Submit your startup on Round Funded to get matched with investors. At AI Perks, we looked at NestBridge before choosing Round Funded, where we raised our round, because we wanted investor discovery, AI-written emails, teammate access and fundraising materials in a connected workflow.
What does NestBridge offer founders?
NestBridge describes itself as a platform connecting UK founders raising first rounds with investors. Its public feature descriptions include investor matching, Companies House verification, structured traction metrics and a revocable data room. The company also describes its approach as combining artificial intelligence, matchmaking and secure data rooms.
Its listed plans are Starter and Pro Fundraising. Starter is shown at £0 per month, in GBP excluding VAT, and includes a startup profile, basic investor discovery and community access. AI pitch feedback is marked as coming soon.
Pro Fundraising is listed at £29 per month, also in GBP excluding VAT. NestBridge says this plan includes Starter features, advanced investor matching, secure data rooms and analytics, advanced financial forecasting, and priority discovery placement.
The pricing area also displays an Enterprise label, but does not give a price or describe its features. NestBridge says users can cancel through account settings. Its public pages do not list an annual price, free trial or investor count. A Join Waitlist button appears alongside Start Free buttons, so the listed information does not confirm whether every sign-up option is currently available.
Those details tell founders what NestBridge publicly describes, but they do not establish the size of its investor network or the quality of its matches. Its public pages do not list third-party reviews, a founding year, funding details or team information. Founders comparing platforms may want to separate features and prices that are stated from details that are not provided.
What should founders compare in fundraising software?
Finding investors is one part of raising a round. Founders may also need to prepare outreach, keep track of conversations and next steps, share materials, and coordinate with teammates. Comparing platforms against these tasks can make the differences clearer than comparing feature labels alone.
NestBridge describes investor matching, verification, traction metrics and data rooms. Its Pro plan lists analytics. Email sending is not listed in the public feature descriptions, which does not establish whether it is available through another route.
Round Funded brings investor search, pitch sending and reply tracking together. Its database covers 60,000+ active VCs, angels, family offices and accelerators. Founders can filter by stage, industry, geography and check size. Investors are filtered to recent activity, defined as a check in roughly the last 6 months, and email addresses are verified. The site and product work in 12 languages.
For outreach, Round Funded’s AI drafts personalized emails 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 email thread remains theirs. A fundraising pipeline keeps investors, stages and next steps together, and founders can invite teammates into their startup workspace.
The Data Room provides 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, covering views, deck opens and meeting clicks, are included with Round+.
How do NestBridge and Round Funded compare on price?
NestBridge lists a free Starter plan and a £29-per-month Pro Fundraising plan, with prices in GBP excluding VAT. Round Funded offers paid subscriptions and a one-time option, with different allowances for investor records, monthly email and AI credits.
| Round Funded plan | Price | Included allowances |
|---|---|---|
| Round+ | $99 a month | Up to 2,500 investors in the CRM pipeline, email up to 2,000 investors a month, 2,500 AI credits a month |
| Round Pro | $249 a month | Up to 5,000 investors in the pipeline, email up to 10,000 investors a month, up to 6 connected inboxes, 5,000 AI credits a month |
| Lifetime | $899 one-time | Everything 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. Its Data Room can be built and shared without charge on every plan, while per-investor tracked links and engagement analytics come with Round+.
These offers are not identical, so the right comparison depends on what a founder needs to manage. NestBridge lists investor matching and data-room features, while Round Funded combines searchable investor records with outreach, a pipeline and team collaboration. We chose Round Funded for that connected workflow.
Why did AI Perks choose Round Funded?
We at AI Perks raised our round through Round Funded. We chose it because we wanted a clean investor database, an AI agent that writes emails, a convenient interface and the option to invite teammates into the workspace.
We also valued having a Data Room and tracking links as part of the fundraising process. The Data Room puts the deck, traction, team and ask behind one link. Round+ adds per-investor tracked links and engagement analytics, which can help founders see activity around shared materials.
Our choice reflects the workflow we wanted, not a claim that one platform suits every founder. NestBridge publicly describes investor matching, verification and data rooms. Round Funded was our pick because its investor search, AI outreach, pipeline, workspace and sharing features aligned with the tasks we wanted to handle together.
Founders can submit a startup to get matched with active investors through Round Funded. Before choosing a platform, consider which activities matter for your raise: discovering investors, drafting and sending emails, organizing stages and next steps, collaborating with teammates, or sharing fundraising materials.
