From your domain to your first investor email in fifteen minutes.
Centrale reads your website, writes your startup profile, scores every investor against your stage and sector, and sends from an inbox that is live the moment you sign up.
§ 1The problem
Raising is a search problem. Most founders solve it by hand.
Spreadsheets of funds, guessed email addresses, cold domains that land in spam. Centrale treats it like an exercise with a known method.
A domain, a stage, a raise amount, and a deck if you have one.
The fifty investors most likely to reply, and a first email to each of them.
The first email leaves today, not after two weeks of inbox warm-up.
§ 2How it works
Four steps, shown working.
The whole path from signup to the first investor email, timed.
Enter your domain
We read your homepage and pull out what you sell, who buys it and what you have shipped.
30 seconds
Answer five questions
Team size, values, stage, revenue, and your deck if you have one. We build the profile while you answer.
2 minutes
Get matched
Investors outside your stage or geography drop out, then the rest are scored on sector, stage and thesis.

§ 3Matching
Three passes, from the whole list to a shortlist.
Hard filters remove the impossible. A weighted score ranks the rest. Claude reads the top fifty and flags conflicts a formula cannot see.
Worked example 3.1
A seed-stage climate hardware company in Edinburgh, twelve months from revenue, raising £1.5m.
Step 1
Hard filters
Remove investors who do not write seed cheques or do not invest in the UK.
- Leafline Climate FundSeed, Series A. UK.
- Aster Impact CapitalSeed, Series A. Nordics and UK.
- Keel Street CapitalPre-seed to A. US only.
- Fornace Corporate VenturesSeries A and later.
- Pilot Light AcceleratorPre-seed only.
Step 2
Weighted score
| Investor | Sector | Stage | Thesis | Fit |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Leafline Climate Fund | 30 | 20 | 0.92 | 86 |
| Aster Impact Capital | 30 | 20 | 0.61 | 73 |
| Fornace Corporate Ventures | 30 | 0 | 0.74 | 52 |
Step 3
