One pitch. Plenty of opportunities.

Take the pain out of pitching

Pitching potential investors shouldn’t feel like your full-time job — and with the ability the submit your pitch once in minutes, it no longer does.

Your questions, answered.

Our investor pool is looking to invest in early-stage, high-growth startups across a variety of industries, geographies, and round sizes. You’re welcome to apply if you’re pre-product or pre-revenue. We don’t have a cap on valuation size, and we’re opening to considering startups of all countries, sectors, and business models. You also don’t need to be a Mercury customer in order to submit a pitch (although we hope you’ll become one, one day).

Investors are welcome in all forms — from VCs and angels to scouts and early-stage funds.

Pitches will be reviewed by our panel of judges — composed of top VCs and angel investors — on a rolling basis. Each month, they’ll select a cohort of ambitious companies to share with our network of 800+ investors.You’ll be notified about your selection status by the final Friday of the month you apply.If you’re selected, your pitch will be forwarded to investors based on their investment criteria (i.e. stage, industry, business model, location, or round size).If you’re not selected, you’ll be able to pitch again after you’ve made some more progress (at least three months after your first pitch).

If an investor is interested, we’ll make a warm intro. Although we cannot guarantee interest, recently selected pitches have received an average of five to ten investor intros. If you don’t receive any investor intros, that means that unfortunately, no investors were interested in meeting with you at that time.

Due to the volume of submissions we receive, we unfortunately cannot provide individualized feedback on pitch submissions. However, you can find opportunities to workshop your pitch or prepare for your next submission by joining our Slack community, registering for our expert sessions, or browsing our published content on Meridian.

You can pitch up to once every three months. We especially encourage you to re-submit if you’ve recently raised a new round.

Investor Connect is neither a program nor an accelerator. It is a data-powered platform focused on optimizing the fundraising process, and Mercury as a company does not currently provide any funding to the selected startups. If you are interested in founder programming and community-building, we encourage you to explore our community offerings, founder events, and workshops.

Mercury uses a panel of judges that evaluates submissions based on criteria such as TAM, business model, and idea/solution/technical novelty. However, our judges don’t do any financial vetting — it is up to investors to conduct their own due diligence. Mercury does not endorse or recommend investment in any of these companies and this program should not be seen as financial advice and is not an offer to buy or sell any security.

Let the deals flow

Whether you’re a founder or an investor, you can get started in minutes on Investor Connect.
