Your cap table investors are continuously deploying capital into new companies — and each of those companies raises from a set of co-investors. Over time, this quietly builds a network of investors reachable through your existing relationships, without you doing anything to earn it. The Emerging Co-Investor Network surfaces that network and turns it into warm introductions.

​
The Co-Investor Feed

The feed lists investors newly reachable through recent investments made by your existing cap table investors, ranked by relevance. Each row shows:

Prospective Investor

The newly accessible co-investor, and how strong a fit they are for your company using the same Relevance score available in Investor Search.

Shared Investment

The company (or companies) where this investor and one or more of your existing investors have co-invested.

Latest Investment Date

When the prospective investor made their most recent qualifying investment across the shared companies shown.

Your Existing Investor

The investor(s) in your cap table who co-invested with this prospective investor.
Each co-investor appears once in the feed, even if they’ve co-invested with multiple existing investors or across multiple shared companies — those relationships are consolidated into a single row.

​
Filters & Sorting

Narrow the feed by prospective investor, your existing investor, a custom recency window, or how similar the shared portfolio company is to your own — with options for High, Medium, or Low similarity. By default, results are sorted by Relevance, and you can switch to Latest Investment Date instead.

Frequently asked questions

The connection between you and a new investor, made possible because one of your existing cap table investors co-invested alongside them in another company. That shared deal is the pathway — and the basis for a credible, warm introduction.
Relevance uses the same scoring Metal applies in Investor Search, reflecting how strong a fit the prospective investor is for your company.
Recency of the shared investment and how similar the shared portfolio company is to yours. By default, Metal looks at co-investments from the last 12 months in highly similar companies, and widens that window automatically if it doesn’t surface enough connections.
