One run, four things back.

About three minutes to answer. The run takes a day. Then it is yours to keep.

  1. 01

    You describe the investor you want

    Stage, sector, check size, geography, and what you need besides money. Then a little about you.

  2. 02

    We run the data once

    1,696 investors and the founders they backed, filtered by the rules you clear, scored 1 to 100.

  3. 03

    For each VC, the founders who look like you

    From their portfolio: same college, same hometown, same former employer. People who will take the call.

  4. 04

    Two notes, in your voice

    One to the founder. One for the founder to forward. You send both.

A score you can argue with.

Not a black box. Every number is three weighted parts, and every part points at a source.

Score = 0.40 × investor fit + 0.30 × founder fit + 0.30 × needs alignment

Questions, answered

What is introhacking?

Instead of cold-emailing a VC, you write to a founder they already backed who shares your background: same college, same hometown, same former employer. Founders answer founders. They walk you in. We find those founders for each of your 100 VCs and draft both notes.

Is this a subscription?

No. One data run, paid once. You get your 100 best-fit VCs and, for each, the founders who can walk you in. The preview is free.

What does the score mean?

1 to 100. 0.40 investor fit (do you fit what they want), 0.30 founder fit (do they share your background), 0.30 needs alignment (does what they offer match what you need). Each axis is explained on every match.

What do I get for free?

A preview: the VCs in your 100 scoring 60 or lower, with the why and one walk-in founder each. Higher matches show their scores; names and founders unlock with the full run.

Where does the data come from?

Public pages (firm sites, thesis notes, Form D filings), college alumni directories, and profiles people chose to share on My Campus Startups. Every claim carries its source.

Will you email investors for me?

No. We draft; you send. Nothing goes to anyone until you send it.

Do I need to be a student?

No. Same college works off anyone’s alma mater, and most signals have nothing to do with campus.
