A marketplace for warm intros.
VenBase is where founders raising a round meet investors who actually back rounds at that stage. We make the introduction. The deal happens between you, off-platform.
A platform, not a middleman
We give founders the tools to run a round (listing, terms, SAFE, investor tracking) and give investors a curated place to find them. VenBase doesn't hold escrow, take custody, or sit in the middle of the conversation.
A founder lists a round, sets the terms, uploads their SAFE, and watches commitments come in. An investor finds a round that matches what they back and reaches out directly. Commitment figures are self-reported by founders.
Disclosure: VenBase is a fundraising management platform. We do not process, broker, or facilitate investment transactions. Commitments displayed on the platform are self-reported by founders and are not independently verified by VenBase.
How we make money
Subscriptions. Not a cut of your round, not a placement fee, not a commission on secondary trades.
Founders pay a monthly fee for an active listing. Investors can browse for free or upgrade for secondary intros and portfolio analytics. The deal itself is between you.
What founders and investors actually get
Round management
Set your target amount, valuation cap, share price, and minimum check. Watch commitments come in from one dashboard.
SAFE agreements
Upload your own SAFE or use our template. Investors see your terms before they reach out.
Investor pipeline
See who viewed your pitch, who expressed interest, and who committed. The information lives in the platform, not in your inbox.
Curated marketplace
A human reviewer checks every listing before it goes live. Keeps the marketplace small and useful.
Portfolio tracking
Watch your investments, track round progress, and get notified when a founder you back posts an update.
Direct connections
Express interest in a round and we connect you to the founder. The conversation happens between you.
Subscription pricing. No commission.
Founders pay a monthly fee to keep a listing live and get access to investor matching. Investors browse for free or upgrade for secondary intros, portfolio analytics, and the AI assistant.
We don't take a cut of your raise. The deal happens between you and the other party.

Our values
The principles that guide everything we build.
Accessibility
Good fundraising tools shouldn't require a Silicon Valley address or warm intros from a previous founder.
Security
Data is encrypted at rest and in transit. Billing runs through Stripe. We don't store sensitive financial information.
Transparency
Self-reported figures are labeled as such. Pricing is on the pricing page. There aren't any hidden fees because there aren't any other fees.
Founder-first
The product is built around the way founders actually fundraise. The terms are yours. The investors are yours. The deal is yours.
The round you're about to raise.
Whether you're raising or writing checks, the profile takes about a minute to set up. The first match could be online today.
Free to sign up. No credit card.
