The Evalyze Newsletter: Your Weekly Fundraising Shortcut

Evalyze Newsletter is a free, twice‑weekly email packed with startup news that actually matters for fundraising, actionable how‑to‑raise breakdowns, curated resources, and lists of active investors. Every issue takes 2-3 minutes to read, so you can get the insights you need and get back to building.

Two Numbers Most Founders Don't Want to Talk About

The average seed round takes 3 to 6 months.

The harsh reality? A huge chunk of that time is wasted pitching investors who were never going to say yes. Having been on both sides of the table as a VC Principal reviewing thousands of decks, and as a founder who successfully raised, one glaring issue became impossible to ignore:

• Founders waste precious months on the wrong conversations.
• Investors miss the deals they’d actually back.

Enter Evalyze

To fix this, I built [Evalyze.ai(/), an AI platform that reads your startup like an investment committee, then matches you with the investors most likely to fund you. Today, over 10,000 founders use it to raise faster and cut out the noise.

The Next Step

But tools alone aren’t enough. You also need the right information, exactly when you need it, in a format that doesn’t feel like homework.

So, I’m launching something new, the exact resource I would have killed for when I was in the trenches.

Meet the Evalyze Newsletter

A free, twice‑weekly email that delivers exactly what an early‑stage founder needs:

• Startup news that actually matters for fundraising
• How‑to‑raise breakdowns (pitch deck fixes, outreach scripts, valuation tactics)
• Curated resources we use inside Evalyze
• Active investor lists names, focus areas, and how to reach them

Each issue takes 2-3 minutes to read. No fluff. No paywalls. Just the stuff you wish someone had told you before you hit “send” on that cold email.

What Makes the Evalyze Newsletter Different

Most fundraising content is either too generic (“be passionate!”) or too academic. The Evalyze Newsletter is built by someone who’s been on both sides of the table:

• 10 years in venture capital, including a Principal role where I backed 100+ early‑stage companies and sat on boards through the messy middle.
• A founder exit, I know what it’s like to wonder if the wire will clear before payroll.
• 10,000+ founders on the platform, which means we see patterns in what actually gets funded right now.

Every issue draws on that intersection: hard‑earned investor psychology, real founder scars, and data‑backed AI insight.

Who the Evalyze Newsletter Is For

Any startup founder who’s tired of guessing. If you’ve ever:

• Sent a deck and heard nothing back
• Wondered “Am I even targeting the right investors?”
• Struggled to explain your business in a way that sticks

… then this Evalyze newsletter will feel like a weekly cheat code.

A Note From Me, Vee Fakhr

I’m building Evalyze because fundraising shouldn’t be a black box. But the newsletter is something more personal, a way to share the patterns, prompts, and hard‑won lessons that keep founders moving forward.

If you’re raising, building, or backing early‑stage companies, I’d love to have you in the room.
