Intro accepted, contacts shared
Deal room & diligence
Investment tracked

Startups pitch from the public register; investors accept or decline. An accepted pitch shares contact details both ways and opens a tracked deal room — documents and diligence in one place.

All four registers are public. Startups can apply, pitch and request mentorship after creating an account.
