Web3 Fundraising Is Broken. Here’s How We Fix It.

If you’re a founder, you’ve lived it: endless pitch forms, cold intros that lead nowhere, and demo day momentum that fades by Monday.

If you’re an investor, your inbox is flooded with decks that don’t fit your thesis, buried in noise instead of surfaced with context.

If you’re an ecosystem lead, you spend months helping teams grow, only to lose visibility on what happens next.

Everyone is trying. But the fundraising infrastructure hasn’t kept up with the speed or complexity of Web3.

DeckNode is changing that.

What If Fundraising Worked Like Product-Market Fit?

In product, teams test, learn, and iterate until something clicks.

Capital should follow the same logic.

DeckNode is building the funding intelligence layer for Web3. We connect high-signal founders with aligned capital through AI scoring, thesis-based routing, and ecosystem-integrated matchmaking.

This isn’t another pitch form. It’s an infrastructure upgrade.

Designed for Precision, Not Volume

DeckNode doesn’t flood investors with decks or chase mass onboarding.

We partner with incubators, accelerators, DAOs, launchpads, and founder communities to surface top post-program teams with high-context deal flow. These projects are scored, filtered, and matched with investors based on sector focus, traction stage, and timing.

We don’t believe in volume for the sake of it. We believe in clarity.

"The best deals don’t come from chasing noise. They come from aligning signal. DeckNode was built to make that alignment scalable."
Philipe Salem, Founder of DeckNode

Expanding Access Without Losing Signal

The network is private and application-only, built to surface real opportunities while protecting quality.

We onboard qualified VCs, angel investors, DAOs, family offices, syndicates, accelerators, and ecosystem funds. Each is vetted for thesis clarity, capital activity, and founder alignment.

For founders, this means broader access to the right capital without the spam. For investors, it means less noise and more conviction.

“Fundraising in Web3 is just too difficult right now. Founders and investors are constantly wasting time on opportunities that are a poor match. Geography makes this even worse. I’ve seen brilliant founders from Asia, building world-class companies, struggle to raise capital from the West due to cultural gaps and limited access.

That’s why it is so important to connect the right founders to the right investors with the right context. After making over 300 investments bridging Asian founders and global VCs, I’ve learned that the best deals come from understanding a founder’s story and sharing their vision. Not from sifting through a mountain of pitch decks.”
