Capital Pilot
VC Fund
London, United Kingdom
Capital Pilot is a VC fund in London focused on Software and Mobile Apps. The market for funding early-stage business is broken. Entrepreneurs looking to raise startup capital have two options. They can cold email potential investors where their proposal goes to the bottom of a large pile. Or they must rely on their limited network to – hopefully – get connected to the right investor. When they do get there, it is oftenwith an investment proposition that is incomplete or could be improved, and VCs and angels don’t have the bandwith to provide useful feedback on how to enhance chances of funding success.Capital Pilot is a platform that makes raising equity easier for startups, providing fundraising intelligence and matching between startups and investors.
