Frequently Asked Questions
Founders

Many founders feel lost trying to “figure out” what investors want. We take the guesswork out and give you clear guidance, built by people who’ve raised money themselves. You get everything you need to confidently pitch your company to investors, even if you’ve never done it before. That includes:
A step-by-step program that walks you through building your pitch material including a deck and an introduction video.
Access to real examples and templates so you’re not starting from scratch.
A profile in our investor directory once your pitch is complete, where real investors actively look for startups like yours.
Visibility opportunities through newsletters, showcases, and warm introductions.
A community that sees you, supports you, and actually wants you to succeed.

If you’ve ever thought, “I know my business has potential, I just don’t know how to tell the story in investor language,” this is for you. Our platform is for early-stage founders who want honest, practical support, especially founders who:
Don’t come from traditional networks.
Are tired of generic advice that doesn’t apply to their lived experience.
Are looking for investors who care more about than just pedigree or pattern-matching.
-
Investors on Scroobious are actively looking for new and overlooked opportunities. You won’t find generic gatekeepers here. These are people who care about solving real problems and want to meet the founders behind those solutions.Many are angels, fund managers, or family offices who:
Believe in backing diverse teams.
Want to discover startups beyond their usual networks.
Value strong ideas, real-world experience, and authentic founder stories.
-
Many founders don’t have pitch coaches or investor mentors on speed dial. PiP is our flagship education and guidance program and gives you support in a structured, affordable way. It’s self-paced and breaks the pitch process down into manageable steps. You’ll learn how to:
Structure your pitch deck slide by slide.
Create a one-minute intro video that actually opens doors.
Tell your story in a compelling way that resonates with investors.
Anticipate questions and speak to what investors care about.

No. You won’t hear you’re “too early” from us. We know early-stage companies look different - some are product-ready, others are still testing. As long as you’re serious about building your company, you’re welcome here. In fact, we’re often the first stop for founders before they raise their first capital. The earlier you start building your pitch foundation, the better positioned you’ll be when you takl to investors.
-
Once you feel ready, you have the option to list your pitch to our investor subscribers. Investors see a curated feed based on their preferences and engagement, and can search for founders by different filters. They can contact you in the platform with a message or ask questions and leave feedback directly in your pitch deck allowing you to have 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.
