Dealum is designed around managing funding applications, while Round Funded helps founders find investors and run outreach. Submit your startup on Round Funded to explore a founder-focused fundraising workflow.
What is Dealum used for?
Dealum describes its product as software that helps angel investor networks receive and organize funding applications. It also says funds, accelerators, incubators, event organizers and other organizations use the platform to manage applications.
The product is organized around deal rooms. A room gives an investor group or another organization a place to handle applications according to its own participants, processes and rules. In this model, organizations set up the application process, and founders apply to opportunities that are accepting submissions.
Dealum says applicants can use core features without paying. After signing up, applicants may find some publicly accepting deal rooms by going to Applications and selecting Explore more opportunities. Dealum notes that listings may take up to one day to appear for a new account. Individual deal rooms may set application fees; Dealum says it does not handle those fees or the associated communications and processes.
Dealum also distinguishes application profiles from company pages shared by link. It says a company page can show introductory information, team members, media and a pitch deck. According to Dealum, these pages are not searchable on the platform or discoverable through search engines.
How does Dealum pricing compare?
Dealum lists separate pricing for networks, accelerators and investors. Its prices for networks exclude VAT, and Dealum says they can change, so check its current pricing before making a decision.

Round+ and Round Pro include a 3-day free trial for first-time accounts; there is no free tier.
How do Dealum and Round Funded differ for founders?
The main distinction is the workflow each product describes. Dealum focuses on organizations collecting and managing applications. Round Funded is built to help founders find investors, send pitches and track replies. We at AI Perks looked at Dealum and chose Round Funded for our fundraising.
Round Funded’s catalog covers 60,000+ active VCs, angels, family offices and accelerators. Founders can search by stage, industry, geography and check size. Investors are filtered to recent activity, with a check in roughly the last 6 months, and emails are verified.
For outreach, the AI drafts a personalized email and follow-ups for each investor. Messages are sent from the founder’s own Gmail, so replies arrive in that founder’s inbox and the email thread belongs to them. A fundraising pipeline keeps investors, stages and next steps together.
Founders can also invite teammates into their startup workspace. The Data Room lets them put a deck, traction, team and ask behind one link, and it 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+.
Why did we at AI Perks choose Round Funded?
We raised our round through Round Funded. Our decision reflected the parts of the product that matched how we wanted to approach fundraising: a clean investor database, an AI agent that writes emails, a convenient interface, teammate access, the Data Room and tracking links.
The investor search and outreach workflow was central to our choice. We wanted a place to find investors and keep fundraising activity organized, along with help drafting personalized messages. Sending outreach from the founder’s Gmail keeps the conversation in the founder’s inbox.
Collaboration and sharing materials also mattered to us. Teammates can be invited into the workspace, while the Data Room brings the deck, traction, team and ask together on one link. Round+ adds per-investor tracking links and engagement analytics. Get matched with active investors through the application page.
