Every application is scored out of 100 on how well it fits your thesis, with the reasoning behind the number. No more reading five decks to find the one worth a call.

Criteria you set, and can change

Your investment criteria live in your settings, visible and editable whenever your thesis shifts. Essential criteria decide who can apply at all. Preferred criteria shape the fit score.

One place to act

Get introduced, pass with a reason, set your own deal stages and message founders without handing over your email address.

How it works

How ThatRound works for investors

You set your investment criteria

A 15 minute interview captures what you invest in, in your own words. You can edit it any time, and choose how strictly it's applied. Essential criteria are always enforced.

Your interview

Building your investment thesis

Let's get started

Great. I'll ask you about your investment thesis: stages, sectors, cheque size and what you look for. It takes about fifteen minutes, and you can pick it back up any time.

Ready when you are

First one: can you confirm your name, your job title, and the name of your fund, syndicate or angel network?

Where it fits your thesis

84%

Stanchford is a UK-based, SEIS/EIS-eligible pre-seed raising £600k at a £4.2M pre-money, with a founding team pairing 10 years of enterprise construction-software sales (scaling a territory from ~£250k to £7M ARR) with a 14-year structural engineer, and it is building a defensible proprietary dataset of tested reclaimed steel for regulated building projects.

Example startup, illustrative purposes only

Startup arrives scored, with the reasoning

Every application is scored out of 100 against your criteria, with the reasoning behind the number. Founders build their pitch page through a 30 minute interview, so there's real depth behind every score.

You see everyone who applied, and you act in one place

You see everyone who applied. Ones that don't meet your criteria arrive marked Not a fit, with the reasons why, and you can undo the pass. Get introduced when you're ready, then message in platform or share your email.

Testimonials

Leeds Angels

ThatRound has been a wonderful venture sourcing partner in the ecosystem, where it tailors the sharing of opportunities to my preferred workflow, making it seamless. The team has also been really helpful if I had further questions or needed supplementary materials before I made the decision to speak to the founders. Would highly recommend working with ThatRound.

The startups that Brad has connected me with through the ThatRound platform have been high-quality, and we are in active discussions with them about participating in Mountside Ventures' Investment Readiness Programme.

ThatRound has become our best source of deal flow.
Brad & the team ensure that we only receive directly relevant opportunities, which makes our life much easier. In fact, we've already invested into a handful of startups discovered on ThatRound. Thanks for the great deal flow! Keep it coming!

Dan Schonfeld

Founding Partner, Veridian Ventures

Great platform and an excellent way to get access to early stage deal flow with all of the necessary information for screening.

Matt Boreman

Investment Associate, ACF Investors

Our early experience of That Round has been entirely positive.
I'm always pleased to see one of their decks pop up in my inbox as I know it's going to be relevant to our criteria and of good quality. The intro mechanism is easy and efficient, and the prompts for feedback on a decline are useful for founders and VCs alike (for the latter it forces clarity of thinking). Excited to see the flywheel effect as more deal flow comes through, feels like a good option for the UK early-stage scene to coalesce around.

Really good matching so far.

We signed up with ThatRound recently and found them to be a great platform. We invest in a specific niche and find their targeting spot on so far.

Philip Heurich

Co-Founder, Sowing Capital

ThatRound is a great concept to bring our investment syndicate a higher volume and better quality deal flow that simplifies the entire process of finding startups to invest in. As a small syndicate of HNW angel investors we don't have much of a public presence and it's hard for startups to find us or for us to find exciting opportunities. A listing on ThatRound significantly improves that exposure and our deal pipeline!
