Frequently asked questions

What does Founder Relay do?

Founder Relay ranks investors against your startup profile, researches fit and public activity, and prepares contextual outreach drafts. You review the evidence and control each message.

Does Founder Relay send emails automatically?

No. Founder Relay opens addressed drafts in your own mail client. You review the recipient, facts, and message before sending.

Can public research verify an investor's remaining capital?

Usually not. Fund announcements and recent investments are activity signals, not verified remaining cash balances. Capital-confidence estimates need direct validation.

Is Founder Relay a broker-dealer?

No. Founder Relay provides matching, research, and outreach preparation software. It does not provide investment advice, broker transactions, charge success fees, or guarantee funding.
