Our Mission
At 103st, our mission is to make fundraising simpler, faster, and more accurate for founders. We've built the most effective system for connecting businesses with the right investors, eliminating guesswork and wasted time.
After working with hundreds of founders over the past year, we’ve seen firsthand how the road to securing capital is becoming increasingly difficult. That’s why we created 103st, the effortless and precise way to find the right venture fund.
With a network of over 1,000 VC funds and Pitchr, our AI-powered matchmaking tool, we help founders get in front of the investors who truly align with their vision. Our goal is simple: to be the fastest path from startup to funding.
Our Purpose
103st exists to opening doors between founders and investors, making fundraising faster, smarter, and more accessible. We remove the friction from the capital-raising process by leveraging data, AI, and an extensive network of VCs to match businesses with the right investors. Effortlessly. By cutting through the noise and inefficiencies of traditional fundraising, we empower founders to focus on what truly matters: building and scaling their vision.
Our Story
It all started when I walked into every VC office in the Denver metro area. No meetings, no connections, just a kid with a lot of questions and a drive to figure things out. I sat down with anyone willing to talk, listened, learned, and slowly started to see where I could provide real value.
What started as a media outlet gave me the chance to meet with hundreds of founders. I helped them get their names out there, told their stories, and most importantly, made introductions to the funds I was meeting along the way. I was connecting the dots before I even realized that’s what I was doing.
Then, one night, I was in bed counting startups like sheep when it hit me. The full picture of what 103st was supposed to be played out in front of me in minutes. The connections, the matchmaking, the real problem we could solve. Within 24 hours, I put together a team, mapped out the front end, built the framework, and created what is now Fund Finder along with Pitchr, the AI that sparks the magic.
I’m writing this on February 6, 2025, the day we launched Fund Finder, exactly one week from the night it all clicked. Without the years of sweat, late nights, and relentless persistence building 103st, we wouldn’t be here today. And the crazy part? This is just the beginning.
