DealRoom

Dealroom was inspired by the frustrating and outdated process of startup fundraising. One of the main issues startups face is funding. To fund their ambitions, founders often spend months cold-emailing investors, while investors struggle to efficiently find high-potential startups. Dealroom solves this by creating a fast, swipe-based platform where startups upload short video pitches and verified angel investors can instantly place real-time bids with preferred equity terms. Designed with Figma, our platform features secure investor verification, an AI-powered pitch coach who provides critiques, a messaging system between investors and founders, an explore page where investors can swipe through start-ups’ pitches, and a bid page where negotiations happen from both parties. During our design process, we faced challenges in building an interactive interface that differentiated itself from competitors. However, through research and trial and error, we’re proud of creating a unique working platform that can ease the issue of funding for startups. Through this process, we learned the importance of planning out important human-centered features that reduce friction and educate users. Moving forward, we plan to release a mobile version, integrate a variety of payment tools, launch accelerator partnerships, and expand our AI coaching capabilities.
