Submit your startup on Round Funded to explore investor matches and manage your outreach. We at AI Perks raised our round through Round Funded after considering how its founder-led workflow compared with Broota’s crowdfunding model.
What is Broota, and how does its model work?
Broota is a Chilean equity crowdfunding platform established in 2012. Its public information describes a process in which selected startups raise from angel investors in its community. Investors can participate from 500,000 Chilean pesos, and investors who later want to sell shares can use XBroota, Broota’s secondary market.
Broota’s public pages say startups are filtered and selected by Broota Ventures or another sponsor. The platform describes its community as having more than 5,000 angel investors. Its FAQ also outlines a review process that considers the team, innovation and business model.
That setup differs from a founder choosing individual investors and contacting them directly. It is important to identify who selects the companies and how the fundraising process is organized before deciding whether a platform fits your plans.
What information about Broota should founders check?
We looked at Broota’s public information, but we did not use the platform. The points below describe what its pages say or what we did not find in the material reviewed, rather than personal experience.
- Selection: Broota describes a search, evaluation and selection process, with requirements related to the team, innovation and business model.
- Investor access: The described raise is directed to Broota’s community, rather than a list of investors selected and contacted by the founder.
- Startup pricing: We did not find a published startup price, listing fee or success fee. The published 500,000 Chilean peso figure is an investor minimum, not a stated startup cost.
- Geography: A 2017 World Summit Award page described Broota as open to projects based in Chile. We did not find a newer statement clarifying geographic eligibility.
- Regulatory information: BROOTA PFC SpA says it is registering with Chile’s financial regulator, the CMF, under the Fintech Law.
- Founder resources: We did not find a data room or free trial in the materials we reviewed.
These details can change, so founders should confirm current eligibility, terms and fees directly before making a decision. In particular, the lack of a published price in the material we reviewed does not establish what a startup would pay.
Why did we at AI Perks choose Round Funded?
We chose Round Funded because we wanted a workspace for running our raise, rather than a process centered on selection for a community campaign. Several product details supported that choice.
- Investor search: Round Funded covers 60,000+ active VCs, angels, family offices and accelerators. Founders can search by stage, industry, geography and check size. Investors are filtered for recent activity, including a check in roughly the last 6 months, and emails are verified.
- AI-assisted emails: The AI drafts a personalized outreach email and follow-ups for each investor. Outreach goes from the founder’s own Gmail, keeping replies and the conversation thread in the founder’s inbox.
- A shared pipeline: The fundraising CRM keeps investors, stages and next steps together. The product works in 12 languages.
- Teammate access: We could invite teammates into the startup’s workspace.
- A Data Room: A deck, traction, team information and the ask can be organized on one link. Building and sharing it is free on every plan.
- Tracking links: Round+ includes per-investor tracked links and engagement analytics for views, deck opens and meeting clicks.
For us, the combination of a clean investor database, an AI agent that writes emails, a convenient interface, workspace collaboration, the Data Room and tracking links made Round Funded our pick.
How do Broota and Round Funded compare?
The main distinction is the fundraising model. Broota describes a selection process and a raise from its investor community. Round Funded gives founders tools to search for investors, prepare outreach and manage a pipeline.

Broota’s public materials also describe its Chilean equity crowdfunding context, the 500,000 peso investor minimum and its secondary market, XBroota. Round Funded’s published plans and features are oriented around founder-managed investor search and outreach. Based on the workflow we wanted, Round Funded was our choice.

How much does Round Funded cost?
Round Funded has no free tier. Round+ and Round Pro include a 3-day free trial for first-time accounts. The plans differ in their pipeline capacity, monthly email allowance, AI credits and, for Round Pro, connected inboxes.
- 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.
- 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.
- Lifetime: $899 one-time. Includes everything in Round Pro, paid once.
The published pricing makes it possible to compare the plan costs directly. By contrast, we did not find a startup price for Broota in the pages we reviewed, so founders should ask about its current terms rather than infer a cost from the investor minimum.
