About this tool

What The Raise does.

Describe the company once and it ranks over 800 UK-active VC firms by how closely their focus matches yours, flags any that already back a competitor, and gives you the real submission route for each and a pipeline to track what you have sent and what came back. It exists because most pre-seed fundraising is a deck fired into the void, at a list bought or borrowed, with no record of who saw what.

Who it is for. Pre-seed and seed founders raising in the UK who are working from a spreadsheet of names and a hope, and anyone who wants the process to look like a pipeline rather than a scattergun.

What it will not do. It will not introduce you, and a warm introduction still beats a form. It will not tell you whether you are ready to raise, which is a question about evidence rather than about lists.

Is a matched list better than a warm introduction?
No. A warm introduction beats a cold submission every time. The list is for the ninety per cent of funds you have no route into, and for making sure the ones you approach are at least a genuine fit for your stage and sector.
How many investors should I approach?
Enough to run a real process, tracked, in one batch rather than trickled out. What matters more is that they fit: a pitch to a fund that does not invest at your stage is not a rejection, it is a mis-file.
What should be true before I open this?
Evidence a stranger did something, ideally paid. The bar in 2026 is a working product with paying pilots or a real retention curve, not a longer deliverables list.
