I like that Metal has a very comprehensive list of investors and very thorough data. I can create a huge wish list of funds that are great targets for my fundraising round, then find the right paths for an intro, including through LinkedIn. It’s continually improving and is a good investment with great value—it’s not crazy expensive, and it pays for itself with only one check. Setup was very easy, and the Metal team was super, super helpful with a quick but very good introduction to the platform.

I find Metal so easy to use. I looked at many other platforms and found this the easiest to use and integrate. It makes it very easy to find warm contacts with any investor or VC globally, keep all my communication in one place, and follow every stage of the funding process. I like the integration with my Gmail, LinkedIn, and calendar—it synchronizes my emails and calendar, helps me find warm contacts, and lets me keep track of the entire funding process. I don’t have to go to my inbox to keep track of investor emails and replies, which is very time-saving. I can automatically write personalized emails to hundreds of VCs at a time. The onboarding was amazing, and the onboarding team did most of the work for me, even before day one. Their team is extremely responsive and very supportive. Their AI chatbot and funding tips are already useful. I decided Metal is the best, and I’ve already recommended it to more than 10 people.

Metal's been super impressive. It's easy and saves me one to two hours per day, if not more, because I don't have to spend as much time seeking out qualified investors. I like the insights and alignment on potential investors for my stage, check size, and thesis. The intros and pathways for introductions are a really solid feature, and I can find the shortest distance to the right connection for an introduction to a potential investor.
