1. Application & Profile Setup
Startups sign up, submit key documents, and create a public profile. Required uploads include pitch deck, founder bio, MVP links (if applicable), financial model, and product explainer video.
2. Pre-Vetting by Internal Review Team
Our experienced analysts score each application based on product-market fit, scalability, and founder credibility. Only high-scoring applications move to the next stage.
3. Public Voting Round (Optional)
Shortlisted ideas are presented to the public community on Seedfundin for feedback and pre-commitment interest. This encourages community validation and social proof.
4. Due Diligence and Mentorship Pairing
Seedfundin conducts KYC, financial vetting, and risk assessment. Startups are then matched with mentors (industry-specific or investor-nominated).
5. Investor Presentation & Deal Room
Startups are showcased on the Seedfundin "Investor Room" where verified investors can initiate conversations, request further data, and negotiate deal terms directly via the platform.
6. Closure & Support
Post-investment, Seedfundin provides reporting templates, founder check-ins, and advisory support for three months to ensure accountability and success.
