Five steps to autonomous
deal flow
Roundly replaces cold emails, marketplace noise, and manual sourcing with an autonomous matching engine that connects founders and VCs by fit, not by volume.
VCs create their investor profile
Set it and forget it
Investors sign up and define their investment thesis — preferred stages (Pre-Seed through Growth), target sectors (AI, SaaS, Climate, Fintech, etc.), check-size range, and geographies. This becomes their matching filter. No browsing needed.
Founders submit fundraise rounds
Structured signal, not pitch deck spam
Founders create a profile and submit their active fundraise. They add structured data: stage, raising amount, sector tags, geography, traction summary, and optionally a pitch deck. This structured signal is what the matching engine uses.
The matching engine scores fit
Algorithm, not guesswork
Every day, Roundly's algorithm compares each VC's thesis against all active rounds. It scores on four dimensions: sector similarity (Jaccard index), check-size range overlap, stage alignment, and recency. Only deals passing all hard filters make the cut.
Daily digest emails go out at dawn
Top 5 deals, every morning
Each morning, every active VC receives a personalized email digest with their top-matched deals. Each deal is presented as a card with company name, stage, traction, sectors, and a link to the pitch deck. Clean, scannable, and actionable.
VCs express interest — founders get notified
One click to connect
When a VC sees a deal they like, they tap 'Interested' right from the email. The founder is notified instantly with the investor's name, firm, title, and thesis. No cold email needed — the introduction is made, and both sides can take the conversation from there.
The matching algorithm
Roundly's engine scores every VC-round pair on four dimensions, then ranks the top matches for each investor.
Sector Similarity
45%Jaccard index between VC's target sectors and the round's sector tags. Measures true overlap, not keyword matching.
Check-Size Fit
30%How well the round's raising amount falls within the VC's check-size range. Perfect overlap = full score.
Recency Boost
25%Newer rounds get a freshness boost. Ensures VCs see the latest deals first, not stale listings.
Hard Filters (Must Match)
Stage Alignment
Round stage must overlap with VC's preferred stages. No seed deal reaches a growth-only investor.
Geography Match
Round's geography must overlap with VC's target regions. US founders match US-focused VCs.
