Raised $120m for my first startup.
What's the story behind your company?
With my first startup, I raised $120m across six venture rounds, and learned how the fundraising process was massively broken and inefficient. With Metal, I am building the infrastructure layer for fundraising that I wish had existed when I was raising venture rounds. Equipped with industry data and context on the user's Company, our vertical AI platform brings intelligence and efficiency to the core workflows in the raise process.
Why are you excited about your company/product?
With 1m+ founders entering the fundraising arena every year, Metal is serving a market that is deeply underserved and is proliferating in size.
