FOR FOUNDERS

Get in front of capital that moves fast.

Submit your deck to Carried. If it stands out, we introduce you to the funds, angels, and scouts who are actively looking for companies at your stage. No waiting lists. No generic feedback. Direct access to the investors who matter at your stage.

HOW IT WORKS

Submit your deck

Every deck gets a personal read from the Carried team, whether you are actively raising now or preparing for a future round. No algorithms, no mass distribution.

We review

If your deck meets the standard, we get back to you within five working days. If it does not, we tell you.

Selected founders go to the community

Your deck is shared with the investors in the network. Warm introductions follow where there is a real fit.

WHAT WE LOOK FOR

Team

Clear founder-market fit. A unique insight into the market.

Market

Huge market. A credible thesis on why now.

Traction

Early signal. Revenue, users, retention, or a clear path to it.

Execution

Bias for action. You do not wait for permission. You get things done.

IF YOU'RE SELECTED

  • Your deck is seen by the right investors. Funds, angels, and scouts - active, and ready to deploy.

  • Warm introductions. To investors already looking for companies like yours.

  • Access to the founder group. A private group of founders building serious companies.

  • Invitations to Carried events. Private dinners and signature experiences alongside investors and allocators. The kind of room where you get to know the people behind the capital, not just the firm names.

  • Ongoing visibility. We track how members progress. Strong founders come back around.

Founder membership is free.

EVENTS

The rooms where relationships actually start

Investors decide fast. Most of that decision is about the person, not the deck. We build rooms where founders and investors get to know each other properly, away from the formal setting of a pitch meeting.

Private dinners

Founders, investors, and a few operators around one table. No pitching, no presentations.

Signature experiences

Boxing. Padel. Cold plunges. Private chef nights. Chess tournaments. Small groups, real activity, better conversation than a panel will ever produce.

Founder showcases

Selected founders present to a curated room of investors. The format works because the room is already warm.

Selected founders are invited to events from the moment they join.
