Seven tools, one continuous raise
Vanelo is not seven products you have to stitch together. The round you open feeds the assessment, the assessment sharpens the valuation, the valuation goes into the deal room, and the data room is what your matched investors open. Each tool below has its own page, but on the platform they are one workflow.
What you get, in the order you use it
Built for first-time equity founders in the UK, so nothing here assumes you have raised before.
Round Management
Run a round through Draft, Active, Completed or Abandoned, holding the funding ask, currency, pre-money valuation and equity offered in one record. Use of funds, previous raises and SEIS or EIS tax relief sit alongside it.
Investability Assessment
The Vanelo Investability Framework: 14 questions across three weighted dimensions, Viable business (40 points), Sizable opportunity (35) and Backable team (25), scored out of 100. Your score lands in one of the framework's tiers.
Valuation Engine
Three methodologies run over your numbers: Scorecard, weighing nine factors against a comparable median pre-money, Berkus on five monetary tiers, and Venture Capital from Year-5 EBITDA with a cap.
Digital Data Room
Organise and share pitch decks and legal documents with per-recipient access grants and expiry, rather than emailing a deck and losing sight of it. An access log shows you who opened what.
Investor Database
1,389 investor records, made up of 387 VC firms and 1,002 angels, with 83 based in the UK. An automated target list matches you on three tests: stage, sector and ticket compatibility.
Advisory Services
Book a session with a fundraising advisor when one part of the raise needs a second pair of eyes. Services are configured by an administrator and priced per service, so you pay for the session you book.
Inspiration Hub
Curated articles, playbooks and template banks, kept in the platform next to the work itself. It is the reading for the parts of a first raise nobody explains to you in advance.
What holds the seven together
The tools share one round, so work done in one of them shows up in the next. Three more parts of the platform run across all of them.
Showcase campaigns take your round public. A campaign is reviewed by Vanelo before it goes live, and once live it is visible to verified investors in Deal Discovery. Investors must complete verification before they can read full campaign detail.
Due diligence readiness is a checklist of 20 items across six categories, so the questions an investor will ask are answered before they are asked rather than during the raise.
The investor CRM carries an eight-stage pipeline: Target, Contact Initiated, Data Room Shared, Active Engagement, Term Sheet Received, Due Diligence, Deal Agreed and Funds Committed. Every investor you approach sits at one of those stages.
One thread through the raise
Open a round with your ask, valuation and use of funds. Score it against the Investability Framework and see which tier you land in.
Run the Valuation Engine for a defensible range, never a single recommended figure, and take that range into the data room with your deck and legal documents.
Build a target list from the investor database, share the data room with the people on it, and move each of them along the eight-stage pipeline until the funds are committed.
