How Metal Works:

Metal is an AI-driven operating system for founders raising venture rounds. Equipped with industry data, the platform captures context on the user’s Company and uses that to surface deep intelligence. The most common use cases cut across the following domains:

by Founders, for Founders

Metal was built by founders that raised $120m for their first startup across seven venture rounds. Through that experience, our founders learned the intricacies of fundraising, and saw an opportunity to build the platform that they wish had existed.As of May 2026, Metal is used by thousands of founders across 30+ countries.
The platform cuts across six broad sub-products, each contributing significantly to bring efficiency and precision to the raise process. Each sub-product benefits from the platform’s proprietary intelligence on venture investors:

Investor Discovery

AI Search to identify the “most likely” investors for your particular Company’s sector, stage and thesis.

Relationship Intelligence

Relationship graphs that identify which of your connections can make introduce you to specific investors.

Investor CRM

An embedded CRM purpose-built for founders raising venture rounds with data and insight.

Meeting Intelligence

Pre-call preparatory insight and post-call feedback (based on Metal’s proprietary intelligence).

Round Coach

Our in-app coach (Richard AI) is equipped with proprietary intelligence and guides on all aspects of the raise.

Communications Centre

An in-app communications centre that allows founders to build automated sequences with advanced tracking.
