Pivoted framing, raised $7M

"What shocked me most was the benchmark data. FundFocus told me my traction metrics were 'bottom 30% for Series A in my category'. I'd never heard of that had just been a wake-up call. I pivoted my deck to lead with a different metric one that was actually top 10%. Night and day difference."

James
Co-Founder
Raised $7M Series A
3 term sheets from 12 pitches

"I spent 8 months pitching 60+ VCs and got 60 rejections. Then I tried FundFocus. It told me my financial model was 'Series A-grade' but my GTM slide was 'the weakest in my category.' I fixed it in a weekend. My next 12 pitches led to 3 term sheets. I raised in 6 weeks."

Founder
Raised $5.2M Series A
Closed with Northzone in 3 weeks

"The VC matching alone is worth 10× the subscription price. FundFocus matched me with Northzone a fund I'd never heard of that had just closed a new fund and was actively looking for exactly what I was building. We closed in 3 weeks. My advisors were stunned."

From 61 → 84 in one week

"FundFocus completely changed how I approach fundraising. I uploaded my deck on Tuesday, got a score of 61, followed the fix list, re-uploaded Friday scored 84. Two weeks later I had term sheets from investors that the platform matched me with. This is not a coincidence."

Marcus
CEO & Co-Founder
Raised $2.2M Seed
Pre-seed closed in 40 days

"I'm not a storyteller I'm an engineer. FundFocus showed me exactly where my narrative was breaking down. The 'Investor Perspective' section was uncomfortable to read, but that's exactly what I needed. Raised our pre-seed in 40 days."
