Hey Product Hunt Community! We are thrilled to introduce our newest product within The ORCA Network - ORCA Co-Pilot, a tool designed to connect startups with the most relevant investors through AI-powered matching and automated email generation. Over the past few years, my co-founder, @ardab99 and I have built The ORCA Network, a centralized space for funding opportunities, collaboration, and tools/resources to accelerate startups. Currently, ORCA proudly hosts 2,100+ startups and 450+ Investors while facilitating 2,225 startup<>investor introductions. Over the years, we’ve realized the challenges founders face when seeking investment. This insight led us to develop our newest tool, driven by our belief in the transformative power of data and AI. We are committed to simplifying the fundraising process for founders by providing precise investor matches and streamlined communication tools. So here's how its a total game-changer for startup founders💡 📬 🚀 : 1. Extracts up-to-date information about your startup, including metrics and team data. 2. Compares your startup with top firms using a comprehensive, AI-enhanced database. 3. Assesses your startup's relevance to investors based on their individual and firm theses, portfolio companies, and online mentions. 4. Uses a proprietary ML model to generate a relevance score for each investor, identifying the best fit for your startup. 5. Allows you to select investors based on score, then gathers relevant information about them for context. 6. Identifies Warm Intro Paths via LinkedIn 6. Highlights key correlations and drafts a tailored email using startup data, investor data, and live internet data. 7.

MASSIVE TIME SAVER! Curated investors in seconds, seamlessly wrote my intro emails, and within 2 minutes 7 emails were out the door! AND YES, I'm already receiving follow-ups. Insane product solving a real problem.

Wow, this sounds like a total game-changer for startups! Love how you've identified such a crucial pain point for founders. The AI matching is like having a personal assistant working day and night for you! Can't wait to try the demo and see how it can help my startup connect with the right investors. Kudos to you and @ardab99 for creating such a valuable tool for our community! Have you thought about adding more resources for first-time founders too? Just a thought!
Charles Wehan
@ardab99 @blankwebdev We definitely have! Let us know if you have any specific topics you would want resources around. We will be starting with fundraising content for now!

Definitely a nice app, I think it helps with filtering criteria and matches, there are a few platforms like this but we were making the choices ourselves there, now AI brings it to us. Good job dear Charlie and Arda. Keep building great boundaries in your work! Thank you! @charliewehan @ardab99

@zulkarnaim Thank you!!

Hey Charles, How does ORCA Co-Pilot handle data privacy and ensure that sensitive startup information is protected? What kind of success rates have you seen with the AI-generated outreach? Congrats on the launch!
Charles Wehan
@kyrylosilin thanks for all the questions!! All founders can set different levels of data visibility when sharing their startup profile to the network. 'Building in Private' ensure all data is secure and not public. 'Networking' ensures minimal data is shared such as One liner, Full description, and traction. While 'Fundraising' enables Investors to see most information including pitch decks and core company info. All Investors are verified. We ask our founders to only share the amount of data the comfortable with sharing to investors. It is too early to tell right now as we have been live with a beta group of founders for 3 weeks now but we are seeing about a 5-10% increase compared to traditional methods. This increase takes into a account the amount of highly personal investor outreach that a founder can do.

Interesting idea! Would it find grant opportunities as well?

Awesome product . It needs work though from technical side, its still buggy.
Arda Bulut
@yashchaudhary thanks Yash! Which parts are buggy? Would love to get it taken care of (I'm the CTO)

@ardab99 the major one is whenever I click a route it redirects me to the '/' route though I am logged in.
Arda Bulut
@yashchaudhary just patched it! Should work now!

Hey Charles, ORCA Co-Pilot sounds like a fantastic tool for startups navigating the tricky waters of funding. The AI-driven investor matching and automated email generation features are particularly impressive. How does the AI handle unique or niche startups that might not fit into traditional categories? And how do you ensure the emails feel personalized and not too automated? Looking forward to trying it out and seeing how it can help our network at Treblle! Cheers, Rahul
Charles Wehan
@rahul_khinchi Thanks for the support. The AI handles niche startups well! You can test it out directly on the landing page. We enable you to make edits to the email directly in the platform and the model tracks all your edits. So it learns your tone of voice and style after 5 emails you have edited.
