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

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."

"I have discovered six founders via the Scroobious platform…It’s a great opportunity to discover so many founders that are often underrepresented or overlooked, in addition to discovering all kinds of opportunities I wouldn’t have been aware of."
Scroobious is built for you too.
Angel investing starts with connecting with founders long before you write a check. On Scroobious, you can begin by taking small, low-pressure steps to “put in your reps” and build real confidence and knowledge over time:
Meet founders and review their pitch decks and ask questions
Discover which problems, industries, or people genuinely excite you
Connect with experienced investors and learn from them
Explore education to support you in your investment journey
Interested in angel investing but aren’t sure where to start?
Review pitch decks and discuss them right inside the platform.
As an investor, advisor, or mentor, you can request access to a founder’s pitch deck directly through the platform. Founders choose whether to share, and when they do, everything stays in one place—no lost password-protected links, no endless email threads with deck updates.
Here’s why reviewing decks on Scroobious leads to better connections and better decisions:
Always current: You’re always viewing the latest version of a founder’s deck. No outdated PDFs, no broken links.
Context-rich conversations: See how founders respond to questions and feedback directly in their deck (which often reveals more than the slides themselves).
Easy to navigate: Decks are organized into sections, making it simple to jump between topics and focus on what matters most to you.
Bring your industry or functional expertise where it can make a real difference
Scroobious connects you with founders building solutions in areas you care about. Whether you’re a mentor or advisor offering informal guidance, exploring an advisory role, or considering a board seat, this is a place to meet aligned people who value your experience.
