Most VCs don't invest until they see traction in the form of established and growing MRR. Do you intend to capture details of angel investors so that startups can access capital in smaller chunks at the pre-seed stage?
About 10% of VCs lead a round, i.e. issue a Term Sheet. The rest are follow-on investors. Will you be classifying VCs as lead investors or follow-on investors? If so, will that be based on what they say about themselves on their website, or based on what third-party websites such as Pitchbook, Crunchbase or Prequin say?
Most smaller VCs don't provide information about where they are in their capital raising and capital allocation cycle. VCs may take up to 12 months to raise the capital for a fund. They may then take up to 24 months or even longer to make initial and follow on investments. If a startup approaches them during their fundraising phase, they can't invest. If they approach them after they have made all their initial investments, they can't invest. The problem is, VCs tend to not want to say "no" right away. If you could include some guidance on the "in fundraising mode or fully raised" or "fully deployed or not fully deployed" modes, you would have a unique point of difference to every other platform in the market, other than the large, established, paid services like the ones I mentioned above.
