When we at AI Perks compared Finta with Round Funded, we chose Round Funded to get matched with investors for our raise. Its investor database, AI-written outreach, team workspace, Data Room and tracking links matched the work we needed to do.
We raised our round through Round Funded. We looked at Finta as another option, but this comparison is based on what Finta publishes and why we selected Round Funded. We did not use Finta, so we cannot speak to a hands-on experience with it.
What is Finta, and what is it designed to do?
Finta describes itself as an AI relationship intelligence workspace for founders and other relationship-led teams. Its product brings together an inbox, CRM and network mapping, rather than focusing only on fundraising.
According to its published materials, users connect Gmail or Outlook so Finta can map relationships from inbox and calendar activity, including second-degree connections. Its AI feature, Aurora, produces research and briefs, while a Today view surfaces inbox and follow-up items.
Fundraising is one of several stated uses. Finta also presents the product for sales, partnerships and advisory work. That broader focus is useful context when comparing the two products: Finta describes a workspace for managing relationships across different kinds of work, while Round Funded is designed around finding investors, sending pitches and tracking replies.
What did we prioritize when choosing a fundraising tool?
Our decision came down to the needs of a fundraising workflow, not a claim that we tested both products. At AI Perks, the features that mattered were:
- A searchable investor database, with information on recent activity.
- AI assistance for drafting investor emails and follow-ups.
- A convenient fundraising pipeline that teammates could access.
- A Data Room for sharing core fundraising materials.
- Per-investor links and engagement tracking.
We chose Round Funded because it offered the combination we wanted for our raise. Its database covers 60,000+ active VCs, angels, family offices and accelerators. Founders can search by stage, industry, geography and check size. Investors are filtered to a check in roughly the last 6 months, and emails are verified.
The workflow also brings investor records, fundraising stages and next steps together in one pipeline. Teammates can be invited into the startup’s workspace. That setup fit the way we wanted to organize the raise, alongside the AI email drafting and sharing tools.
How do Finta and Round Funded differ for fundraising?
The products have different stated scopes. Finta centers on relationship intelligence across an inbox, CRM and network map, with fundraising among its use cases. Round Funded’s stated purpose is to help founders find investors, send pitches and track replies.
That difference matters when deciding what to compare. Finta’s published pages do not state an investor database size or a recency filter. Round Funded, by contrast, lists 60,000+ active investors and filters for recent activity. Its investor records include verified email addresses.
Their email workflows are also described differently. Finta connects with Gmail or Outlook to map relationships. Round Funded uses AI to draft a personalized outreach email and follow-ups for each investor. Outreach is sent from the founder’s own Gmail, so replies arrive in the founder’s inbox and the email thread belongs to the founder.
For managing a raise, Round Funded provides a fundraising pipeline with stages, plus a Data Room that can hold a deck, traction, team information and the ask on one link. The Data Room is free to build and share on every plan. Per-investor tracked links and engagement analytics, including views, deck opens and meeting clicks, come with Round+.
We chose Round Funded for our fundraising workflow. Founders can submit a startup on Round Funded and review the matching process for themselves.
How much do Finta and Round Funded cost?
Finta’s entry plan is listed at $200 per month. Its published pricing also lists 2,000 Aurora credits that reset monthly and a 7-day trial. Finta’s pricing page describes displayed plans as 12-month relationships billed monthly, while its homepage says cancel anytime, so founders may want to confirm the terms directly.
Round Funded has three paid options:
| Plan | Price | Included limits and trial |
|---|---|---|
| Round+ | $99 a month | Up to 2,500 investors in the CRM pipeline, email up to 2,000 investors a month, and 2,500 AI credits a month. First-time accounts get a 3-day free trial. |
| Round Pro | $249 a month | Up to 5,000 investors in the pipeline, email up to 10,000 investors a month, up to 6 connected inboxes, and 5,000 AI credits a month. First-time accounts get a 3-day free trial. |
| Lifetime | $899 one-time | Everything in Round Pro, paid once. |
There is no free tier. The Data Room can still be built and shared for free on every plan. Round+ includes per-investor tracked links and engagement analytics. Founders can apply to explore Round Funded’s plans. For our choice, the pricing and fundraising features together made Round Funded the better fit for our needs.
Why did AI Perks choose Round Funded?
We raised our round through Round Funded because its features aligned with the practical parts of fundraising we wanted to manage in one place. We valued its clean investor database, an AI agent that writes emails, a convenient interface, the ability to invite teammates, a Data Room and tracking links.
That is our reason for choosing it, not a claim that every founder has the same needs. A founder looking for a broader relationship workspace may weigh product scope differently. But for our fundraising workflow, Round Funded was our pick over Finta.
