Description
AdPerch is an agentic marketplace specifically designed to streamline the fundraising process for startups, connecting them with venture funds, potential co-founders, and a vibrant community of fellow entrepreneurs. The platform's core offering revolves around Percy, an AI raise agent that intelligently matches founders with funds whose investment theses and criteria align with their startup's profile. This approach aims to create "warm paths" to funding, moving beyond traditional cold lists and generic outreach.

Founders begin by dropping their pitch deck, which Percy then uses to build a comprehensive "perch" – a personalized profile showcasing their startup, stage, team, and materials. Percy analyzes this perch against thousands of public fund details, including SEC Form D filings and fund websites, to identify and rank suitable investors. The platform then facilitates introductions, either through existing founder connections, a shareable PerchLink, or direct matches when both the founder and a fund on AdPerch express mutual interest.
Beyond fundraising, AdPerch supports founders in finding their "other half" through Co-founder Matching, which connects individuals based on complementary skills and shared interests. The "Warm Paths" feature allows founders to open doors for each other by leveraging their personal networks for introductions to funds. Additionally, a "Bulletin Board" (coming soon) will enable startups to post gigs and find talent, fostering a collaborative ecosystem.
AdPerch emphasizes a transparent and consent-based interaction model. Nothing is public by default, and founders control what information is shared and with whom. When a fund is on AdPerch, contact only opens when both sides explicitly say yes, ensuring no blind pitches or unsolicited outreach. Investors receive free accounts and can claim their fund's perch to view matched founders, while founders pay for matching services, never for access to specific funds. The platform also offers integration with AI assistants like Claude via MCP, allowing users to query their pipeline and draft communications.
AdPerch is currently in open beta, offering a free Community tier that includes Warm Paths, Town Square access, and limited AI agent questions. Paid plans for Founder and Co-founder Matching are available with a 14-day free trial, with a special founding rate for those who subscribe in 2026. The company, AdPerch, Inc., was founded in 2026 by Cami Mandell Gorden (Co-founder & CEO) and BG (Founder & CTO) and is headquartered in Oakland, California, USA.
