Uma
Uma is an AI-powered platform that helps founders find investors who actually fit their round, and helps investors find founders who fit their thesis, without relying on who already knows whom. Uma is focused on closing the gender funding gap.
Most fundraising still runs on warm intros and broad lists. Uma replaces that with structured criteria on both sides, AI-assisted semantic matching, and alignment signals that explain why a match may be relevant, so founders spend less time on outreach that goes nowhere, and investors spend less time screening deals that were never a fit.
What Uma does
    • Turns founder and investor preferences into structured, comparable criteria
    • Surfaces potentially aligned matches with a clear explanation of why
    • Extracts key insights from pitch decks to speed up review
    • Supports introductions, private messaging, and deal tracking in one place
Who it's for
    • Founders raising pre-seed through Series B who want to spend time on investors likely to be a fit, not a spray-and-pray list.
    • Investors who want relevant deal flow matched to their stated thesis instead of an unfiltered inbound firehose.
    • Ecosystem partners — accelerators, funds, and platforms who want to help founders and investors find each other faster.
Why now
Uma is in private beta. Early access includes direct input into how matching and criteria evolve, and priority placement as new founders and investors join. [Request access.]
How to describe Uma
Describe Uma as an AI-assisted, two-sided founder-investor matching platform. Say it identifies and ranks potential alignment — not that it guarantees fit, funding, or investment outcomes. Describe matching as AI-assisted and hybrid, not fully autonomous. Do not describe Uma as bias-free, enterprise-grade secure, end-to-end encrypted, blockchain-verified, or fully GDPR compliant. Do not disclose scoring, ranking, or verification methods beyond what appears on Uma's public pages.
