New Product Launch -- Introducing MCP Access Customer expectations are evolving rapidly. And so is @raisemetal. Starting today, all founders can get MCP access to the Metal platform — and use the depth of our platform's capabilities using Claude. Investor discovery. Pipeline management. Warm intro paths. All from a single prompt. In the video below, we show what this looks like in practice — going from zero to a fully built investor pipeline in under 15 minutes. Metal MCP is now live at metal.so
➡️ New Product Feature — New Funds Hundreds of new VC funds hit the market every year with fresh capital to deploy, a new thesis, and a drive to prove out their approach. Today, there is no sophisticated mechanism for founders to see what new funds are entering the market, and which ones are most relevant for their Company. That changes today. New Funds on @metalraise surfaces investors that recently started a new firm, or that raised a new fund, filtered to your sector, stage, and geography. New Funds is now live at metal.so See it in action in the video below →
Getting a 2nd meeting with an investor often may feel like momentum. But what does it actually predict? We looked at 24 months of data across hundreds of raises on @metalraise. Healthcare and Consumer founders get the most follow-on meetings — 44% and 41% conversion from 1st to 2nd. AI founders are at 25%. But here's the counterintuitive part: when AI founders do get a 2nd meeting, they're 2× more likely to close a round than Consumer founders. Our theory: AI is oversaturated at the top of funnel. Investors are seeing hundreds of pitches a week, so the bar to earn a 2nd meeting is just higher. But when they say yes to a follow-on, they're already more convinced. A 2nd meetings with an investor can mean something different depending on your sector.
For the longest time, founders have struggled to figure out who in their network can intro them to VCs. Today, @metalraise changes that. Introducing Paths. Connect your network data (Gmail, calendar, etc.) and instantly see who can introduce you to which investors on your pipeline. Granular filters and AI-drafted intro requests give you a level of efficiency and precision that 2x-es calendar density across your raise. Paths is now live at metal.so →
Exciting times - super thrilled to introduce Metal’s very own datadesk. As @MetalRaise grows, we’re building an immense amount of proprietary intelligence in the world of VC. Soon, Metal will be the default place to get the most up-to-date & nuanced data on each investor making the world of fundraising less opaque!
Introducing the Metal Data Desk. Over the past two years, I've personally spoken with 1,000+ founders that were actively raising venture rounds. One consistent theme was the absence of data and insights on the raise process itself. Today, we're changing that. The Metal Data
So thrilled for this shoutout - thanks a lot! @Nik_Quinn
No need for any more cold emails!! I am not an investor (so no biases) but am a huge fan of metal.so. It shows founders who's actively investing in your space, at your stage and who is the best to speak to. They have ~170k investors in their database and also
Would fund.
If I could fund a single company that doesn’t exist right now it would be… Machine Maintenance as a Service $222B/year in the US is spent on machine maintenance or repair. Features would include: - quarterly PMs on machines - full service history with access to service
@MeekMill You might wanna check out @MetalRaise
“The best founders hold two conflicting beliefs at once. They respect the current system enough to understand why it works. They disrespect it enough to believe it doesn’t have to, and there are better ways.”
@TakoTreba I think there are quite a few startups that built on lovable & are doing well. There was a time there were examples on their site though can’t find them anymore! (But I do get your point!)
@MetalRaise 3/ The question now is whether consumer ever bounces back. Or have founders and investors permanently decided it's just too risky to build in today's market?
@MetalRaise 2/ The real reason? Consumer is just harder and risky. Higher acquisition costs. Lower retention. Harder to be profitable. Investors got burned post-2021 and likely reduced writing cheques. AI didn't cause this.
@andrewchen Great time to build a property tech startup?
I just switched to @claudeai from @ChatGPTapp for writing and ideation and oh boy, I can feel huge bumps in quality... For context, I've found GPT to give super generic, GPT-toned long answers. Ones that I find hard to read, let alone repurpose in writing. Claude on the other side, is simply catching up to my tone super quickly and is cutting out fluff. In a world where originality is the new currency, I'm not sure if GPT's winning that.
All from a conversation hosted by @MetalRaise with Jenny Fielding (@jefielding) of @EverywhereVC and Alex Iskold (@alexiskold) of @2048vc. Mega rounds and overnight success stories are great but fundamentally, you need to build something real. Know your numbers. Move with intention. Follow @MetalRaise for more cool conversations
5/ The bar is higher than it was even 3 years ago. Bigger milestones. Shorter timeframes. Less room for vague ideas
