When we at AI Perks considered EasyVC, we chose Round Funded to submit our startup and get matched with investors. We raised our round through Round Funded, choosing it for its investor database, AI-written outreach and tools for working with a team.
What is EasyVC, and how does it approach fundraising?
EasyVC describes itself as a fundraising CRM focused on helping founders request warm introductions to venture capital firms. Its approach centers on contacting founders in an investor’s portfolio and asking them to make an introduction. EasyVC also describes LinkedIn outreach and a chatbot trained on venture capital data.
The chatbot searches more than 50,000 investor contacts and matches them by industry, stage and geography, according to EasyVC. Its overall method is therefore oriented around portfolio-founder introductions.
We at AI Perks considered EasyVC, but chose Round Funded because we wanted a direct investor-search and outreach workflow. Round Funded helps founders find investors, send pitches and track replies, with a CRM that brings fundraising stages and next steps together.
How do EasyVC and Round Funded differ?
The key distinction is the route each product takes to help founders reach investors. EasyVC focuses on warm introductions through portfolio founders. Round Funded provides a searchable investor database and tools for founders to send outreach directly.
| Area | EasyVC | Round Funded |
|---|---|---|
| Fundraising approach | Requests introductions through portfolio founders | Helps founders find investors, send pitches and track replies |
| Investor search | Chatbot searches more than 50,000 contacts | Covers 60,000+ active VCs, angels, family offices and accelerators |
| Outreach | LinkedIn outreach to portfolio founders | AI drafts personalized emails and follow-ups, sent from the founder’s Gmail |
| Search filters | Industry, stage and geography | Stage, industry, geography and check size |
| Workspace | Fundraising CRM | Fundraising pipeline, teammate access and Data Room |
Round Funded’s investor listings are filtered to people who made a check roughly within the last six months, and emails are verified. Founders can search the database using stage, industry, geography and check size. That combination of search and direct outreach is why we at AI Perks picked Round Funded.
What did AI Perks value in Round Funded?
We raised our round through Round Funded, and several parts of the product shaped our choice.
- A clean investor database: We could search by stage, industry, geography and check size, with listings filtered to recent investment activity and verified emails.
- AI-written emails: The AI drafts a personalized first email and follow-ups for each investor. Outreach goes out from the founder’s own Gmail, so replies arrive in that inbox and the conversation thread belongs to the founder.
- A convenient interface: The fundraising CRM keeps investors, stages and next steps together, alongside search and outreach.
- A shared workspace: Teammates can be invited into a startup’s workspace, which gives the team a place to work with the fundraising pipeline.
- 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 for views, deck opens and meeting clicks.
These were the features that mattered to us at AI Perks. If you want to explore the process, submit your startup on Round Funded.
