Hi guys, Thank you for checking out GlassDollar. The process of fundraising can be quite rough for early-stage start-ups: finding out who to talk to and how to reach them is a time-consuming nightmare for many founders. We wanted to change that, and so enter GlassDollar. Thanks to aggregated data, GlassDollar’s database of Angel investors and VCs is ultra complete. Search for investors by entering your start-up’s industry, location and the investment you need. Our algorithm sorts through thousands of results to bring you investors that are most likely to invest in your start-up. Our investor cards display data points like funds left for new investments, recent investment activity, ticket size analysis and links to partners’ LinkedIn profiles - all designed to make qualifying investors easier than ever. Add investors to your Favorites and export your investor shortlist. Over 100 founders are using GlassDollar this way every day. We’re now taking things a step further and turning the fundraising game upside-down. We want to enable founders to be found by investors instead of having to search for them. We’ve started connecting start-ups to top investors – for free. Upload your pitch deck once, and get contacted every time there’s an investor match. What do you guys think? Do you know someone who could save time by using GlassDollar? What else would be useful to you when fundraising? Excited to learn from your feedback. I’m sticking around, so if you have any questions please just comment below 👇

@fabian_dudek love the tool! Just sent it to a client who's getting ready to raise, it should save her a ton of time. I assume you're intentionally playing off of GlassDoor, what was the thought process there?

@andrewaskins thank you very much! Saving time so your client can "create" is the goal. Yes indeed. We started GlassDollar as a side project with the goal of "creating a Glassdoor for investors". However, collecting a critical mass of high-quality reviews seemed like an objective that required more trust and share of mind from founders. So we focused on what we could do well now "help founders discover investors to talk to".

@fabian_dudek I can't find any info on your site concerning the cost for being listed as an investor. Clicking on the "Add Investors" link doesn't provide any information in that regard. Could you clarify this? Thanks!

Hey @franckinjapan. At the moment we are fully focused to build something founders and investors love. So it is free for now :) Eventually, we see investors paying for leads they receive... There is however always the opportunity to contribute via the little "contribute" button in the bottom left corner. :)

This is super interesting, and really timely! Definitely a painful process for founders. Particularly in the earliest stages. I definitely echo the struggle with matching for relevancy—a gap that I really think should be filled. Will take it for a spin!

@fabian_dudek Don't want to speak pre-maturely, but some realtime feedback would be: It's a little tricky to identify which companies these investors (that GlassDollar has matched me with) have invested in at a quick glance. For me, I think I'm lacking trust in the "100%" or "90%" match and would love to see quickly "oh yeah, they put money into X company that is parallel to us". Does that make sense? Having said that, I have no idea how you could accomplish that on the initial card view lol. Maybe a hover over the company logo to get a richer snippet?

@chrisbuttenham I understand what you mean. So the "matching investments" logos do not do the trick for you? Maybe by connecting to social accounts we could figure out which portfolio companies you know ... thought that might be a stretch ... Will think about it. Thx Gotta say we worked for quite a bit on the card layout... really interesting design challenge actually :)

@fabian_dudek That would definitely be interesting! But I can only imagine the design challenge this was. Amazing beta! :)

Very useful resource to get familiar with the early-stage funding landscape. Certainly a must-have for any startup founder. I love the feature that estimates the funds left for investment for each VCs: great way to prioritize your investors short-list

There isn't a comprehensive, up-to-date place to discover and search for investors (it's something we should really offer at AngelList). Someone recently forwarded me this Google spreadsheet with hundreds of seed stage funds, which is a good illustration of the market demand + lack of a proper solution.

@rrhoover Spotting google sheets/scattered documents is a really nice "framework" to identify market demand + lack of proper solutions.

@rrhoover Thanks for your comment. I agree completely! In the process of building GlassDollar we have encountered many of these crowdsourced lists of investors. https://docs.google.com/spreadsh... We also define their existence as a clear indication of the pain founders experience while fundraising.
