Problem
Founders seeking capital raises, debt facilities, or advisory services must individually contact multiple investment banks, often receiving non‑competitive pitches, unclear fee structures, and no guarantee of commitment, which prolongs fundraising and increases transaction costs.
Solution
IWouldFundThat operates an institutional capital matchmaking platform that streamlines the fundraising process. Founders submit a confidential, NDA‑protected deal brief, which the platform anonymizes and distributes simultaneously to a vetted network of 50–100 institutional investment banks. Each bank competes by submitting a ranked proposal that details credentials, sector expertise, fee terms, and a milestone‑aligned retainer schedule. The founder retains full selection authority, choosing the bank that best matches the deal’s size, industry, and strategic needs. The service also connects retainer lenders to fund the bridge to mandate, ensuring clear, upfront terms and reducing fundraising friction.
Target Audience
Primary users are growth‑stage founders and corporate finance teams needing capital raises, debt facilities, or advisory services, as well as institutional investment banks seeking qualified, pre‑screened deal flow.
