Getting investor inbound

“Inbound” means that the investor reaches out to you, instead of you reaching out to them.

Obviously, inbound is the dream 😃

Here's how it works on OpenVC.

First, complete complete your Fundability test. Within 24 hours, your startup automatically gets added to our anonymized deal flow page.

(If you don't want to get listed, just email us at steph@openvc.app)

Investor requests appear in your OpenVC Dashboard, as shown below.

You can accept the request and start a conversation, or ignore it and remain anonymous. That way, you're always in control.
