Is Your Dream VC Into You? (Metal x Corgi)

Most founders spend months pitching investors who were never a fit for their stage, sector, geography or cheque size.

The problem isn’t finding investors. It’s knowing which ones matter for your round, and why.

So bring us your dream list. Over coffee at Corgi Cafe in Shoreditch, we’ll run it through Metal’s investor data and show you who’s actually likely to back you.

How the morning works

  • Your list: Tell us your company, your round and the three investors you’d most like on your cap table.

  • The fit check: We run it through Metal live. You’ll see how each investor matches your stage, sector and cheque size, who’s a long shot, and three better-fit investors to go after instead. We can do yours on the big screen or 1:1.

  • Your pipeline: Get free access to Metal for the day to research any investor, check fit and build your real list, with our team on hand.

Who it’s for:

Founders raising pre-seed to Series A in the next 6–12 months.

About Metal

Metal is an AI-native operating system for founders raising venture rounds, used by thousands of founders across 40+ countries and backed by Y Combinator and a16z speedrun. In just FY 2026, more than 100 rounds were closed by Founders using Metal with a total of $542million raised by those Founders.

Late last year, Techstars deprecated its own internal fundraising platform and made Metal the default fundraising OS across its 10,000+ portfolio companies — publicly endorsed by CEO David Cohen as the best-in-class solution for founders raising VC.
