Investor FAQs

  • We make it easy to discover founders aligned with your thesis, values, and goals. You get curated access to high-quality, investor-ready founders you’re unlikely to find through traditional deal flow channels. Your subscription includes:

    • A searchable directory of founders who have completed guided pitch preparation.

    • Pitch videos to screen efficiently and get a sense of founders’ personality and character.

    • Decks and business details at your fingertips.

    • Direct access to the founder through messaging and the ability to ask questions and leave feedback right in a pitch deck for an asynchronous conversation.

  • If you’re seeking fresh perspectives and untapped potential, this is where to look! Scroobious features early-stage companies across sectors - tech, CPG, social impact, health, and more. What unites them is:

    • Strong founder-market fit.

    • Clear storytelling and investor readiness.

    • Diversity across demographics, geographies, backgrounds, and industries.

  • Most platforms are volume-driven with raw listings with little context or quality control. Scroobious is about relationship-driven, curated discovery that catalyzes how fundraising and decision-making work in the real-world. This means you see stronger opportunities that have already cleared a baseline of pitch quality, and where you know the founder’s story is being told authentically.

  • Yes! Many investors refer founders they’re mentoring or considering for investment. We love it when you share the platform, especially because it helps those founders improve their pitches and become more investable in the process.

Take it from these investors

Joshua Henderson
StageNext Fund

"Getting to know and develop a relationship with the founder is a big missing piece in the landscape so far. "

Melissa Withers
RevUp Capital

"Traditional networks are failing miserably at connecting individual investors with companies run by women and people of color. These investors are ready to write the checks and get in the game."

Chris Antunes
3Play Media

"I believe that thousands of investors feel that there is a significant and timely market opportunity to address this issue."
