About Us

What if you focused on building your business and we focused on finding you the right investors?

Even for brilliant entrepreneurs with world-changing solutions, getting funded is harder than it should be. This simple realization prompted us to create Funded House as an entrepreneur/investor networking event at SXSW in 2019. Five years later, after our third official SXSW event and and two international investor-matching trips, we launched Funded House LLC as a stand-alone company. Now we simultaneously build relationships with venture capital firms, making sure we understand their thesis and preferred deal size, while conducting Growth Viability Assessments™ on startups with demonstrable traction.

Becoming a member of Funded House doesn't mean just being listed in our Investor lookbook, although it does include that. If you are invited to sign with Funded House and you accept, we become your investor advocates. From that point on, we are committed to helping you find investors who align with your vision and can move quickly to help you scale successfully. Please see below for a full breakdown of the process.

The world needs a talent agency for entrepreneurs

Let's face it, this probably won't be your last startup. Whether this one makes you fantastically rich or your go out in a blaze of glory, you will almost certainly fall in love with another problem and/or solution down the road.

We are a Startup Development Organization (SDO) that specializes in preparing you for–and successfully connecting you with–investors. That means it is really you, the entrepreneur, that we represent. When your startup becomes a member of Funded House, we become your friends, advisors, and advocates.

How it Works

Application Form: If you are an entrepreneur seeking funding, it all starts with you filling out our application form. This is our first step in getting to know you and your company.
Discovery Call: If your company has raised venture capital previously, achieved significant revenue, or built a large base of active online users, we will reach out to schedule a mutual discovery call. In addition to learning more about your company, we will answer any outstanding questions you may have about Funded House membership.
Growth Viability Assessment™ (GVA): If the discovery call suggests you are ready for the next step, we will invite you to complete a Growth Viability Assessment (GVA).
Membership Invitation: If your GVA leads us to believe that we can successfully represent you to investors, we will formally invite you to become a member of Funded House and feature you in our Investor Lookbook.
