Hey PH, I'm Dawid: I'm a serial (exited) founder who's raised ±$80 million in venture funding and it was NOT fun. Causo is the tool I wish I had when fundraising:
-save hours hours hours on manually finding and researching the right VC funds and the right person to reach at that fund
-crafting the perfect email
-monitoring email campaigns
-getting disappointed when low replies
It's time to automate this process. At the same time, just prompting Claude to 'find me perfect vcs for my raise pls don't hallucinate' doesn't cut it. Causo runs on a massive, live-enriched database of VCs, down to individual team members. We live research and update recent fundraises, portfolio investments, and backgrounds of investors.
All you need to do is plug in your deck, and let our agents do the work.
Hope you raise tons of monies with Causo! 🦝
I've always been intimidated by fundraising and VCs - in a rewarding way - and I cannot wait to try Causo. What actually compounds inside Causo over time though? Is it the investor graph, the intelligence in matching, or the outreach agents themselves?
Love the honesty ... "$80M raised and it was NOT fun" is the most relatable founder line I've read this week 😅
The bet on a live-enriched DB vs prompting an LLM is the right one. LLMs confidently pitching you to partners who left the fund 18 months ago is a real failure mode.
Two questions:
How fresh is "live"? If a partner moved firms last Tuesday, when does Causo know?
Does it learn from outcomes ... e.g. if a thesis-match looked perfect on paper but the partner ghosted three founders in a row, does that signal feed back into ranking?
Rooting for the raccoon 🦝
this hits home. fundraising outreach is basically the same problem as b2b outreach -- matching the right person, right message, right timing. curious how you handle personalization at scale without sounding generic
Taking a deck and turning it into an end-to-end outreach campaign is a perfect use case for multi-step agents. Since Causo is monitoring the campaigns, I'm wondering how it handles the data logging. Does it integrate directly with CRMs like Salesforce to log these touchpoints, or does it act as a standalone dashboard for the raise?
Pitch the right VCs, skip the grind reads as one of the cleaner positioning lines I've seen this week. Ran a quick Lastest baseline on the homepage while looking — turned up a small UX finding (Start Finding Investors anchors to a #start id that doesnot exist on the page, so the click goes nowhere):
This looks really interesting. I've spent hours on VC research in the past. Curious if you're adding linkedin outreach soon? That's where I've had a lot of success in the past, it seems you're email only for now?
This is the kind of AI automation founders actually need. Researching VCs manually is exhausting 😅 Congrats on the launch!
@dawid_baranowski@ivan_sem Congrats on the launch 🚀 How do you handle the relevance signal? Does Causo match on stage + sector only, or does it factor in things like check size, recent deal activity, or thesis alignment? Building an investor list right now for pre-seed and “match quality” is the hardest part.
Congrats on launch! Now this one is interesting and one of few projects I would personally you. I understand the startup side of the project but what about investor side. Is it cold outreach from their point of view or they also have Causo account and are reviewing matches directly on the platform?
Congrats, guys, you're shipping faster than Anthropic 😂 Btw how do you avoid these emails getting into spam folder?
Congrats @dawid_baranowski , a must have tool for founders, specially the 1st-time-to-raise ones.
QQ, the platform sources and does the outreach to the VCs and angels, right? or just sources the best matches?
I have used the product on the starter plan:
- it works - we did a campaign of 18 funds and got 3 replies in the first week, and 5 in the second
- individual matches were pretty good (we do saas in MENA so the investor pool is limited)
- emails are very human like and actually use all the info provided
- we were able to schedule 4 meetings so far
Having the whole DB open is a nice new addition. GL🚀
Cool new launch guys. I like the free investors database - I'm not quite ready to raise. How often do you refresh the vc info?
Hey PH - Ivan here.
Fundraising today is still painfully manual: finding the right funds, figuring out the right partner, writing outreach, tracking replies... repeat for months.
No stale VC databases. No hallucinated matches. Just targeted fundraising outreach that actually saves founders time.
Would love your feedback 🙏
