There are infinite problems AI can solve, but AI startups can be placed in 4 general buckets

FundingBanker now shows if an investor accepts cold applications or not

Of course, all investors would rather be introduced to a founder by a credible connection, but such warm intros are not always possible, and this allows the founders to know if they can approach the investor without any prior intro or not

Raising money is probably one of the most chaotic parts of building a startup

Recently found Funding Banker, looks like a pretty clean way to organize the whole fundraising process, from finding investors to managing outreach and updates

Also liked that they highlight niche and meaningful investment spaces instead of only chasing hype
