The best buy in fundraising: a direct line to investors with real dry powder.
Most investor lists are full of funds that stopped writing checks years ago. Velouno ranks investors by the capital they can still deploy, then gets you warm introductions to the ones that fit your round.

Real dry powder
Spend your time on funds that are still investing.
Every investor gets an activity score you can check, so the top of your list is money that can actually move this quarter.
I
Undeployed capital
Fund size and vintage give an estimate of what is still available to invest, shown next to its source and never presented as fact.
II
Recent activity
A new fund, a stated "making new investments" and a deal in the last six months lift a firm. Firms that have gone quiet drop down the list.
III
Fit to your round
Sector, stage, geography and check size are matched against each investor's thesis, with the reasons shown beside the score.
How the estimate works: a fund typically invests over about five years and keeps roughly 30% for follow-ons. A $100M fund from two years ago therefore has about $42M left to deploy. When a firm reports its dry powder, the reported figure is used instead.

Questions
Good to know.
What counts as an introduction?
A request passed to a connector or an investor on your behalf. If it is declined, cancelled or expires, it doesn't count toward your free 5.
Why is bitcoin prepaid?
Bitcoin can't be charged automatically each month, so you pay for 3, 6 or 12 months up front at $40 a month, and 12 months comes with 2 months free. You get a payment address and the exact amount, and your membership starts as soon as the deposit is confirmed on the network. It doesn't renew automatically.
How do I cancel?
Card memberships can be cancelled from Settings → Plan & billing at any time and run to the end of the month you paid for. Bitcoin memberships simply end with their term.
Do you take a cut of my round?
No. You pay for the membership and nothing else, whatever you raise.
Where do the investors come from?
Your own lists, which you can import, and investors and connectors who opted into the Velouno network. Your lists are private to your workspace.
