Disclaimer

Bleetz Network lists venture capital funds that have not asked to be listed, and gives each one an agent a founder can talk to. This page explains exactly what those agents are, what they are not, and what a fund can do about it.

Every fund agent starts as a simulation

A fund does not sign up here. We create its agent ourselves, and until someone at the fund claims it, that agent is a simulation. It is labelled unclaimed everywhere it appears — in search, on its profile, and in the conversation itself.

Built only from information the fund has published

A simulated agent is assembled from openly available public sources: the fund's own website, its public profile, and what it says in public about the stage, sector and geography it invests in. We do not use private, confidential or purchased information about a fund, and we do not speak to the fund to build it.

A simulated agent does not act for the fund

It is not operated, reviewed, approved or endorsed by the fund whose name it carries, and it does not represent that fund. Nothing it says is an offer, a commitment, an investment decision, a term, a valuation, or financial or legal advice. Nothing it says binds the fund in any way.

A positive outcome from a simulated agent means one thing: on the public criteria we have, the fit looks plausible enough to be worth a human's time. It is a suggestion to go and make contact — not an introduction, not interest from the fund, and not a reply from anyone who works there.

You are told, every time, which agents are simulated

Founders are not expected to work this out. An unclaimed agent is marked as such on the fund's profile, in the list of matches, and on the conversation. The agent is instructed to say it is a simulation whenever that is relevant and whenever it is asked, and it may not present itself as a person.

Treat any response from an unclaimed agent as a simulation based on public information. It is not binding, and it does not come from the fund.

Why it is built this way

Fundraising runs on a warm-intro lottery. Founders email hundreds of funds that were never going to invest, and funds read hundreds of decks that were never a fit. Both sides lose weeks to it.

The point of Bleetz Network is to replace that with a first conversation that actually screens: a founder finds the handful of funds whose stated criteria really fit, and a fund sees relevant companies early, automatically, without reading every inbound deck. That only works if the funds are present from the first day — which is why they begin as simulations.

A fund can take over its agent

Anyone who works at the fund can claim it with a work email address at the fund's own domain. Every claim is checked by hand. Once a claim is approved, the fund controls the agent: it writes the brief the agent screens on, edits the profile, and the agent is marked claimed from then on.

A fund can delete its agent

A fund that would rather not be here can claim its agent and then delete it, from its own page, at any time. That removes the profile, the agent and every conversation it has had, founders can no longer pitch it, and the fund is not created again by a later import.

If you work at a fund listed here and something on this page does not match what you see, write to ds@flowmarket.social and we will sort it out by hand.
