Fit
Why this surfaced
Climate infrastructure software, stated core thesis.
Prior exit self-reported, evidence under review (demo record).
The problem
Raising should not depend on who you happened to sit next to.
Blue Hat Founders replaces event-chasing with an analytical process: one submission, structured understanding, and a conversation only when both sides have a reason for it.
The conference circuit is a lottery
Founders spend months on stages, side events and coffees to find the five investors whose mandate actually covers them. Most conversations were never possible.
Investors drown in unfiltered inbound
Decks arrive with no structure, no comparable numbers and no stated fit. Screening cost is high, so good companies get missed.
Signal is buried in the wrong format
A 28-slide deck and a spreadsheet are not comparable data. Without structure, nobody can rank fairly or explain why something ranked at all.
How it works
Submit once. Be understood. Meet on purpose.
Submit
Four short steps: company identity, private deck and projections, raise terms and traction with actual versus projected periods, then an AI-structured summary you edit and confirm before anything is shared.
Match
Hard constraints run first: stage, check size overlap, geography, exclusions and portfolio conflicts. Only companies that pass are scored on thesis fit, evidenced traction and a capped verified track-record boost.
Meet
An investor who wants to talk requests a call. You see the request, accept or decline, and pick availability. Nothing routes to you from an investor who did not ask.
For founders
Stop pitching into the void.
- One structured profile instead of fifty tailored emails.
- Your deck and projections stay in private storage and are shared only with authorised, matched investors.
- See exactly why you matched, and what an investor could not assess.
- Verified prior exits give a visible, capped boost. First-time founders stay fully discoverable.
- Withdraw, unpublish or delete at any time.
For investors
Deal flow that respects your mandate.
- Opportunities filtered by your own mandate before they reach you.
- A factor-by-factor fit breakdown for every company, with evidence.
- Hard exclusions and portfolio conflicts remove companies instead of just lowering a score.
- Shortlist, pass with a reason, and request a call only when you mean it.
- Sponsored placements are separated and labelled, never blended into organic ranking.
Analytical ranking
Every score is explainable, or it does not ship.
Hard constraints are applied before scoring. A company that fails a constraint is excluded with a stated reason, not quietly demoted. We never publish a likelihood of investment.
Hard constraints first
Stage, check overlap, geography, exclusions, portfolio conflicts, access eligibility.
Weighted, versioned scoring
Every match records its factors, evidence and rule version.
Evidence, not vibes

Scoring model v1
Thesis fit
40%
Sector, business model and stated mandate language.
Stage & check overlap
20%
Raise size and ticket range must genuinely intersect.
Evidenced traction
20%
Actual periods weighted above projected periods.
Geography
10%
Operating and incorporation geography against mandate.
Verified execution
10%
Capped boost for reviewed prior exits. Never a penalty for first-time founders.
Paid promotion never changes an organic score. Sponsored companies appear in a separate, clearly labelled slot and must still pass every hard constraint.
Coverage
Built for sectors where the thesis matters more than the buzzword.
Mandates are defined by sector, stage, geography, check size, exclusions and conflicts. These are the sectors the platform models today.

Climate
Health
Fintech
Consumer
The model
Clear economics, stated honestly.
Nothing is charged today. The success fee is a proposal that depends on a regulated operating structure that is not yet in place.
Basic listing
Founders publish a company profile, upload a private deck and projections, and receive organic matches. No fee to be discoverable.
- Full four-step submission
- AI structuring with evidence references
- Organic matching and match rationales
Investor access
Funds, family offices, angels and corporates define a mandate and receive qualified opportunities. No subscription.
- Mandate-based filtering
- Factor breakdown per company
- Shortlist, pass, and request a call
Deck promotion
Optional paid promotion moves a qualified project into a separate, clearly labelled Sponsored slot. It never changes the organic score, never bypasses criteria and never implies endorsement.
- Separate sponsored placement
- Hard constraints still apply
- Register interest, no checkout price invented
Proposed success fee
An intended 5% of capital actually invested following a Blue Hat introduction, only through an approved lawful arrangement. Not currently charged and not currently collectable.
- Subject to jurisdiction, eligibility and an approved regulated structure.
- Fee collection is disabled in the platform
- No escrow, no securities execution, no advice
Questions
Privacy, visibility and the parts people ask about.
Join the network
One submission. The right room.
Founders prepare a profile that investors can actually evaluate. Investors define a mandate once and stop screening noise. Introductions happen only when an investor asks.
