We're building PocketFund because the founders we grew up around — first-generation, second-city, first-time — were shipping world-class products but stuck emailing investor templates. We think the connective tissue between founders and capital should be a product, not a LinkedIn DM.
If a decision is good for founders and mildly inconvenient for us, we pick founders every time.
We would rather show an investor 5 great matches than 500 mediocre ones. Compounding ruthlessness on quality.
Every investor on PocketFund is verified. No scraped profiles, no pretend check sizes.
A pre-seed idea doesn't need a Series B investor. We tell the truth about stage fit.
Our matching signals are documented. Our pricing is one page. No mystery.
Great ideas are born in Pune, Nairobi, Jakarta and Berlin. We route capital to all of them.
Since launching in private beta, PocketFund has matched founders with $420M+ in committed capital across 22 countries. We're a small team, built from operators who've been on both sides of the table.
Every person on the PocketFund team has either raised a round, written a check, or both.
