While we don't verify specific claims because reviewers' opinions are their own, we may label reviews as "Verified" when we can confirm a business interaction took place. Read more

To protect platform integrity, every review on our platform—verified or not—is screened by our 24/7 automated software. This technology is designed to identify and remove content that breaches our guidelines, including reviews that are not based on a genuine experience. We recognise we may not catch everything, and you can flag anything you think we may have missed. Read more

Excellent, original tool

Such an excellent tool to source relevant investors in your industry. The breakdown of min/max check sizes, recent investments, and portcos (plus stage invested!) is super helpful. Always very impressed with how many updates and enhancements are made.

The only thing missing is being able to search by investor when you want to personalize outreach, but other than that it’s such a useful tool and has really sped up my fundraising prep.

Smart and Free search engine!

I used shipshape when I was looking to raise for my early stage startup. The leads generated by the search engine were very helpful. Daniel and the team truly understand the pain points of founders looking to raise.

Fundraising Starts Here

ShipShape is a brilliant platform designed for founders by a founder who recognised the struggle finding the 'right' investor.

Easy to use. Free. Overflowing with relevant insights. ShipShape is a godsend for founders like me when raising investment.

PS - It's perfect for investors too, seeking their ideal investee!

Great service

Great service. JustFix found the platform easy to use and extremely valuable. We are sure many other startups and scale-ups will do too. Daniel and the team are very approachable and always keen to help. Highly recommended.

shipshape is an amazing tool

shipshape is an amazing tool. It helped me multiple times to understand which investors (angels and VC's) are a good fit for my Startup Off U Go!

Saved me many hours of research and having a platform that curates information and delivers so much needed information is adding so much value to my strategy and allowing me to plan ahead.

And all the support they give is a mindblowing extra on top of so many positive offers they provide.

Love this platform

Love this platform, it's just what we need as a start up. Wish I had found it months ago. Can't believe they don't charge 👍

A brilliant resource

Searching for investors is something of a minefield. Funds and Angels investors all have remits, preferences, criteria, and ShipShape is currently helping us to find the right people to approach, saving both founders and investors a world of wasted time and energy. A brilliant resource!!

SO useful!

The team at ShipShape gave us insights into things that just don't seem to be out there. From access to advisors to understanding what VCs are up to. I can't believe it's not already a thing!

I may need to delete my email address after signing up

After creating a fresh work email address I signed-up to ShipShape VC to help contact VCs.

Within a week I was receiving tens of emails a day from other companies trying to sell me all sorts of rubbish from organising corporate balloon parties to hiring remote data entry employees. Most of these are not being caught by the spam filter and I may have to burn my address since they are consistently blowing up my inbox.

The website itself, although looks fantastic, doesn't provide any real value. I used it for a few days but it mostly provided generic categorisation for VCs.

I ended up trading a life-time of unfiltered spam for what amounted to a glorified google search.

Hi John, I'm sorry to hear that you have been spammed. Please let me assure you that no corporate balloon party organisers nor providers of remote data entry folk get your data from us. We have carefully selected panels of people that we work with e.g. investment agencies that can provide you with funding. Not party organisers.

If you want further details on who might be able to help you, please do get in touch on info@shipshape.vc
