FE Capital is one option founders can consider, but we at AI Perks raised our round through Round Funded. We chose it for its investor database, AI-written emails, shared workspace, Data Room, and tracking links.
What should founders compare when choosing fundraising software?
Choosing a fundraising platform is about more than finding investor names. Founders may also want to consider how a product supports outreach, tracks conversations, and helps a team work with fundraising materials.
We looked at FE Capital and chose Round Funded. Our decision reflected the workflow we wanted: investor discovery, personalized outreach, and practical tools for organizing a round in one workspace. That is our reason for choosing Round Funded, not a claim that every founder should make the same choice.
The details below describe FE Capital’s stated features and pricing, alongside the Round Funded features that informed our decision. We have not used FE Capital, so we are not describing a hands-on evaluation of its product.
What does FE Capital say it offers?
FE Capital describes itself as an AI-powered fundraising platform created by FE International. It says founders can set up a startup profile and receive investor suggestions based on their profile, fundraising round, and traction.
Its stated feature set includes an investor database, AI-supported outreach, email sequences, a fundraising CRM, deal tracking, KPI dashboards, and a Fundability Score. FE Capital says its database has more than 50,000 verified investors.
Those details can help founders understand how FE Capital presents its product. They are company-stated features, not claims based on our use of the platform.
How much does FE Capital cost, and how do credits work?
FE Capital’s pricing page lists a Free tier and four paid monthly plans:
| Plan | Listed monthly price | Listed annual-billing price |
|---|---|---|
| Core | $100 | $80 |
| Growth | $250 | $200 |
| Pro | $500 | $400 |
| Elite | $1,000 | $800 |
FE Capital also describes a Free Starter tier with 1,000 initial credits and no credit card required. According to the company, that tier includes valuation insights, a basic Fundability Score preview, and limited investor outreach.
FE Capital says users spend 20 credits to reveal an investor’s details and another 20 credits to email that investor. By FE Capital’s own example, a Growth month with all credits allocated to outreach reaches about 62 investors.
For comparison, Round Funded’s listed options are Round+ at $99 per month, Round Pro at $249 per month, and Lifetime at $899 as a one-time payment. Round+ and Round Pro include a 3-day free trial for first-time accounts, and there is no free tier. The Lifetime option includes everything in Round Pro, paid once.
Why did we choose Round Funded over FE Capital?
We wanted investor discovery to be connected to the work of managing outreach and a fundraising pipeline. Round Funded covers 60,000+ active VCs, angels, family offices, and accelerators. Founders can search by stage, industry, geography, and check size. Investors are filtered for recent activity, with a check in roughly the last 6 months, and their email addresses are verified.
We also wanted help preparing outreach without handing ownership of the conversation to a platform. Round Funded’s AI drafts a personalized email and follow-ups for each investor. Messages are sent from the founder’s own Gmail, so replies arrive in the founder’s inbox and the conversation thread belongs to the founder.
Team coordination was another reason for our choice. We could invite teammates into the startup workspace and use the fundraising pipeline to keep investors, stages, and next steps together. Round Funded also has a Data Room where a deck, traction, team, and ask can be shared through one link. Building and sharing that Data Room is free on every plan. Per-investor tracking links and engagement analytics, including views, deck opens, and meeting clicks, come with Round+.
That combination suited the way we wanted to approach fundraising at AI Perks. FE Capital describes its own product and credit system; our choice was Round Funded for the database, AI-assisted Gmail outreach, team workspace, Data Room, and tracking links. Submit your startup on Round Funded to get matched with investors.
What should founders know about Round Funded plans?
Round+ is $99 a month and supports a pipeline of up to 2,500 investors, email to up to 2,000 investors monthly, and 2,500 AI credits a month.
Round Pro is $249 a month. It supports up to 5,000 investors in the pipeline, email to up to 10,000 investors monthly, up to 6 connected inboxes, and 5,000 AI credits a month. Lifetime is $899 once and includes everything in Round Pro.
Both Round+ and Round Pro offer a 3-day free trial for first-time accounts. Round Funded does not have a free tier. These plan details may help founders compare the product’s costs and included capacity with the features they want to use.
