How to ask for investment

What to put together, what makes your profile go live, and how a conversation with an investor actually starts. Every step below is something the platform asks for.

  1. Open a Creator account. Choose Creator at sign-up.
  2. Verify your email. A code is sent to that address, and again on each sign-in.
  3. Start your membership. The price and what it covers are on the pricing page.
  4. Fill in your Funding Zone. Three fields decide whether investors can see you at all: a real company name (the placeholder "My Company" does not count), a sector, and a raise target above zero. Stage, location, instrument, equity offered and your one-line pitch are read alongside them.
  5. Upload your documents. Incorporation proof, audited financials, cap table, customer contracts. These build your Confidence Score, which is how much of what you have stated is backed by a source file rather than typed into a form. You can list without them; the score simply stays low, and investors can see that it is low.
  6. Say what you are raising, plainly. Target, instrument and equity offered are the first things an investor filters on. A number that matches your documents is worth more than an ambitious one that does not.
  7. Add a logo and cover image. Optional, and they change nothing about how you are matched — but your card is what an investor sees first.
  8. Send invitations, or wait for interest. Discover Investors shows you the investors whose stated thesis fits what you are raising. Either side can reach out; the other has to accept.
  9. Sign the NDA before sharing. Accepting opens a private data room. Your confidential documents stay sealed until both of you have signed — an investor cannot download them before that, and neither can anyone else.
