How It Works

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.

Step 01

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.

Stages: Pre-Seed, Seed, Series A, B, C, GrowthCheck size: $50K to $50M+ range sliderSectors: 20+ categories, multi-selectGeographies: US, EU, Asia, Global, etc.

Step 02

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.

Step 03

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.

Step 04

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.

Step 05

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.

Under the Hood

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.
