Meet Sterling
Your AI cofounder for the raise.
Bring your deck. Sterling builds the raise plan, finds the gaps investors will probe, drafts every email and keeps every follow-up moving — so you spend your time on the conversations, not the admin.
- A living raise plan from your deck, in minutes
- Honest readiness — what's on record, what's thin, what's missing
- Drafts that open in your own Gmail, follow-ups that never slip
Start with what you have
A deck, a website, or a few sentences. No account needed yet — Sterling starts right away.

The raise plan
Your whole raise, always current.
Target, timing, committed so far, every investor's stage and the one next move — kept up to date from your conversations, not a spreadsheet.
Readiness
Honest about what's missing.
Story, team, market, traction, the ask, diligence materials. Sterling tells you what's on record, what's thin and what investors will ask for next — before they do.
Drafts
It writes the email. You send it.
Sterling drafts the follow-up with the numbers partners probe first. It opens in your own Gmail or Outlook — nothing goes out without you.
Not raising? Here's what Capsignal is for you.
Investors
Follow founders without the noise.
Founders on Capsignal send short monthly signals — real numbers, 500 characters, no decks to wade through. Following takes one email address. No account, unsubscribe anytime. When a founder raises, you've already watched them execute.
Connectors & family offices
Your investor relationships, private.
A private book of every fund and person you know, with Sterling to keep it current. Ask everyone where they stand on allocations in one round — each gets a 30-second form, no login — and the answers land in your book.
Proven in real raises
We raised our own round on Capsignal.
Capsignal is built by founders and capital raisers who have run fundraises from pre-seed to Series A. We ran our own raise on it first: the first angel checks came from investors who had followed us for only a few weeks. At investor events in New York, Atlanta and London, more than 20 investors followed Capsignal on the spot.
Questions
Before you start
What does Sterling actually do?
It reads what you bring — your deck, website, notes, a LinkedIn export — and turns it into a living raise plan: the target and timing, every investor and their stage, what's on record and what's missing, and the next move. You talk to it like a cofounder; it drafts the emails, tracks the follow-ups and keeps the plan current.
Does anything get sent in my name automatically?
Never. Sterling drafts; you send. Every email opens in your own Gmail or Outlook, and nothing goes to an investor that you haven't read yourself.
Do investors need an account?
No. Investors follow a founder with a single email field — no login, no app — and every email carries a one-click unsubscribe.
Is my data private?
Yes. Your deck, investor list and notes are yours alone — never shared with other users or sold. You can export your investor list as a CSV at any time.
What does it cost to start?
Nothing. Start with your deck, no card and no setup call.
