What’s new
What changed in MatchFund, newest first, and where to see it.
Clearer outreach statuses
22 Oct 2026v1.5.0
Each status says what it means
Saved, Contacted, In talks, Declined and Not suitable each carry a short line, such as "They said no" or "You decided they’re not a fit", in the status menu and when you edit an entry.
Where: your Shortlist and an investor's page
Your outreach, higher on a phone
On a phone, "Your outreach" now sits right under the investor's name instead of at the bottom of the page.

Track your outreach
21 Oct 2026v1.4.0
Track your outreach on the Shortlist
Bookmarks is now the Shortlist. Mark each investor Contacted, In talks, Declined or Not suitable, set a follow-up date and keep a private note; investors due a follow-up come first. Members only.
Where: Shortlist, the labels on your investor list, and "Your outreach" on an investor's page
Delete your account yourself
Settings now has "Delete account": it removes your profile, shortlist and sign-in at once and ends a Member subscription the same day.
Where: Settings, at the bottom
The app fits your phone
The menu sits on two rows on small screens, and pages no longer zoom out.
Where: every page of the app, on a phone
Every deal from the last two years
An investor's recent deals now count the full two years, with "Show 20 more" instead of a cut-off.
Where: an investor's page
Clearer How to pitch
17 Oct 2026v1.3.0
Whether they lead, next to their cheque
"Leads rounds" or "Doesn't lead rounds" now sits with the investor's facts, from their own website.
Where: an investor's page
How to pitch on every VC we checked
When a VC's website gives no form, email or introduction route, the How to pitch box now says so and points you to its partners under Key people.

How to pitch, for many more VCs
17 Oct 2026v1.2.0
How to pitch, for many more VCs
We read the websites of every active VC: over 750 now say whether they take an online form, an email or introductions only, up from about 200, and whether they lead rounds. Members get the link or address.
Where: an investor's page
Conditions from the investor's own website
When an investor's site says it only backs a group (such as a university's spin-outs or teams with a woman founder), needs revenue first, or backs B2B only, the match quotes the site and links to the page it came from.
Where: match cards and the investor page
More sector exclusions
Investors whose site says they don't invest in your sector are ruled out, in their own words.
Where: the end of your investor list
Better-qualified matches
16 Oct 2026v1.1.0
Strong now needs a stated focus on your sector
A match is Strong only when the investor says it focuses on your sector; when we can't tell, it reads Conditional and says "No stated sector focus".
Where: your investor list
Investors' conditions, in their own words
Investors that only back their own programme's companies, need revenue first, or back B2B companies only now say so on the match, quoting the investor.
Where: match cards and the investor page
Two quick questions
When a condition depends on you, a one-tap question above your list asks whether you have revenue yet, or who you sell to.
Where: your investor list, and Settings
Ruled-out investors are set apart
Investors you don't qualify for no longer count as matches; they sit in a closed "Ruled out" box after your last match, each with the reason.
Where: the end of your investor list
Accelerators and angel networks get the same labels
Strong and Conditional with the reason, and a network's round size compared with yours.
Where: the Accelerators and Angel networks tabs
Their cheque, separate from the rounds they joined
An investor's page labels what they invest per company apart from the whole rounds they took part in, and the cheque filter now uses their cheque.
Where: an investor's page, and the filters
The evidence behind each check
Under the match score: the deal or the investor's own words behind each check, and when we checked.
