For Investors

A curated pipeline
of Raise Ready founders.

Every founder we introduce has cleared a four-lens rubric — pitch, defensibility, risk, execution — scored against the same logic our partners apply in diligence. We send matched intros to your thesis — stage, sector, geography, check size. Pass freely. We earn our seat in your funnel.

Cost Comparison · Traditional vs PitchVault

How it works

From application to viability verdict in four steps.

Apply once. Set your mandate. We handle the rest. Your inbox contains the decisions worth making, not the screening you’d otherwise do by hand.

01

Apply & set your mandate

Stage, sector, score threshold. Application-only. Not an open directory.

02

Deal flow comes to you

Every founder in your network view has already cleared the visibility threshold. Bad deals are never visible to begin with.

03

Read scores, not decks

Four scores and a one-line verdict before you open a slide. Score history shows whether they did the work.

04

Request an intro. Talk directly.

Send an intro request. The founder responds. No intermediary.

VaultScore, VaultMoat and VaultOps: higher is stronger. VaultRisk is inverted — lower is the ceiling.

Two levels of access

What accreditation unlocks.

Every approved investor gets full analysis access. VaultScore™, VaultRisk™, VaultMoat™, VaultOps™, and VaultValuation™ on every deal. Some founders restrict their raise to verified accredited investors only. Those deals never appear in the standard network view. Accreditation is how you reach them.

Approved investor
Full access — everything
  • Scored deal flow leaderboard. All four signal summaries visible before you click.
  • Filter by stage, sector, raise amount, and score threshold
  • Full deep analysis on every deck. VaultScore™, VaultRisk™, VaultMoat™, VaultOps™.
  • VaultValuation™ (beta). Stress-test the raise before your first meeting.
  • Send intro requests. Founders respond directly.
  • See founder iteration: lenses cleared, current Action Plan status, and deck version trajectory.
  • Accelerator Deals. Browse graduated cohorts from PitchVault-partnered programs, each pre-scored and curated by the program manager.
Accredited investor
+ Founder-exclusive deals
  • Everything in approved investor access
  • Founder-exclusive deals. Some founders restrict their deal flow to verified accredited investors only.
  • Accreditation badge visible to founders. Signals seriousness and increases response rate on intro requests.
  • First access to restricted opportunities before they open to the broader network

Verified through Parallel Markets (US) or equivalent qualified investor frameworks. Upload your accreditation certificate from your investor profile after approval.

Common questions

How is this different from AngelList or a deal directory?+

Every company is scored before it is visible to you. There is no cold inbound and no raw directory browsing. Your network view only contains founders who cleared the visibility threshold.

What are the criteria for investor approval?+

Active investing at pre-seed or seed stage, with a defined thesis. Every application is reviewed manually. This is not an open signup.

What if a founder I want to reach isn't on PitchVault?+

You can refer them. They score for free. You see the result.

You shouldn’t be the one filtering out founders who aren’t ready.
That’s already been done.

Applications reviewed within 48 hours. Access is intentionally limited to keep deal flow quality high. Founders in the network have earned their way there.
