Why Surba
Less sourcing noise. More signal.
Surba isn't a list of decks. It's companies that already run their finances here, raising with a complete profile.
Numbers measured, not just claimed
Founders run their spend on Surba, so burn and runway come from tracked spend and are marked “Measured by Surba” next to what the company reports.
The full picture before a first call
Round and terms, traction and unit economics, team with LinkedIn, cap table, previous funding, use of funds, the deck and, once they're interested in you, the data room.
Your pipeline, free
Shortlist, keep private notes, move companies from first look to term sheet, and message founders when you both match. No fees for investors.
How matching works
A score you can read, not a black box.
Tell Surba what you back
Sectors, stages, cheque size, geography, business models and thesis. Anything you leave empty counts as open.
See companies best fit first
Each company raising on Surba gets a 0–100 score for you, with the reason behind every point. A hard mismatch caps the score at 45, so it never looks like a strong fit.
Interested, or pass

Reviewed by Surba's team
A person at Surba checks the profile against the documents and Surba data before the badge is given.
Vetting is not due diligence. It confirms a profile is complete, identifiable and consistent with Surba's data. It isn't an audit, a valuation or a recommendation.

Important
Surba helps companies and investors find each other. A match score, a listing, a “Vetted by Surba” badge or an introduction is not investment advice, an offer or solicitation of securities, or any promise that a company will be funded or that an investment will perform. Investors must do their own due diligence; companies must follow the securities rules that apply to them.
Surba's investor directory is researched from each firm's own published information. A firm can ask not to be contacted through Surba at any time from the link in any email it receives.
