Target
Accurate
We serve two constituents: Our clients and Our network of investors.
With 38 years of experience in the capital markets in North America, we specialize in curated target groups of family offices and venture capital firms.
We only accept clients that we can find a substantial target group of investors for. We only send deal flow to investors that actually have something in their thesis or criteria that indicates they want to get your deal. That way investors do not get “junk deals” which reduce or even eliminate the rate at which they review NextRound deal flow.
- Database leveraged to identify top 50 potential investors
- In-depth profiles created on investment criteria, portfolio, focus areas
We do the research and let you know the honest scope of the target group available in the market and connect your start-up with the right Investors. That’s why we created nextround.ai

How it works
1. Submit Your Deck
Submit your Deck and tell us about your business and yourself. Provide us with details such as sector, stage, ip, and send us a non confidential deck.
2. Review
Next we scrub our data base of over 15,000 institutional investors that operate at Seed, and Series A stage - if we can not find enough investors that match you we will tell you and recommend you do not sign up.
3. Connect
We write a teaser email for you. Then we reach out to the names we have discovered for you they get a teaser email and the deck you provide.
The goal is for us to set up a call between you and the investor.
