Raisi

Shout out and huge thank you to Yui Koda and the @PlugandPlayTC team for hosting our Co-Founder Robert Harary and the Raisi team yesterday to speak on what we’re seeing firsthand across today’s private markets. Great room of founders, fund managers, and investors. 🚀 🎤 Topic: “The State of the U.S. Private Market in 2026” What Matters to Venture Investors and How Capital Is Actually Moving For decades, founders have raised capital through spreadsheets, fragmented networks, social equity, and manual effort. Raisi captures real-time behavioral data from companies actively raising and investors actively evaluating opportunities every single day. This gives us a live view into: • What venture investors across the U.S. are actually prioritizing • How different investor types are behaving in today’s market • Where capital activity is clustering geographically • Which signals predict whether a round gains momentum or stalls The result is a real-time map of how the private market is actually functioning in 2026. Excited for more conversations ahead with founders, fund managers, and investors building through this next cycle. 📈 #SF #startup #fundraising #vc #plugnplay #founder

@raisi_ai We love team Raisi!

Huge thanks to @brookeleblanc and the Corgi Team for hosting us at their SF cafe last month! 🐕 What an event. A room full of incredible founders actively fundraising, real conversations, and the energy you only get when the right people are in the same room. Corgi is rebuilding insurance from the ground up AI-native, full-stack, and built by a team that actually gets it. The product, the speed, and the way they show up for the founder community tell you exactly where this is going. More of these coming. More amazing partners. More incredible people and founder interviews from recent @ycombinator batches dropping soon. Stay tuned! #founder #investor #vc #ai #fundraising #YC #entrepreneur

Some great friendly competition last night with our friends at @raisi_ai, so many more fun events, stay tuned!

We released the Investor Reply Agent. It’s trained on messaging data, investor requests, and interaction patterns from active raises on Raisi, combined with publicly available data that shows how early investor conversations typically develop. The agent interprets the different types of messages investors send, such as requests for the deck, traction details, valuation clarification, or follow-up questions. It analyzes the context of the incoming message, including publicly available information about the investor, and generates a reply that fits the specific situation and stage of the discussion. Founders on Raisi get replies that reflect real investor behavior, reduce the time spent writing messages, and increase the chances of moving each conversation forward. #fundraising #startups #raisi

Raisi is now part of the Forbes Technology Council!⁠ ⁠ It’s a vetted community for senior tech leaders.⁠ ⁠ We’ll cover the parts of fundraising that tech is shifting and how founders can use that to run a better raise.⁠ ⁠ #foundercommunity #fundraising #startups #techleaders #venturecapital

Raisi spoke at Plug and Play today, and we focused on what is actually happening in fundraising right now. The last 18 months completely reshaped how investors evaluate companies, how they respond, and what they expect from founders. A lot of what used to work barely moves the needle anymore. Investor timing looks different. The way they read a story changed. The signals they react to are stronger and more selective. We talked about what stopped working and what founders are doing today to get real traction. We see this every day across hundreds of active raises on the platform. The patterns are clear. When founders understand how the process works now and not how it used to work, replies and interest pick up fast. Thanks to the Plug and Play team for having us. We will share the full recording of the talk on our Instagram soon. #plugandplay #fundraising #venturecapital #startupgrowth #investoroutreach #raisi

We ran into one of our customers at Plug and Play. He shared his experience with Raisi, and it was amazing. Moments like this remind us why we do what we do.

The cleanest way to choose: Match the instrument to the type of investor you’re talking to and understand how it will convert on your cap table. The document usually isn’t the real issue. The real issue is whether the terms create a fair outcome for this stage of your company.

Both end up in the same place. They convert into equity later. The difference is the level of protection, the timing expectations, and the structure each side wants.

Meet Raisi. The first AI-native fundraising platform. Raisi helps founders reach the right investors faster. It studies how investors behave, what they focus on, and when they engage, then reaches out from the founder’s name with messages personalized by AI. Each message feels relevant and well-timed, helping founders start real conversations with the right people. And this is just the beginning. We’re building a warm intro system, an AI-native fundraising CRM, and other products that will change how founders raise capital. Raisi is redefining how fundraising gets done.

The transition from Weraise to Raisi is happening now. We’ve been moving everything we built over the years into a new product that’s smarter, faster, and ready to scale. This is the moment we start introducing it publicly. Raisi is more than a new name. It’s a major step toward everything we’re building next.

We’re becoming Raisi. Weraise started with one goal: to help founders raise money faster and with less stress. Over the last few years, we’ve worked with hundreds of founders, learning what truly drives investor interest and what slows teams down. Those lessons became the foundation for something much bigger. Raisi is the first AI-native fundraising platform. It helps founders find the right investors, personalizes every message for each one, and runs the outreach automatically, while keeping the process simple and human. And this is just the beginning. We’re now building an Warm Intro system, an AI-native fundraising CRM, and other products that will make the entire fundraising experience smarter, faster, and more connected. Welcome to Raisi!

🚀 started with @weraiseco this week.

Weraise uses AI to spot signals about investors, so you can reach out at the right time with the right offer. It’s the best gameplay on the market right now, especially as raising capital gets more competitive every month.

Investors aren’t browsing— They’re picking companies that are distinct, technical, and clear on why now.
