Vetted deals, connected through generosity.
Every deal here was read by a person before you saw it. Investors tell us what they want. Founders tell us what they're raising. We introduce the right ones to each other, by name, through Joe Apfelbaum's network.
Read by a person first.
Founders are applying now. Every deal is read by a person before it goes up, so the first cards take a few weeks.
How vetting worksWe give first. Then we introduce.
Investors share stage, check size and sectors. Founders share what they're building and what they're raising.
Joe or someone on the team reviews every application and every deal. Most hear back within two business days.
Approved investors browse vetted deals as cards: category, stage, region, raise. Names appear when both sides agree.
A warm email from Joe, not an automated match. Then it's your conversation.
Find the right investor, not the loudest one.
VC firms, private equity, family offices and advisors, with check size, stage and sectors stated plainly. If your firm is listed, claim the profile and keep it accurate.
[PLACEHOLDER: Grant Drive Group bio. Joe to supply two or three sentences on what the firm does and who it works with.]
