Companies raising
Founders publish what they are raising and at what stage. Who they are stays private until they agree to an introduction - so a raise here costs a founder nothing in signalling.
Investors see more. Amounts, what the money is for and the ability to ask for an introduction open up once you have claimed your firm's listing on TrustList - which also puts your firm in front of the founders browsing here.

Founders publish here when they are raising. Nothing is listed until the founder confirms it and we have looked at it.

TrustList does not advise on investments, does not arrange them and takes no part in any round. Anything a founder states about traction is their own figure, shown as theirs; only what carries a checked mark has been read against a primary source by us.
