Flowlie is the first all-in-one Fundraising Hub for early stage founders to plan their rounds, prepare their outreach, discover new investors, create investment materials, and manage their fundraise.
Flowlie is an incredible new tool for founders to manage their fundraising process. Love the way the product is developing as not just a great deck sharing platform, but also a home base to manage your process, research new investors, and help you close your deal.
Mark and Vlad are a pleasure to work with. They're extremely responsive, always open to product feedback, and I've already seen my feedback result in product improvements. Easy 5 stars.
Hey everyone - we’re thrilled to launch a product today for our fellow founders, creators, and builders ⛏️. Introducing the Fundraising Hub, a copilot that helps founders close rounds faster.
✍️ Our Story: “why we made it”
Fundraising is brutal - we know from experience. It’s overwhelming and insanely time consuming, with the average fundraise taking 6 months and up to 2/3rd’s of a founder’s time.
It’s never been a more exciting time to be in tech - founders from every corner of the planet 🌎 are building game-changing products. But when it comes to fundraising, entrepreneurs often struggle with implementing the right process, communicating their message, and finding the right partners. As a result, many founders end up in an endless fundraising loop that prevents them from working on the actual business.
We believe the next generation of world-class companies will be built by diverse, underrepresented, digitally-native, data-driven founders, many of whom reside outside of major tech hubs without pre-existing investor networks.
It’s time those disruptors have access to software that can help them with one of the most pressing challenges they face each year. Flowlie’s Fundraising Hub is an AI-enabled fundraising copilot that guides founders through their fundraising & business-building journeys.
🎯 Target audience: “who we made it for”
Early stage, often technical founders with limited or no VC network. 80% of our users are pre-seed / seed founders raising from angels, family offices, and VCs. 75% of our users are first-time founders (but we also have 5x founders).
✅ Key Features: “how we do it”
🛠️ Round builder: from how much to raise to what's the right valuation, planning a round can be overwhelming. Design your fundraise with a guided round builder that defines common terminology, forecasts your dilution, and suggests best practices.
🤖 Deck management & AI deck analyzer (in beta): put your deck to the test before sharing it with investors with our AI-powered deck reviewer giving you slide-by-slide improvement suggestions from content to design.
👏Fundraising coaching (in beta): generate effective company descriptions, improve your elevator pitch, and more with Flowlie's AI.
📄 One-pager builder: show investors exactly what they need to see to make decisions faster with a standardized one-pager template that organizes company details, round information, founder backgrounds, traction, product demos, and decks into a digestible format.
👨💼 📈 Personalized investor database: jumpstart your fundraise by researching investors who are a good fit for you and crafting the perfect outreach message using our AI auto-compose feature (AI auto-compose coming soon).
👁️👣 View tracking: track every time an investor looks at your investment materials, know when to follow up, and learn about their investment preferences and behavior.
Whether you’re an entrepreneur yourself or know a founder, give the gift of fundraising clarity by supporting and sharing our launch! And most importantly, please let us know what else you’d like to see from Flowlie’s Fundraising Hub!
Thank you,
Mark & Vlad

This seems really useful, I wish I had an all-in-one solution when I fundraised for my first startup... would have saved so much time and headaches having to deal with multiples tools.
Just two questions: is it an investment marketplace that allows investors to reach out to me directly? And do you handle the transfer of the funds too?
@giovanni_ilacqua appreciate your interest in what we're doing! It is not a marketplace; we don't match founders with investors and there is no sourcing component or ability for investors to discover startups on Flowlie. We also don't handle transfer of funds.
Instead, think of it as a copilot that helps you manage all of the tasks pre-transaction, such as determining the terms of your fundraise, improving your pitch and deck, identifying investors to reach out to, sharing materials with those investors via a secure link, getting feedback on your value prop and positioning, etc. While we do have an investor database for you to identify great fit investors, it is up to you to reach out to them. Your deck & one-pager are only shared with those investors you choose to share them with.
I hope this helps clarify, but please let me know if you have any follow up questions.

@mark_bugas Got it, that makes a lot of sense. Thanks!
@giovanni_ilacqua Great question, Giovanni! Thank you for your support!

this is brilliant stuff! super helpful for founders! Great job to the Team @ Flowlie. Does you also have an option for getting a meeting/intro to VCs via a warm network?
@uma_venugopal thanks for the feedback - that's wonderful to hear! To answer your question, we do have a "Intro Path" feature within the Investor Database. The more you share your FlowLink with investors, the more intro paths will be surfaced. Let me know if that helps answer your question!
Awesome! Would be really cool if it had a bulk pitch uploader. All the VCs has google forms on their website where they as questions and then you get to upload your pitch at the end. But it takes forever to this over and over 😂 I gave up after 10 😅
@sentry_co SO true - we've all been there. This is very much top of mind - we want to make it as easy as possible for founders to submit form fills to funders and accelerators. We'll let you know as soon as we have a prototype for this and would love to hear your thoughts!
@mark_bugas They all ask the same questions so should be doable with some scripting and GPT prowess 💪 ... unless the vc's fight back with a captcha 😂 and we are back to step 1 again 😅
@sentry_co this spot on! Super valuable feedback. Thank you for elaborating. I have spent WAY too many hours of my life submitting the same info on different VC websites
@mark_bugas@sentry_co This is a great idea, we may be able to do it even better & faster by leveraging the data from Flowlie. Something that will be brought into the product discussion for next week. Thanks for the feedback!

@mark_bugas@sentry_co@caz_vlad i recently saw a local company offer a browser plugin to quickly fill in insurance rate request forms. Perhaps a similar concept can apply
Hi Mark, I love the approach to the subject.
May I ask you a couple of questions?
1. are the investors in your database more distributed in certain regions (US, Europe, etc.) or are they distributed globally?
2. what area of fundraising intervention are you most effective in? Pre-seed? Seed? Round A? Next Rounds?
Thanks and congratulations again for the launch and for the amazing platform, super useful for Founders!
All the best 💪
@janosch_lenzi1 fantastic questions! We currently have the best coverage in North America and UK, but are expanding the database to reflect our global user base (there are over 70 countries currently represented by founders on the platform). We also take requests on regional coverage - let us know what would be most helpful to you!
Roughly 80% of our user base are raising angel, pre-seed or seed rounds. The next most common stage is Series A, and we have representation from Series B and C companies too, though to a lesser extent. We're primarily focused on the earliest stages of capital raising, from angel rounds to Series A.
@itsahmednaggar As always, appreciate your support Ahmed! It's been an absolute pleasure working with you and we're glad to have helped with your fundraising process.
@erburgess Fantastic. Why don't we book some time for a free fundraising consultation? Just click 'visit' to go to our landing page and book using the CTA on the website. We don't have a predetermined discount for PBCs but would be very happy to discuss you being the first!
