KingsCrowd is described as a ratings and data platform for online private markets, while we at AI Perks chose Round Funded to submit our startup and get matched with investors for our fundraising workflow. We raised our round through Round Funded, using its investor database, AI-written emails, team workspace, Data Room and tracking links.

What is KingsCrowd, and what does it offer?

KingsCrowd describes itself as an independent ratings and data platform focused on online private markets. According to the company, it follows raises across funding portals, publishes analyst research and helps investors compare opportunities. Its stated primary focus is helping investors aggregate and track investment opportunities found on online platforms.

KingsCrowd also says it is not a funding portal or broker-dealer, and that investments are not executed through its site. That distinction helps clarify the role it describes for its platform: providing information and tools related to private-market opportunities rather than processing investments.

Its listed features include historical deal analytics, valuation tools and investor exposure. KingsCrowd also describes a Startup Valuation Tool that uses a brief questionnaire to provide a free analysis. The company says the information is provided as-is for reference.

These descriptions point to a platform centered on private-market information and investment tracking. Founders comparing options may also be looking for a process that brings investor discovery, outreach, follow-ups and pipeline management together. We chose Round Funded for those fundraising tasks. Founders can submit a startup on Round Funded to get matched with investors.

Who is KingsCrowd designed for?

KingsCrowd says its platform helps investors follow opportunities across online platforms. Its portfolio tracker is described as a way to bring investments from different platforms together, record exits and failures, and track estimated values. According to KingsCrowd, users can also add private investments and other assets.

The company describes KingsCrowd Pro as a separate product for industry professionals, including agencies, platforms and consultants. Its stated features include tracking client portfolios for fundraising campaigns and finding companies that are actively raising or have a funding history. KingsCrowd says users can search raises by attributes such as industry, funding stage and valuation.

That audience context can help founders decide what they need from a product. A founder preparing a raise may want to identify investors, send tailored pitches, keep track of next steps and coordinate with teammates. KingsCrowd’s descriptions emphasize online private-market data, investor tracking and professional tools for client campaigns. We chose Round Funded for our founder fundraising workflow.

What does KingsCrowd cost?

KingsCrowd’s published information describes a 14-day free trial for KingsCrowd Pro, listed at $0 during the trial, with cancellation available anytime. The Pro information described in those materials does not give a regular subscription price. A third-party review also says it could not independently verify a current consumer subscription rate from KingsCrowd’s published details.

KingsCrowd separately describes its Startup Valuation Tool as free and its online investment portfolio tracker as free to start. Those statements apply to the specific features named, not necessarily to every product or subscription.

For founders comparing costs, it is useful to separate a free tool or trial from a regular paid plan. Check the current terms for any product you are considering, and avoid treating an unspecified subscription price as confirmed. Round Funded’s listed plans, by contrast, have stated prices.

How does Round Funded support a founder’s raise?

At AI Perks, we chose Round Funded because it gave us a practical workspace for investor research and outreach. Its database covers 60,000+ active VCs, angels, family offices and accelerators, with search filters for stage, industry, geography and check size. Investors are filtered to recent activity, described as a check in roughly the last 6 months, and emails are verified.

Round Funded helps founders find investors, send pitches and track replies. Its AI drafts a personalized outreach email and follow-ups for each investor. Outreach goes out from the founder’s own Gmail, so replies arrive in the founder’s inbox and the email thread belongs to the founder.

We also valued being able to invite teammates into the startup workspace. The fundraising pipeline keeps investors, stages and next steps together. The interface, shared workspace and outreach tools suited how we wanted to organize our raise.

The Data Room lets founders put a deck, traction, team and ask behind one link. It is free to build and share on every plan. Per-investor tracked links and engagement analytics, including views, deck opens and meeting clicks, are included with Round+. Those were among the features that made Round Funded our choice. Founders can get matched with active investors by submitting their startup.

What are Round Funded’s plans and prices?

Round Funded has three paid options:

PlanPriceIncluded capacity
Round+$99 a monthUp to 2,500 investors in the CRM pipeline, email up to 2,000 investors monthly, and 2,500 AI credits monthly

Lifetime$899 one-timeEverything in Round Pro, paid once

Round+ and Round Pro include a 3-day free trial for first-time accounts. Round Funded does not have a free tier. The Data Room can be built and shared for free on every plan, while per-investor tracking links and engagement analytics come with Round+.

The right plan depends on the pipeline and outreach capacity a founder needs. The listed limits provide a concrete basis for comparing the options, without assuming that every startup needs the same setup. To submit your startup on Round Funded, use the application page to get matched with investors.
