land your funds. We conduct the entire process on standardised founder-friendly documents and everything is handled online - no more visits to the notary!

  What is the process for founders?

  
  

  Start off by creating your account here, then fill out your Pitchdrive profile to highlight the most critical and impressive aspects of your startup. When your profile is ready, we’ll do a call together to refine your message (being startup investors ourselves, we’ve seen a lot of pitches!) Once your profile is approved you’ll go live to investors and you can follow your progress and answer questions from interested investors on your funding status page.

  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.

  First of all, congratulations! Choosing to go further and extend your investment target is very common in the fundraising world. In Pitchdrive if you hit your target and decide you are open to allowing a few more investors to get involved, you can agree an Overdrive amount to extend your fundraising - the investments made in this phase function in exactly the same way as your regular fundraising.

  Who has access to my data?

  
  

  We take data access very seriously - Pitchdrive is designed from the ground up so that your startup is presented to the most relevant sets of eyes, never public. Only verified investors who have been accepted into the Pitchdrive platform and who have been matched with your startup will be presented your profile.
