THE PROBLEM Venture funding is broken on both sides of the table. Founders spend 6–12 months fundraising, sending cold emails into the void, guessing which investors are a fit, and losing precious product time on misaligned outreach. Finding the right investor is like finding a needle in a haystack. Investors, meanwhile, are drowning in inbound that doesn’t match their thesis or fund constraints. They burn 60–80% of their time screening deals they will never do, miss great opportunities because of network bias and noise, and struggle to systematically back more diverse, high‑performing teams. The result: women and other underrepresented founders are consistently overlooked, and capital is consistently misallocated. Uma exists to fix this. WHAT UMA IS Uma is an AI‑native, bi‑directional discovery and matching platform for venture. We help founders and investors find each other faster and more intelligently using structured data, learned preferences, and workflow tools that sit across the entire fundraising and investing journey. OUR MISSION To close the venture funding gap by making it faster, fairer, and more data‑informed for the right founders and investors to find each other—especially the diverse teams traditional processes overlook. If you’re a founder tired of shouting into the void, or an investor tired of drowning in noise, Uma is being built for you.
