From pitch to backing, in four steps
Screening
Our team reviews every application and gives honest feedback. Promising pitches get help becoming pitch-ready.
Curated match
We match vetted founders to network members whose thesis actually fits — sector, stage and ticket size.
Introduction
A warm, contextual introduction — not a cold forward. What happens next is up to you; we stay close to help.
Why curated
Open marketplaces failed this problem. Curation fixes it.
Investors ignore cold decks. Founders waste months chasing the wrong doors. Government programs struggle to find quality pipelines. The missing piece isn't another directory — it's a screen and a trusted introduction.
- Every founder application is reviewed by a human before it goes anywhere
- Network members receive only pitches matching their stated thesis
- Introductions are contextual and warm — both sides know why they're meeting
- No pay-to-pitch. Founders never pay for access to investors
Questions, answered
Frequently asked questions
What does it cost founders to apply?
Nothing. Applying to Cohort 001 is free, and founders never pay for introductions to investors. If we later offer optional paid services (like intensive pitch coaching), they will always be clearly separate from access.
What stage should my startup be at?
Cohort 001 is open from idea stage to early revenue. What matters most is a clear problem, a credible team, and honest numbers. Aspirants with a strong concept but no company yet are welcome to apply — we'll tell you honestly if you're too early.
Who is in the network?
We are building the Founding Network now: angel investors, operators, industry experts and representatives of innovation programs, with a Pakistan-first focus. Founding members are individually vetted before joining — the same standard we apply to founders.
Does PitchArc invest directly?
No. PitchArc is not a fund and does not invest. We screen, prepare and introduce — investment decisions and terms are entirely between you and the people you meet.
What happens after I apply?
You'll hear from us within 7 working days. Every applicant gets a response — accepted, not yet, or a request for more information — and shortlisted founders get a screening call before any introduction is made.
Is PitchArc only for tech startups?
No. Technology-enabled businesses are a natural fit, but Cohort 001 is open to any scalable venture — from agri and health to education, retail and manufacturing.
The arc starts with a single application.
Founders: apply to Cohort 001. Investors and experts: claim one of 25 founding seats.
