Qodeo
Qodeo is a matching platform that connects entrepreneurs seeking capital with the venture capital and private equity firms most likely to fund them. Using proprietary, AI-enabled algorithms, it filters thousands of investors down to ranked 'Hot, Warm or Cool' matches based on a company's profile and funding criteria - free for investors and without taking commission. Led by founder and CEO Simon Glass and backed by cornerstone investor Sir Harvey McGrath, Qodeo tracks over 22,000 organisations globally and aims to democratise venture by giving all entrepreneurs, especially diverse founders, access to investors they would otherwise struggle to reach.
