What founders use it for
See which investors you fit
Upload your deck and Pulse checks every angel group and fund it covers against your company, clear fits first, with why each fits and where to apply.
A plan for your raise
Tell Pulse where you are and it lays out your next steps, from the investors who fit to tracking every approach, and ticks them off as you go.
Find the investors who fit
Filter by your sector, stage and region and see the investors who back companies like yours, ranked by how often they do it.
Walk in with a warm angle
See who invests together and who already backs companies close to yours, so every approach has context.
Benchmark your round
See what similar companies raised and at what valuation before you set your terms.
Matches: the investors you fit
Reads your deck for you
Upload your pitch deck and Pulse reads it in about a minute. You check every fact before it's used.
Knows what rules you out
Stage, place, round size, SEIS and EIS, how much of your round is left, women-led and more, investor by investor.
Every kind of investor, one list
Angel groups, SEIS and EIS funds, venture funds, VCTs, regional funds and programmes, clear fits first.
Where and how to apply
Each investor's own route and what it asks for. You apply yourself; Pulse sends nothing on your behalf.
Questions you can ask
Ask Pulse answers plain-English questions from Pulse’s own data, with links to the companies and investors behind each answer. For example:
- Which angels have backed seed-stage software companies in the North West since 2023?
- Who most often invests alongside the investors already in my round?
- What did fintech companies typically raise at seed last year?
Questions
How do Matches work?
Upload your deck or answer a few questions. Pulse checks each investor's published criteria, such as stage, place, round size, SEIS and EIS, and women-led, and what each has actually backed, then lists clear fits first with the reasons and where to apply. You apply on each investor's own route. Pulse doesn't contact investors or check their criteria with them, so check before you apply.
Will Pulse introduce me to investors?
No. Pulse is a research tool, and any approach you make is your own. FundMyPitch runs a separate introductions service, which is not part of Pulse.
Do I get contact details?
No. You get the investors, their portfolios and the patterns behind them. Contact details are not included.
Where does the data come from?
From official UK company records, which Pulse cleans, matches, values and connects with its own intelligence engine. Amounts and valuations are Pulse estimates: a strong guide, not audited figures.
