The MatchPlay process
-
01
Diligence
See what investors will see.
A structured assessment across the areas that drive an investment decision.
-
02
Prepare
Fix the gaps before outreach.
Stronger materials, a complete data room, and a clear financing strategy.
-
03
Fundraise
Meet investors that actually fit.
Capital Partners matches you on stage, sector, check size, and strategy.
-
04
Syndicate
Bring investors into one vehicle.
One SPV for closing and ongoing investor administration.
Start with diligence
Know what investors will ask before they ask it
See the company the way an investor will, then fix what would make them say no.

- Founder prep for the questions that come after the first pitch.
Built once, reused in every investor conversation.

What founders say
-
“I came in having worked on fundraising quite a bit. Our time together and your process really helped polish a lot, like the spontaneity and precision of my answers with investors. It was really valuable to me.”
Peter PacultCEO, Avana Health -
“I’ve never had so much clarity in how to say what we’re doing in 10 years – and I’ve been through numerous workshops at different accelerators. This is perfect timing for me to really understand these strategies and how to talk about them.”
Anthony SternsCEO, iRx Reminder -
“MatchPlay has leveled up our ability to talk about the value of our IP, our deal opportunity, and our reimbursement strategy. The process has deepened our way of talking about all of the aspects of the business — not just the science and the technology.”
Caitlyn KrebsCEO, Nalu Bio -
“MatchPlay gives you—especially first-time founders—a huge head start on things that were hard-learned lessons over multiple years. And even having all those lessons we got so much out of the program.”
Ajay KoriCofounder, Novilla -
“The benefits are matchmaking with investors and having due diligence completed on our company. This verified due diligence package provides investors with a trusted resource when evaluating us.”
Lukas-Karim MerhiCEO, Tenzr Health -
“We believe in this concept of a standardized approach to investor presentations — your company can meet the right investor at the right time at the right stage and not feel like you’re wasting your time.”
Amar SettyCEO, Patient Premier -
“It’s excellent preparation for not only having that first investor meeting, but having the second meeting, and understanding the diligence process. Those are all highly beneficial if you haven’t done them before.”
Jon GassonCEO, CereVu
