When we at AI Perks compared an angel investment network with an outbound fundraising workflow, we chose Round Funded to submit our startup, and raised our round through it. The clean investor database, AI-assisted emails, shared workspace, Data Room and tracking links suited the way we wanted to manage fundraising.
What does an angel investment network do?
Angel Investment Network is a platform where founders can publish a pitch and investors can browse opportunities. The company says it was founded in 2004 and connects investors with startups and businesses from different sectors. Its site describes filters for country, location, industry, stage, investment range and language, as well as messaging between founders and investors.
That listing-led approach differs from a searchable investor database used for direct outreach. With Round Funded, founders can search investors by stage, industry, geography and check size, then send pitches. Its coverage includes 60,000+ active VCs, angels, family offices and accelerators.
These are different ways to organize a fundraising process. A founder considering either route can ask whether they want to publish a pitch for investors to find, or identify investors and contact them directly.
How much does Angel Investment Network cost?
Angel Investment Network’s pages do not provide one clear price in the material described here. The available figures are third-party reports, rather than a published rate confirmed by the platform.
- A third-party review page reports a free 30-day listing followed by paid packages of roughly £149 to £2,499.
- A Trustpilot reviewer cited a monthly price of £179.
- A testimonial on Angel Investment Network’s site refers to paying extra for a “Featured” option and using “nudges” to engage investors.
Treat those amounts as reported examples, not a definitive pricing schedule. If pricing is central to your decision, check the current terms directly before committing.
Round Funded lists its subscription and one-time pricing. Round+ costs $99 a month, Round Pro costs $249 a month, and Lifetime costs $899 one-time. Round+ and Round Pro include a 3-day free trial for first-time accounts. There is no free tier.
What should founders compare before choosing?
The fundraising model is one useful distinction. Angel Investment Network centers on publishing a pitch for investors to browse. Round Funded supports searching its investor database, sending pitches and tracking replies. Outreach goes from the founder’s own Gmail, so replies arrive in the founder’s inbox and the email thread belongs to the founder.
The investor information also differs. Angel Investment Network says it serves startups and businesses from all sectors. Round Funded lists 60,000+ active VCs, angels, family offices and accelerators. Its search filters include stage, industry, geography and check size. Investors are filtered to recent activity, defined as a check in roughly the last 6 months, and emails are verified.
Pricing is another point to weigh. The Angel Investment Network amounts above are third-party reports, while Round Funded publishes its plan prices. The services also differ in how they handle campaign work: Round Funded includes an AI that drafts personalized outreach emails and follow-ups for each investor, plus a fundraising pipeline for organizing stages and next steps.
No single model fits every founder. We chose Round Funded because we wanted a clean investor database and a workflow that let us manage outreach, teammates and fundraising materials in one workspace.
Why did we choose Round Funded?
We at AI Perks raised our round through Round Funded. Several parts of the product informed our choice.
A clean investor database
We wanted investor search to be part of the workflow. Round Funded’s database covers 60,000+ active investors and accelerators, with filters for stage, industry, geography and check size. Its recent-activity filter and verified emails were also relevant to how we wanted to find potential investors.
An AI agent for email drafts
Round Funded’s AI drafts a personalized outreach email and follow-ups for each investor. The messages go out from the founder’s own Gmail account, keeping replies and the thread in the founder’s inbox.
A convenient interface for shared work
The fundraising pipeline brings investors, stages and next steps together in one place. We could also invite teammates into the startup’s workspace, which made it possible to work on the process together.
The Data Room and tracking links
Round Funded’s Data Room brings a deck, traction, team and ask together on one link. It is free to build and share on every plan. Round+ also includes per-investor tracked links and engagement analytics, including views, deck opens and meeting clicks.
If that workflow fits your needs, submit your startup on Round Funded to get matched with investors.
What does Round Funded include at each price?
