Mercury Raise:
Round 3

We’re launching our third round of Mercury Raise today. Our last round of Raise connected hundreds of seed and pre-seed startups with top early-stage investors, including First Round, Village Global, CRV, and Homebrew. And that’s not all.

• 750+ startups applied (up from 400+ in Raise round 1)
• 50 startups were selected, including 12 international teams from India, Ghana, Mexico, Malaysia, and more. 96% of them got intros with investors.
• Graviti, a Mexico City-based BNPL startup, raised almost their entire $2.5m round from Raise investors Active Capital, Matt Brezina, and Kevin Patrick Mahaffey. You can read more about their raise in Crunchbase.

Everyone looked great in their custom Raise merch, too.

We’ve made this round even better

With every round of Raise, we’re doing more to help early-stage founders build and fund their startups. Here’s what you can expect from Raise Round 3:

• More investors: Raise startups will now be shared with over 250 early-stage investors. Some of the newest investors to sign on include Aileen Lee (Cowboy Ventures), Jeff Seibert and Wayne Chang (Digits), and Ed Roman (Hack VC).
• Expanded networking: We’ll connect you with your fellow Raise founders to build your network and talk shop with your peers.
• New advice channels: You’ll get 1:1 pitch feedback from top investors, as well as exclusive talks and Q&As with investors and seed-stage founders who just successfully raised.

How to apply for Raise Round 3

First, you’ll fill out our quick application form. Our selection board of top investors will then choose 50 startups to join the round within 2 weeks.

The next round of Raise applications is now open until May 18. All you need to apply is a pitch deck and a little information about your company. Signing up takes about 5 minutes.
