The difference

Software gives you a list. We run the raise.

Our platform does what fundraising software does. The difference is a hands-on team that uses it for you, helps you and stays with you as a partner until the round closes.

Fundraising software

  • You search a global database.
  • You write every email.
  • You chase every follow-up.
  • You manage the pipeline alone.
  • You build the data room when asked.
  • You raise on your own.

Roundwork

  • We match you from a network built for African raises.
  • A person writes every introduction.
  • We follow up on every open thread.
  • We schedule your meetings and brief you before each one.
  • We build it when the first serious investor asks.
  • We hold your hand through every stage, as your partner.

Timeline

On African raises, most VC investments take 2 to 5 months from first contact to close.
