FAQs

Answers to our most common queries.

Can I find investors using ThatRound?

Yes, ThatRound features both direct investors such as Angel Syndicates and VCs, as well as partners who can introduce you to investors within their network. Whether you’re finding investors for a startup or looking to expand your reach, ThatRound is your first step to unlocking the entire fundraising market in one central hub.

Can startups outside the UK use ThatRound?

Currently, ThatRound is designed exclusively for UK startups, with features tailored to GBP and local funding needs. However, some of our funding partners are international, offering opportunities beyond the UK. We’re actively planning to expand ThatRound to other regions soon! If you’re thinking of raising a funding round for your business, sign up for our mailing list using the form below to stay informed about future launches and international availability. We’ll keep you updated as we grow and bring ThatRound to founders worldwide.

How long does it take to create my pitch page and access investors?

It typically takes an hour to fill out and publish your pitch page, but this can vary depending on how prepared your investment pitch is. And if you want to speed this up, our AI pitch page generator can take your pitch deck and reformat it into a pitch page for you. Our matching algorithm uses the information you include in the page so it's best to be as forthcoming as possible so we can match you to the most suitable investors. The good news, is that with ThatRound, you will only need to go through one onboarding and create one pitch page to access multiple investors in one place. Therefore, we recommend taking your time, and completing each section thoroughly to prepare the best pitch possible.

Can you raise debt funding, such as loans with ThatRound?

No. ThatRound is specifically built for startups looking to get funding for startup equity through traditional equity investment rounds. That said, many of our funding partners may also offer debt-based solutions, and we recommend getting in touch for our team’s recommendations if you’re interested in exploring debt funding.

Can you explain ThatRound fees?

ThatRound operates on a modest monthly subscription model, much like a typical enterprise software product. The platform provides far more than just introductions to investors and fundraising services. Our platform supports ongoing relationship management, investment round tracking, and coordination of your funding round through a built-in CRM and investor introduction tracking system. This ensures startups are equipped for sustained success throughout their fundraising journey. For the most accurate and up-to-date pricing, please visit our Pricing page.

Do investors and fundraising services on ThatRound a charge a fee?

Not at all. Actually, 20% of all partners on the ThatRound platform do not charge any fee at all and over 50% charge only a success based fee.
