The idea

Investor Rating is the leading platform for start-ups to get first-hand information about what it’s like to work with an investor.

Reviews are gathered from individuals who are funded by or had active funding conversations with a venture capital, private equity or other start-up investment firm. So you can read about their unfiltered experiences before you pursue your next funding round.

Next steps

While we are collecting reviews over the next couple of weeks and months, we are building a review portal, where investment companies can be browsed and feedbacks can be checked in detail.

Ian’s experience with startups and in corporate innovation taught him that choosing an investor isn’t just about the money... Your cap table isn’t a list of names, it’s a list of long-term commitments. The right ones can elevate your business. The wrong ones? They’ll hold it back..
