We're two makers building an open gateway  between founders and investors

In March 2021, we launched OpenVC on ProductHunt as a humble product with an ambitious mission: creating an open gateway between founders and investors across the world.

Today, OpenVC drives deal flow for 1,000+ VC firms, angel networks, and corporate funds. Every week, over 150 pitch decks are sent through our platform. 

Behind the scenes, we're just two indie makers who have fun building stuff and working together.
