Frequently asked questions
Still have questions?
What is Uma?
Uma is an AI-powered founder–investor matching platform designed to help founders find aligned capital and investors discover relevant opportunities through structured criteria, semantic understanding, and transparent alignment signals.
Who is Uma built for?
Uma is built for founders raising capital and investors looking for opportunities aligned with their investment theses.
How is Uma different from an investor database?
A database primarily provides access to information. Uma is designed around alignment between founder needs and investor preferences, helping both sides identify potentially relevant opportunities rather than searching an undifferentiated list.
Does Uma use AI?
Yes. AI-assisted capabilities support areas such as structured criteria generation, semantic analysis, pitch-deck insight extraction, and deal briefs. These capabilities are combined with structured information and explicit alignment factors.
Does Uma choose the right investor for a founder?
No. Uma identifies and ranks potential alignment. It does not guarantee investment fit, investment success, or any particular outcome. Investors and founders remain responsible for their own decisions.
Is Uma an investment advisor?
No. Uma provides discovery and alignment signals; it does not replace investor diligence or provide investment advice.
Is Uma available now?
Uma is going to start private-beta soon. Access is controlled, and prospective users can request access.
Why does Uma focus on alignment?
Because access alone does not create a useful fundraising relationship. Uma is designed around the idea that founders and investors should have better signals about potential fit before investing time in a conversation.
How can I join Uma?
Request access and tell us whether you are a founder, investor, or ecosystem partner.
