A current company record creates better conversations.

Startup teams control what they publish. Investors keep their criteria, notes, and decisions private. FoundMatter connects the two only where the underlying facts, fit, and permission support it.

No pay-to-rank. No black-box score. No contact without the required permission.

  1. Startup maintains its profile
  2. Facts, sources, freshness
  3. Investor decides based on its mandate

Different jobs. A shared standard of evidence.
