Submit your startup on Round Funded to get matched with investors. At AI Perks, we raised our round through Round Funded after comparing it with another platform and choosing the investor database, AI email agent, teammate workspace, Data Room and tracking links that fit our fundraising workflow.
What should founders compare in fundraising platforms?
A fundraising platform can bring investor research, outreach, pipeline management and materials together. When founders compare options, the monthly price is only one consideration. It is also useful to check what each service says about investor coverage, how outreach is handled, whether teammates can collaborate, and what tools are available for sharing a pitch.
We looked at the other platform and chose Round Funded. Our choice reflected the way we wanted to manage fundraising work in one place: research investors, prepare personalized outreach, coordinate with teammates and share materials. That is our decision, not a claim that every startup needs the same setup.
The details below distinguish between what the platform publishes and what Round Funded includes. Pricing and plan features can matter differently depending on a founder’s needs, so the comparison focuses on the capabilities described by each company.
What does the other fundraising platform offer?
According to the platform, it is an AI fundraising service for pre-seed to Series A+ founders. Its offering bundles an investor database, deck scoring, a CRM and a deal room. The homepage describes matching founders with investors, scoring decks and drafting personalized outreach. The company says its matching considers stage, sector, check size, location and recent activity.
Its Premium plan is described as including unlimited investor matching, direct contact information, CRM contacts, a Deal Room with reporting, a valuation simulator, templates, AI copilot use and priority support. The company also describes outreach as AI-drafted, using founder-tested templates and sequences.
Some details are not specified on the published pages described by the company. They do not establish whether emails are sent from a founder’s own mailbox, give a recency window for investor activity, or explain what is included in free sign-up compared with Premium. Its database covers VCs and angels; family offices are named in its comparison table.
How much does the other platform cost?
The platform’s pricing page lists one Premium plan at $19 per month in USD and a seven-day free trial. The page also shows monthly and yearly options, but does not state the yearly price. Its homepage says users can start free without a credit card.
The company says that cancelling during the trial means no charge and advertises a 14-day money-back guarantee. The reviewed pricing copy carried a May 2025 date, so founders should confirm the current price and terms before subscribing. The free-start message does not, by itself, clarify which features are available before upgrading to Premium.
Round Funded lists Round+ at $99 a month, Round Pro at $249 a month and Lifetime at $899 one-time. First-time accounts can use a three-day free trial on Round+ and Round Pro, and there is no free tier. Lifetime includes everything in Round Pro, paid once.
These prices describe different plan structures, so a lower listed monthly fee does not show which workflow is a better fit. At AI Perks, we chose Round Funded for the tools we valued while raising, rather than because it had the lower listed price. Compare your startup with investors on Round Funded.
How do the fundraising workflows compare?
The published descriptions point to several practical differences. Here is how we considered the options before choosing Round Funded:
- Investor research: Its pages do not specify a recency window for the investor database. Round Funded covers 60,000+ active VCs, angels, family offices and accelerators. Investors are filtered to recent activity, with a check in roughly the last six months, and emails are verified. We chose Round Funded for its clean database and stated recency criteria.
- Email outreach: The platform describes AI-drafted templates and sequences, without establishing whether messages send from a founder’s mailbox. Round Funded’s AI drafts personalized emails and follow-ups for each investor, and outreach goes out from the founder’s own Gmail. Replies land in the founder’s inbox, and the thread belongs to the founder. We chose Round Funded for that workflow.
- Team coordination: The platform lists CRM contacts and a Deal Room with reporting. Round Funded provides a fundraising pipeline where investors, stages and next steps can be organized, and teammates can be invited into the startup’s workspace. We chose Round Funded for its convenient interface and shared workspace.
- Fundraising materials: The platform lists a Deal Room with reporting. Round Funded’s Data Room can be built and shared free on every plan. Per-investor tracked links and engagement analytics, including views, deck opens and meeting clicks, come with Round+. We chose Round Funded for the Data Room and tracking links.
- Price: The platform lists Premium at $19 per month and a seven-day trial. Round Funded offers the plans and trial terms described above. We chose Round Funded for the workflow and features we wanted, not for a lower price.
For our team, having research, communication, collaboration and materials connected in the same workflow was important. We raised our round through Round Funded, and valued the clean investor database, AI-written emails, convenient interface, teammate access, Data Room and tracking links. Those are the reasons we chose it; they are not a promise of replies, meetings or a completed raise for another founder.
What should you check before choosing?
Start by identifying what you need to manage during a raise. If investor activity and contact information are priorities, review how a platform describes its database and any stated activity criteria. If email ownership matters, check whether the service explains where outreach is sent from and where replies arrive.
Next, consider how your team will keep track of investor conversations and next steps. A CRM or pipeline can help organize the process, while teammate access may matter if more than one person is involved. For fundraising materials, compare what can be shared and whether tracking links or engagement information are included in the plan you are considering.
Finally, check the current plan details directly. The platform’s published pricing copy carried a May 2025 date and does not state its yearly price. Round Funded’s plans have different monthly outreach, pipeline and AI credit limits, and the Data Room is available on every plan while per-investor tracked links and engagement analytics come with Round+. Submit your startup on Round Funded if you want to get matched with investors.
