1752vc describes itself as a venture firm and accelerator, while Round Funded helps founders find investors, send pitches, and track replies. We at AI Perks looked at 1752vc and chose to submit our startup on Round Funded because its investor database, AI email agent, shared workspace, Data Room, and tracking links fit how we wanted to manage our raise.
What does 1752vc offer founders?
1752vc, formerly Pegasus Accelerator, is based in Santa Monica and presents itself as both a venture firm and an accelerator. Its founder offerings include programs called Accelerate, Ignite, GTM Accelerator, and Launchpad. It also offers founder tools: a Pitch Deck Analyzer with five free reviews, and 1752 Fundraising, an investor database described as being available for pre-order.
1752vc says its Accelerate program invests $100,000 per accepted startup. A Reddit commenter said getting the investment through Ignite was harder than getting into the program. Fees for Ignite, Launchpad, and GTM Accelerator were not published. Founders considering a program should confirm its price and terms directly.
1752vc describes 1752 Fundraising as a service that uses an uploaded deck to personalize investor matches. Its plans list Top 100, 300, or 1,000 matches. The Essentials plan is listed at $79 a month, on a pre-order basis, with no charge until launch. A monthly and annual billing toggle appears, but the pricing description does not clarify which billing period the $79 figure represents. The 1752vc homepage marks the product “Coming Soon,” with no launch date stated.
How does 1752vc compare with Round Funded?
The services have different stated roles. 1752vc combines accelerator and investment programs with a pre-order investor database. Round Funded is a fundraising workspace for finding investors, sending pitches, and tracking replies. We chose Round Funded for our raise because we wanted those activities and materials together in one place.
| Category | 1752vc | Round Funded |
|---|---|---|
| Investor search | 1752 Fundraising is listed as pre-order, with match counts based on plan | 60,000+ active VCs, angels, family offices, and accelerators, searchable by stage, industry, geography, and check size |
| Email outreach | The 1752vc offering does not specify email sending | AI drafts personalized emails and follow-ups, sent from the founder’s Gmail |
| Pricing | Essentials listed at $79 a month, pre-order; the billing period is unclear | Round+ is $99 a month, Round Pro is $249 a month, or Lifetime is $899 one-time |
| Team workflow | The 1752vc offering does not specify a shared fundraising pipeline | A pipeline keeps investors, stages, and next steps together, and teammates can join the workspace |
| Materials and tracking | The Pitch Deck Analyzer includes five free reviews | A Data Room is free to build and share; per-investor tracked links and engagement analytics come with Round+ |
Round Funded’s investor records are filtered for recent activity, defined as a check in roughly the last six months, and emails are verified. Its database can be searched by stage, industry, geography, and check size. That gives founders ways to narrow a broad investor list around their fundraising criteria. Founders can get matched with active investors through the application page.
Why did we choose Round Funded?
We at AI Perks raised our round through Round Funded. Our choice came down to the workflow and features we wanted, rather than a claim that one service fits every founder.
- A clean investor database: We could search across VCs, angels, family offices, and accelerators using fundraising criteria.
- An AI agent for emails: Round Funded drafts personalized outreach emails and follow-ups for each investor. Messages go through the founder’s Gmail, so replies arrive in that inbox and the thread stays with the founder.
- A convenient interface: The fundraising pipeline puts investors, stages, and next steps in one place.
- A shared workspace: We could invite teammates to the startup’s workspace.
- A Data Room: Deck, traction, team, and ask can be shared through one link. Building and sharing the Data Room is free on every plan.
- Tracking links: Round+ includes per-investor tracked links and engagement analytics, such as views, deck opens, and meeting clicks.
Those were the factors that mattered to us at AI Perks. A founder looking mainly for an accelerator or an investment program may be evaluating a different need. We chose Round Funded because we wanted a way to search for investors and manage outreach as part of our fundraising process.
What does Round Funded cost?
Round Funded has three paid options. There is no free tier. First-time accounts can use a three-day free trial on Round+ or Round Pro.
- Round+: $99 a month, with up to 2,500 investors in the pipeline, emails to up to 2,000 investors per month, and 2,500 AI credits per month.
- Round Pro: $249 a month, with up to 5,000 investors in the pipeline, emails to up to 10,000 investors per month, up to six connected inboxes, and 5,000 AI credits per month.
- Lifetime: $899 one-time, with everything in Round Pro.
Plan capacity can help founders compare the service with their intended outreach and workflow. Round+ includes the per-investor tracked links and engagement analytics noted above. The Data Room, by contrast, is free to build and share on every plan. Founders can start a Round Funded application and get matched by submitting a startup through the application page.
What should founders check before choosing?
Compare the actual offering with the job you need done. If you are considering a 1752vc program, check its fees and terms, including whether it involves an investment and what acceptance means. Its Accelerate page says it invests $100,000 per accepted startup, while fees for several other programs were not stated.
If you are comparing fundraising workflows, look at investor search, outreach, team access, materials, and pricing. Round Funded helps with investor discovery, email drafts, pipeline organization, and tracking. It does not invest or run an accelerator. The right choice depends on whether you are seeking a program or an investor outreach workflow. For our raise, we chose Round Funded.
