✋ Founders. Investors. Service providers.

If you’re a founder… you’re forced into cold outreach that leads nowhere—or worse, you get the meeting, but all the pressure is on you because the investor holds the leverage from the start.

If you’re an investor… you’re flooded with irrelevant decks, and cold outreach. Even when a startup fits your thesis, it’s hard to access them because they’re already in high demand—and everyone else you’re seeing just isn’t exciting.

If you’re a service provider… you’re trying to get in front of high-growth startups, but you’re stuck sponsoring events that deliver nothing actionable. You get vanity metrics like email lists, but nothing quantifiable for your business growth.

👉 It’s broken. Too chaotic. And for most people in this ecosystem, it’s a lottery.

We’ve seen it over and over again: founders don’t know which investors to approach; investors can’t filter the noise to find aligned startups; service providers end up pouring money into partnerships that don’t convert.

Perhaps you can relate?

🚀 Over the last 3 years, we’ve helped hundreds of founders, investors, and service providers overcome this chaos:

✅ We’ve hosted more than 70 curated matchmaking events
✅ We’ve facilitated warm introductions—not cold intros, not random pitch lists
✅ We’ve made investors the ones selecting which startups they want to meet
✅ Our founders have raised millions of pounds through the trusted intros we created

And now…

👉 We’re putting it all together into one matchmaking platform.

A platform that leverages trust. A platform that removes the cold outreach lottery. A platform that scales warm introductions.

If you’re a founder → You’ll get 7 curated investor matches that align with your industry, stage, profile, and even your LinkedIn presence. Each match is backed by trust.

If you’re an investor → You’ll get only curated, relevant founders who match your thesis—no applications to sift through, no random decks to ignore.

If you’re a service provider → You’ll get access to a pipeline of pre-vetted startups, every 90 days, through a trusted ecosystem.

And it’s not just “who” you see—it’s how you connect: every connection is a warm introduction, facilitated by our Syrena AI.

We’re soft-launching this platform now, alongside our ongoing monthly events.

👉 We’re inviting quality founders ready to meet aligned investors, investors ready for warm, curated deal flow, and service provider partners who want to support this growing community.

DM me if you’re ready to stop the noise and start making real connections.

Here’s what early-stage investors actually see every week.

A typical investor might review:
 • 300+ startups a month
 • 40-60 decks a week
 • 10+ meetings per week

So when a founder thinks,
“They didn’t reply”
“They didn’t get it”
“They ghosted me”

It’s rarely about the business. It’s about volume.

The founders who get through aren’t louder. They’re easier to place.

Clear positioning beats clever storytelling, every time.

When you understand how investors triage opportunities, fundraising becomes a lot more predictable.

That’s the reality Syrena is built around.

We help founders show up with context and relevance before a meeting ever happens, so investors immediately understand why this company belongs on their desk.

When clarity is there from the start, conversations move faster and go further.
