Tools

AI-powered tools that never decide for you

AI output is always reviewed by you before anything is published. Nothing is auto-listed and nothing is auto-invested.

Listing assistant

Describe your business in your own words and get a clear public summary, traction line and sector tags to edit.

Deck review

Upload your deck and get a score out of 10, nine criteria, and specific suggestions on what to fix before investors see it.

Transparent matching

Investors see live pitches ranked against the sectors, stages and countries in their profile, with the reasons shown. This is rules-based matching on your profile, not AI.

Transparency and trust

Plain answers on what we do, what we don’t, and who is in control.

What our labels mean

You approve, you can revoke

Our role is limited

We advertise pitches and make introductions possible. We are not a broker or adviser, we do not hold funds, and we do not check the claims in pitches. Everyone does their own due diligence.

What is Backed.Ventures?

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.

How much does it cost?

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.

When does the platform open?

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.

Who can see my pitch deck?

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.

Can I revoke an investor’s access?

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.

What do the investor verification labels mean?

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.

Does Backed.Ventures give investment advice or handle money?

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.

Does listing a pitch guarantee funding?

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

How is AI used?

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.

Ready to be backed?

Set up your profile in a few minutes. You only pay when you publish a pitch.

Backed.Ventures connects founders and investors. It is not financial, legal or tax advice, does not guarantee funding, and everyone must do their own due diligence before investing or accepting investment.
