About CherryPitch
CherryPitch tells a founder which investors actually fit their company, and why each one. Upload a deck and you get a ranked list of investors with a written reason under every name. We created the fundraising intelligence category and gave it its name.
Matching a founder to investors on measured behaviour rather than stated preference. A fund's website says what it invests in. Its check history says what it actually invests in. Fundraising intelligence works from the second one and shows its reasoning for every name it puts in front of you.
Founders raising pre-seed, seed or Series A, anywhere in the world. It earns its keep fastest for a first-time founder with no network in venture, who has a real company and an investor list assembled from a search engine and a friend who raised two years ago in a different sector.
A database sells reach: every investor, searchable, yours to filter. CherryPitch reads your company and tells you which investors belong on your list, with a reason under each name. Ten right investors are worth more than ten thousand random ones.
A deck tool helps you build and design the presentation. CherryPitch reads the deck to work out what your company is, then matches that against investor records. The deck is the input. The investor list is what you came for.
Yes, as partners. If you run a program and want your founders to have fundraising intelligence as part of it, contact us and we will set it up. Accelerators are not investors in our database, they do not appear on anyone's list, and they never see your deck or your matches.
Yes, for funds. Fund coverage is global, more than 6,000 firms. Angel network coverage is United States only, more than 500 networks. A founder based anywhere can upload a deck and be matched against the global fund set.
How it works
We hold a record for every fund that separates what the investor claims from what the investor has been measured doing. Your deck tells us what your company is, how far along it is, and what you are raising. The two go together, and where the stated and the observed records disagree, the observed one carries the weight, because behaviour predicts behaviour.
Two kinds of public source. The first is what a firm publishes about itself: its stated thesis, stage focus, sectors, check size. The second is what its own history shows: the companies it has actually backed, when, and at what stage. We hold both, mark which is which, and refresh them every day.
Venture funds and angel networks. More than 6,000 funds globally and more than 500 angel networks in the United States. Every record carries the date each measured field was last checked.
No. Upload whatever you have. CherryPitch reads what is there, tells you what is missing, and matches you on the rest. Most founders upload something rough, see their list, then come back with a tighter version and watch the list sharpen.
Starting from nothing? Take the pitch deck template, or look at the sample seed deck to see what a finished one looks like.
Under a minute. You will have your list before you close the tab.
Needs the Free and paid cases separated.
On Curate you get the full list, the reasoning behind every match, and a pipeline tracker for your conversations. On Raise you also get the outreach itself: a draft written for each investor, one-click send, follow-up sequences and a data room. Curate identifies. Raise executes.
Yes. Every paying member is assigned a fundraising expert from CherryPitch's bench of veteran entrepreneurs and seasoned investors. You keep the same person, so you are not re-explaining your company every time.
Sessions run 30 minutes over video. On Curate you get one session a month. On Raise you get one session a week.
The deck is where we start and the list is what the product is for. Around the list sit readiness, targeting, outreach and pipeline tracking, which is the full arc of a raise.
You will never see a score, a grade, or a fit label, on your company or on a match.
Plans, billing and your data
No investor names. Twenty Why This Investor explanations, live re-ranking, and the full deck analysis. Names unlock on Curate.
Curate, $99 a month, gives you the full list of thirty with the reasoning behind every match, a pipeline tracker, and a monthly 30-minute session with your assigned mentor.
Raise, $199 a month, adds the outreach: a draft written for each investor, one-click send, follow-up sequences and a data room. Your mentor sessions become weekly.
Both plans are month to month. Cancel when your round closes.No. Cancel from your account settings when your round closes and billing stops. Your access runs to the end of the period you have paid for. Come back when you raise again, and your history is still there.
Any time, from your account settings. Cancelling stops future billing and your access continues to the end of the current period. Payments already made are not refunded.
First-time subscribers can request a full refund within three days of their first purchase by contacting support. Renewals and later payments are not refundable. A refunded account is deactivated.
Your deck is read to build your investor list, and nothing else. CherryPitch does not share founder data with investors, does not surface your deck to anyone without your consent, and does not aggregate deal flow for the other side of the table.
Your materials are encrypted and confidential. No investor knows you are on the platform unless you contact them.
