The process

From application
to term sheet

1

Apply with your company

Submit your company profile — stage, sector, traction metrics, team background, and what you're raising. We review every application ourselves. No automated filters deciding your fate.

2

Evaluation and acceptance

A two-stage review: first a written evaluation of your application, then a 45-minute call with the Coplay team. We give detailed feedback regardless of outcome. Accepted founders receive a listing offer within 10 business days.

3

Build your data room

Work with our team to structure your investor materials: deck, financials, cap table, product overview, and references. We've seen hundreds of data rooms. We know what serious investors expect to find.

4

Review your investor matches

Within 72 hours of listing, Coplay presents a shortlist of matched investors from our 777-seat club. You review every match and approve introductions before anyone receives your materials.

5

Close with confidence

Coplay facilitates deal mechanics — NDA execution, data room access, meeting scheduling, and document exchange — through to term sheet and close. You keep control at every stage.

Eligibility

What we look for
in founders

Demonstrated traction

Revenue, user growth, signed LOIs, or meaningful pilot data. We don't require profitability, but we need evidence of market pull.

Clarity of vision

You know what you're building, why now, and why you're the right team. A clear thesis — even for early-stage companies — signals execution discipline.

Team with depth

Domain expertise, prior exits or operator experience, or exceptional technical capability. Investors in our club back people first and markets second.

Investment-ready

Clean cap table, legal entity formed, and willingness to complete standard diligence. We'll help you get there, but you need to be close.

The Coplay difference

Not another
fundraising platform

01

Your round stays private

No public listing, no searchable profile, no press release. Your raise is visible only to investors you've approved. Control the narrative.

02

No competing syndicates

While your round is listed with us, it's exclusive. You won't find the same deal on AngelList the next day. Scarcity creates urgency among serious investors.

03

Warm introductions only

We never drop your deck in a group chat. Every introduction is personal, contextual, and comes with a warm framing that respects your time and theirs.

04

Real humans, not algorithms

Our team reviews every match. We've read enough investor memos to know when the fit is genuine versus superficially correct. You get quality, not volume.

Your round. Your terms.
Your investors.

We accept a limited number of founders per quarter to maintain the quality of introductions our investors expect.
