The three levers

Most fundraises fail on things that were knowable in advance.

Sailboard closes that gap. Each lever is a product in its own right - together they're the difference between a cold list and a closed round.

01 - INVESTOR INTELLIGENCE

Know before you knock.

Pick the funds that matter to your round. Sailboard watches them every day and emails you only when something is genuinely worth acting on - then hands you the message to send.

02 - WARM INTRODUCTIONS

Not a database.
An introduction.

Every fund in the world is already a Google search away. What isn't, is someone credible putting your name in front of the right partner. We do that for you.

The weakest slide in the deck was the one a partner would have opened with. Found before the meeting, not after - with the specific rewrites, in priority order.

Investor intros are arguably the biggest bottleneck in fundraising - that's a massive unlock through your credibility. And I did not expect design feedback this good: I had a 2-slide roadmap which Sailboard told me to turn into a Gantt chart. Didn't strike me.

The whole brain behind the tool is actual investors. It's not generic AI-trained agents. We really feel we're getting feedback from the investors themselves.

We used it before our meeting with Elevation Capital. It identified gaps in our deck and gave a realistic VC perspective on the toughest questions we were likely to face.

Got an offer from the top investor Sailboard matched me with. The recommendations were spot on - genuinely surprised by the accuracy.

The feedback the platform is giving is really good. I am also on Round Funded and OpenVC, but this one is cool and unique.

The AI agents surfaced pros, cons, and concerns that were surprisingly well aligned with the feedback I later received from investors and experienced operators in real conversations - way more practical than a generic AI review.

I was working on something similar after founders flagged the gap. Glad you made this.

FAQ

Questions founders ask us.

What is Sailboard?

Sailboard is a fundraising partner built around the three levers that move a round: investor intelligence, warm introductions, and fundraise narrative planning. It is built on experience raising over $1bn and investing in 80+ startups.

What is Sailboard investor intelligence?

You pick the funds that matter to your round and Sailboard monitors them daily. When something genuinely actionable happens - a new fund close, a thesis shift, a relevant investment - Sailboard emails you the signal, explains what it means for your cheque size and sector, and drafts the outreach for you to send.

How do I get warm investor introductions through Sailboard?

Upload your pitch deck to Sailboard. You receive investor-grade feedback on your fundraise narrative. Founders whose narratives meet the bar qualify for warm introductions to matched investors - matched by stage, sector, geography, and cheque size. The investor opts in before any introduction is made.

What is fundraise narrative planning on Sailboard?

Sailboard scores your deck across 20+ fundraise parameters weighted for your stage and sector, shows which slides are weakest, gives the specific rewrites in priority order, and lists the challenges a partner is likely to raise in the meeting.

Is my pitch deck stored or shared by Sailboard?

Decks uploaded for an analysis are deleted as soon as the analysis is done. Sailboard keeps a deck longer only if you save it to your profile or include it in an intro you request, and it is never shared with investors or anyone else without your permission. See the Sailboard privacy promise at sailboard.me/privacy-promise.

Is Sailboard free?

Yes. Upload your pitch deck and receive your fundraise readiness report in minutes. No card required.

Warm intros aren't given.
They're earned.

Start with the deck. A few minutes, free, and your file is deleted as soon as the analysis is done.
