Setting up your investor profile

Define your mandate so relevant companies reach you and irrelevant ones do not.

What an investor profile does

Your investment profile describes your mandate: what you invest in, at what stage, in which regions, and at what cheque size. Matching uses it, and founders see a limited, directory-safe subset of it.

What founders can see

Only directory-safe fields are exposed to other signed-in users — firm name, type, focus areas, stage preferences and geography. Personal contact details are never part of the public directory and are visible only to platform administrators and to people you contact directly.

Fields that matter most

  • Investor type. Angel, syndicate lead, VC, family office, corporate.
  • Stage preference. Narrow is better than broad.
  • Cheque size range. Prevents mismatched introductions.
  • Sectors and geographies. The primary matching axes.
  • Thesis notes. Free text that helps founders self-select.

Privacy controls

You can reduce your directory visibility at any time in settings. Reducing visibility lowers inbound volume and also lowers match placement.
