OpenVC

OpenVC is a comprehensive fundraising platform designed to connect early-stage startup founders with the right investors quickly and efficiently. Think of it as the LinkedIn for startup funding, but completely free and focused on results.

The platform combines an extensive database of over 5,000 verified investors with smart tools that help founders manage their entire fundraising process. What makes OpenVC unique is its commitment to transparency and accessibility - there are no hidden fees, commissions, or paywalls blocking your access to funding opportunities.

The platform includes advanced features like pitch deck analytics that show exactly when investors view your presentation and how long they spend reviewing it. Founded by Stephane Nasser and Lucas Roquilly, two entrepreneurs who experienced fundraising challenges firsthand, OpenVC was built to make venture capital more efficient and transparent for everyone involved in the startup ecosystem.

Getting started with OpenVC is straightforward and takes just minutes. First, visit openvc.app and create your free account by providing basic information about your startup including industry, stage, and funding goals. Complete your founder profile with details about your background and company to help investors understand your venture better.

Next, use the investor search feature to browse through 5,000+ verified investors. Filter results by investment stage, industry focus, geography, and check size to find investors who match your startup profile. Each investor profile shows their investment preferences, portfolio companies, and preferred contact method.

When you find suitable investors, upload your pitch deck and submit it directly through the platform. OpenVC will track when investors open your deck and provide detailed analytics about their engagement. The platform offers three ways to connect:
