@mohini_shewale thank you! Really grateful for all the support from the PH community
@josephkay glad to hear you think so - please check it out and share with other founders!
Congratulations on your launch! I know you've been up for almost 12 hours now and it looks like your hard work is paying off. Question about your investor database - we usually start our prospecting by identifying a startup that we’re connected to and/or shares a certain characteristic with us, and look at who participated in their most recent round. Then we’ll look at each of those investors and identify the other deals they’ve participated in, and see who else participated and add them to our list. Have you given any thought to supporting a workflow like this?
@maxcameron really appreciate your message. Yes, that's absolutely something we've thought about and that is on the roadmap for the Investor Database. We just haven't been able to prioritize it yet. We also know that warm intros from portfolio companies typically yield the best results, so we're working on surfacing more of those data points too
Great work guys. Have really enjoyed using the product to date and am excited to see where it goes from here.
@assembletv Thanks a lot for all the feedback and review, Nate! So many things in stock for the next few months. Hope that next time you're raising we can deliver 10x the value we did the first time.
@sentry_co SO true - we've all been there. This is very much top of mind - we want to make it as easy as possible for founders to submit form fills to funders and accelerators. We'll let you know as soon as we have a prototype for this and would love to hear your thoughts!
@mark_bugas They all ask the same questions so should be doable with some scripting and GPT prowess 💪 ... unless the vc's fight back with a captcha 😂 and we are back to step 1 again 😅
@sentry_co this spot on! Super valuable feedback. Thank you for elaborating. I have spent WAY too many hours of my life submitting the same info on different VC websites
@mark_bugas @sentry_co This is a great idea, we may be able to do it even better & faster by leveraging the data from Flowlie. Something that will be brought into the product discussion for next week. Thanks for the feedback!
@mark_bugas @sentry_co @caz_vlad i recently saw a local company offer a browser plugin to quickly fill in insurance rate request forms. Perhaps a similar concept can apply
Perfect timing to see this - we're just about to raise for our new public benefit corp. Any specials for PBCs?
@erburgess Fantastic. Why don't we book some time for a free fundraising consultation? Just click 'visit' to go to our landing page and book using the CTA on the website. We don't have a predetermined discount for PBCs but would be very happy to discuss you being the first!
This is such a great idea. Not a lot of platforms out there for angels for deal and portfolio tracking
Just stumbled upon Flowlie. An all-in-one funding toolbox for early stage founders? Oh boy, this is pure gold! Already booked my free consultancy. 🔥🚀
@mattisssa let's go!! Love to hear your enthusiasm for the product. Excited to speak with you soon and figure out how we can help you close your round faster than ever.
Hi Mark, I love the approach to the subject.
May I ask you a couple of questions?
1. are the investors in your database more distributed in certain regions (US, Europe, etc.) or are they distributed globally?
2. what area of fundraising intervention are you most effective in? Pre-seed? Seed? Round A? Next Rounds?
Thanks and congratulations again for the launch and for the amazing platform, super useful for Founders!
All the best 💪
@janosch_lenzi1 fantastic questions! We currently have the best coverage in North America and UK, but are expanding the database to reflect our global user base (there are over 70 countries currently represented by founders on the platform). We also take requests on regional coverage - let us know what would be most helpful to you!
Roughly 80% of our user base are raising angel, pre-seed or seed rounds. The next most common stage is Series A, and we have representation from Series B and C companies too, though to a lesser extent. We're primarily focused on the earliest stages of capital raising, from angel rounds to Series A.
Love this team and love this product. Going to change the game in terms of managing your fundraise. Both for startups and investors.
@james_sullivan3 Thank you James! We are hoping so too. It is time to make the fundraising process for efficient!
@otcan that's so good to hear! We're grateful for all of our accelerator, venture studio, incubator, and fund partners. Ultimately, we all want the same thing: to give founders the tools to be successful
@mark_bugas
Hey Flowlie team! 🚀 Fundraising Hub looks like a lifesaver for founders navigating the funding maze. 🌐 How does the AI-powered deck analyzer provide improvement suggestions? Is it based on industry benchmarks or tailored to each founder's style? 🤖
@aashish_peepra fantastic question. The deck analyzer is trained on thousands of decks and is based on best practices for conveying your business opportunity to potential investors. The feedback is also tailored to your vertical.
It's not currently tailored to the individual founder's style, as the objective is to make sure it conveys the necessary information in a compelling way. From there, we always recommend founders tweak it to their own style, just as you would after getting advice from an investor or expert who reviewed your deck.
This is so exciting. I’ve seen first hand how impactful this has been for founders to help them focus on building their own product rather than spending hours and hours fundraising. Super excited about this one!
I love using Flowlie, it made my fundraising process way more organized and It replaced 3 others tools that I used to pay for.
@itsahmednaggar As always, appreciate your support Ahmed! It's been an absolute pleasure working with you and we're glad to have helped with your fundraising process.
@pavel_sher thanks for your well wishes! Excited to hear more feedback as you get onboarded
@jsteneros Thank you Johan! Let us know if you have any questions or feedback!
@jsteneros @mike_arinarkin let’s set up a call! Please book some time via the link on our landing page and will be happy to learn more about your needs
