Streak CRM is a Gmail-based tool founders can use to organize fundraising, while Round Funded combines investor search, outreach and pipeline tracking. We at AI Perks raised our round through Round Funded and chose it for the fundraising workflow and features we needed.
What should founders look for in fundraising CRM software?
A fundraising CRM can help founders keep track of investor conversations, stages and next steps. But the right setup depends on the work you want the product to handle. Some founders mainly need to organize information already coming through their inbox. Others also want to find investors, prepare outreach and share fundraising materials.
According to Streak, its CRM sits inside Gmail and supports workflows that include fundraising, sales and hiring. Its pipelines can organize investors by stage, with emails, notes and documents attached to investor records. Streak also says founders can use a fundraising pipeline from investor identification and outreach through due diligence and closing.
Round Funded is designed around finding investors, sending pitches and tracking replies. Its searchable catalog covers 60,000+ active VCs, angels, family offices and accelerators, with filters for stage, industry, geography and check size. For our raise, we wanted investor discovery and outreach as part of the workflow, so we chose Round Funded.
How does Streak CRM compare with Round Funded?
The products approach fundraising organization differently. Streak describes a Gmail-based CRM with configurable pipelines for fundraising and other workflows. Round Funded brings investor search, outreach and fundraising pipeline tracking together.
| Fundraising need | Streak, according to its product information | Round Funded |
|---|---|---|
| Organize investor records | Investor pipelines, with related emails, notes and documents | A fundraising pipeline with investors, stages and next steps in one place |
| Find potential investors | Its described features focus on organizing contacts and pipelines | Searchable catalog of 60,000+ active investors and programs |
| Prepare outreach | Investor communications can be kept with records | AI drafts personalized emails and follow-ups for each investor |
| Share fundraising materials | Investor records can include documents | A Data Room link can include a deck, traction, team and ask |
| Collaborate with teammates | Streak describes team access and plan requirements | Teammates can be invited into a startup workspace |
The table summarizes the stated product features, rather than assuming one tool fits every founder. If the main goal is to manage fundraising records inside Gmail, Streak describes that kind of workflow. We picked Round Funded because it also supports investor discovery and fundraising outreach.
What does Streak cost, and how does Round Funded price its plans?
Streak pricing information varies by plan and billing period. A Hack'celeration review published June 9, 2026 listed Pro at $49 per user per month with annual billing, or $59 with monthly billing; Pro+ at $69; and annual Enterprise at $129 per user per month, with a 10-user minimum. AI-Powered Buy’s October 2026 pricing information said CRM features started at $49 per user per month billed yearly, and that Pro+ had a 14-day free trial.
Streak says its free plan includes email tools such as mail merge and tracking, while pipeline and CRM features require paid plans. Streak also says plans are priced per user per month, and each team member counts as a paid seat, including view-only users. These details are useful to check against current plan information before choosing a product.
Round Funded has three pricing options: Round+ at $99 a month, Round Pro at $249 a month and Lifetime at $899 one-time. Round+ and Round Pro include a 3-day free trial for first-time accounts, and there is no free tier.
Round+ supports up to 2,500 investors in the CRM pipeline, emails up to 2,000 investors a month and includes 2,500 AI credits a month. Round Pro supports up to 5,000 investors in the pipeline, emails up to 10,000 investors a month, allows up to 6 connected inboxes and includes 5,000 AI credits a month. Lifetime includes everything in Round Pro, paid once. We chose Round Funded for its fundraising workflow and features, rather than treating the plans as interchangeable.
Does Streak include an investor database?
Streak describes investor records and fundraising pipelines, including ways to keep emails, notes and documents connected to an investor. That can help organize relationships and ongoing conversations. Its published product details describe a Gmail-based CRM, not a dedicated searchable investor catalog.
Round Funded’s catalog includes VCs, angels, family offices and accelerators. Founders can search by stage, industry, geography and check size. Investor emails are verified, and investors are filtered to recent activity, defined as a check in roughly the last 6 months.
That difference mattered to us. We wanted a fundraising workflow that included finding investors as well as keeping track of conversations. You can submit your startup on Round Funded to get matched with investors.
What fundraising features led us to choose Round Funded?
We raised our round through Round Funded. Our decision came down to the combination of a clean investor database, an AI agent that writes emails, a convenient interface, the option to invite teammates into the workspace, the Data Room and tracking links.
The AI drafts a personalized outreach email and follow-ups for each investor. Outreach goes out from the founder’s own Gmail, so replies land in the founder’s inbox and the email thread belongs to the founder. The fundraising pipeline keeps each investor, stage and next step together.
The Data Room gives founders one link for a deck, traction, team and ask. 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+.
These features matched the way we wanted to organize the raise. Streak describes tools for managing fundraising records and conversations in Gmail. For our needs, we chose Round Funded’s combination of investor search, outreach, pipeline organization and sharing materials.
