How Backed.Ventures works

An online platform where founders publish fundraising pitches and investors discover them, request access and message founders directly. We are an advertising and introduction service.

Founders pay a one-off listing fee based on the size of the raise: $99, $299, $499 and $799 at standard prices. Pre-launch prices ($79, $239, $399 and $639, about 20% off) apply until 30 November 2026. Founding-member early access prices ($89, $269, $449 and $719, about 10% off) apply from 1 December 2026 until 19 January 2027. Standard prices ($99, $299, $499 and $799) apply from 20 January 2027. Investors are always free. The pricing page has the full details.

Pre-registration is open now. You can set up your profile, verify and prepare a pitch today. Founding-member early access for founders starts on 1 December 2026. The platform opens to everyone, including investors browsing pitches, on 20 January 2027 at 00:00 GMT (subject to final checks). Buying a listing and being visible to investors are separate. You can buy and prepare your listing before public launch; investors can browse and request access to listings once the platform opens to everyone. The date and countdown are shown on the homepage.

Only investors you approve. Anyone can see a short public summary, but the deck is released to an investor after they request access and you accept.

Yes. Open the access panel in your founder dashboard and revoke an approved investor at any time. They can no longer open your deck or other private files. You can also approve them again later.

Profile Complete means the email is confirmed and the profile is filled in (automatic). Reviewed by Our Team means our team approved the profile. Firm Affiliation Verified means our team checked documents showing the person's connection to their firm. None is an identity check, an accreditation check or an endorsement. Everyone must do their own due diligence.

No. We are not a broker, adviser or fund, we do not hold or move investment funds, and we do not carry out due diligence on companies or investors. Any investment is agreed directly between the founder and the investor.

No. The listing fee pays for advertising only. We do not guarantee views, introductions, investment or any result.

Founders can use an AI assistant to draft a listing and an AI review that scores a pitch deck and suggests improvements. Your content is sent to third-party AI providers to do this. AI never publishes anything for you, and its output can be wrong, so you check it before use.
