Step 01 — Getting Started

Build your verified profile

Your multi-phase profile is the foundation of every match. Unlike a directory listing, it captures deep context — your mission, thesis, domain expertise, and deal criteria — so the algorithm can score compatibility precisely, not randomly.

  • 5-phase wizard — takes about 12 minutes
  • Industry chips, stage preferences, check-size selectors
  • Real-time completeness score as you fill it out
  • Admin review before activation — no junk profiles

Step 02 — Before Anything Else

NDA fires automatically

The moment your profile is matched, F4F auto-executes a bilateral NDA (NDA-01 and NDA-02) on behalf of both parties. Neither party can see the other's detailed profile until both NDAs are timestamped. You never have to ask for one.

  • Executed before any detailed profile data is shared
  • Bilateral — both parties are bound simultaneously
  • Timestamped record kept for both parties
  • Breach = permanent platform ban, no exceptions

Both parties protected
Profile details are now visible to your match — and theirs to you.
Step 03 — The Algorithm

A scored match, not a directory

Every match is calculated across 12 independent dimensions — sector fit, stage alignment, geography, check size, team experience, domain expertise, and more. You see a precise compatibility score and full breakdown, not a random listing.

  • 12-dimension scoring engine — updated on every profile edit
  • Tier badges: Strong (85+), Good (70–84), Moderate (55–69)
  • Dimension bars show exactly why the score is what it is
  • Counter-party name and company blurred until both opt in

Step 04 — Bilateral Consent

Both opt in. Independently.

Neither party can see the other's full contact details until both have independently clicked Opt In and paid the one-time connection fee. No one can be pulled into a connection they didn't choose. Consent is structural, not social.

  • Opt-in triggers the connection fee — see pricing for connection rates
  • One-time connection fee ($50–$300 depending on role) fires only when both opt in
  • Fee is flat — never a percentage of any deal
  • No fee = no contact reveal, guaranteed

Step 05 — The Payoff

Contact details revealed. The rest is yours.

When both parties opt in and fees are collected, full contact information is revealed simultaneously to both. Fund4Founders steps back entirely. The relationship is yours — the platform never participates in, intermediates, or takes a percentage of whatever happens next.

  • Full name, email, phone, LinkedIn — all revealed at once
  • Platform steps back completely — your relationship now
  • No ongoing involvement, no deal tracking, no commissions
  • Connection record kept private and securely archived
