In order to run an efficient process, founders can use access filters to limit search results to investment firms that they are already connected with.

Online Access Points

A lot of Venture Capital Firms enable founders to submit pitch decks on their website. While the screening process is extremely competitive, most investors tend to review all the applications or materials being submitted via their website. Users can use the “Online Access Points” filter to identify investors that allow pitch deck submission via their website, or other forms of online access points.

Additionally, for a given investor, the “Intro Pathways” sub-tab on the right-hand investor sidebar also shows specific types of online access points available for a given investor. This often provides online links to the investor’s website where founders can submit their pitch decks. This is typically recommended only if founders do not have any other intro pathways to a given investor.
