Evalyze is AI that runs your fundraising for pre-seed to Series A founders: readiness scoring, deck review, investor matching, and outreach you approve.

What Is Evalyze? AI That Runs Your Startup Fundraising

Evalyze is AI that runs your fundraising, built for startup founders raising pre-seed to Series A.

We built Evalyze to bring the parts of a raise into one place, so you aren't rebuilding the process across spreadsheets, investor databases, and your inbox.

Our AI fundraising agent, Eva, scores how ready your startup is to raise, reviews your pitch deck slide by slide, ranks investors by fit from 20,000+ verified investors, and drafts personalized outreach that you approve and send from your own Gmail.

If you'd rather have a team run the raise with you, that's what Managed Fundraising is for.

Key Takeaways

  • Evalyze is an AI fundraising platform for founders raising pre-seed, seed, and Series A rounds.
  • Eva, Evalyze's AI fundraising agent, helps with readiness analysis, deck review, investor matching, outreach drafting, and follow-up tracking.
  • Evalyze uses two separate scores: the Investor Readiness Score (350-850) from Startup Analyzer and the Deck Score (0-100) from AI Pitch Coach.
  • Nothing goes to an investor until you approve it, and emails are sent from your own connected Gmail.

What Does Evalyze Do?

Evalyze connects the steps of a founder-led raise in one workspace:

  1. Check your readiness. Startup Analyzer scores your startup and shows you what to fix before outreach.
  2. Improve your deck. AI Pitch Coach reviews your pitch deck slide by slide.
  3. Find and match investors. Investor Matching ranks investors by fit, and Investor Discovery lets you filter the database yourself.
  4. Build your shortlist. Save the investors you want to approach (Pro).
  5. Send outreach you've approved. Eva drafts each email, and you edit, approve, and send it from your Gmail.
  6. Keep track of follow-ups. We track replies and follow-up status for you in Evalyze.

You can start wherever you are in your raise. If your deck is ready, go straight to investor matching. If you already have a list, move to outreach. And if you want our team to run these steps with you, take a look at Managed Fundraising.

Evalyze AI Products

Startup Analyzer

Startup Analyzer scores your startup across six areas, compares each one against startups at your stage, and shows you what to fix before outreach.

Startup Analyzer

You get an Investor Readiness Score from 350 to 850, covering team, traction, problem-solution fit, competitive advantage, market opportunity, and scalability and unit economics. It helps you see how an investor might read your business before you send your first email.

The free Starter plan includes 3 Startup Analyzer reports each month with a basic score. Evalyze Pro includes 15 each month, with an advanced score and benchmarks.


AI Pitch Coach

Get a 0-100 Deck Score with slide-by-slide feedback on your story, structure, missing slides, and visual hierarchy.

AI Pitch Coach

AI Pitch Coach looks at your deck itself, separately from the business behind it. Your report includes an Investor Perspective section on the questions your deck may raise, along with slide-level recommendations you can act on. AI Pitch Coach is included in Evalyze Pro and is not part of the Starter plan.

Investor Matching and Investor Discovery

Find Your Perfect Investor Match Backed by AI. See investors ranked for your startup by stage, sector, location, check size, and investment history. You choose who to approach.

AI Investor Matching

Investor Matching draws on 20,000+ verified investors and ranks them by fit signals: stage, sector or thesis, geography, check size, and investment history.

  • Investor Matching includes an active-investor check built to help you "Know who's actively funding now. Stay focused on investors that are ready to engage today."
  • Investor Discovery is the manual path. If you already know the investor profile you want, you can filter the database yourself.

The Starter plan includes up to 30 investor matches in one campaign and limited discovery. Pro includes full discovery and matching across 5 campaigns.

See Investor Matching or read how to use Investor Discovery.


Investor Outreach

Get personalized drafts, approve each email, and send from your own inbox. Track replies and follow-ups in the same place.

Evalyze Investor Outreach

Eva drafts an email for each investor you select, using that investor's thesis and past deals. You review, edit, and approve every draft, and it goes out from your own connected Gmail account. We track replies and follow-ups in Evalyze, so you can see who still needs to hear from you.

Evalyze Pro includes up to 15 personalized investor emails per day.

See Investor Outreach or follow our step-by-step outreach guide.


Managed Fundraising

A warm intro beats a cold email every time.

Managed Fundraising is for founders who are raising now and want our team to run the process with them.

Evalyze Managed Fundraising

Managed Fundraising includes:

  • Ex-VC-led fundraising strategy and materials review
  • A targeted pipeline of 500+ investors
  • Personalized email and LinkedIn outreach in your name
  • Warm-intro paths through three networks
  • Follow-ups handled and meetings booked on your calendar
  • Weekly strategy, reporting, and mock pitch support
