FAQ
Got questions? We got you.
Is there a monthly subscription fee for investors?
No. For individual investors and angels, SouthStarter operates on a success-aligned model. We do not charge upfront management fees or monthly retainers. We only win when you win. For institutional funds, we offer bespoke scouting tiers with dedicated SLAs.
How is this different from a directory or a cold outreach tool?
Directories are static and cold outreach is low-signal. SouthStarter is an autonomous agent that actively scouts, vets founders via Telegram, and only facilitates a connection when a deal hits your exact investment mandate. We deliver warm, double-opt-in introductions, not just names on a list.
How do warm, double-opt-in introductions work?
Our AI secures mutual interest privately before any contact info is shared. Once both the founder and the investor confirm interest based on the vetted data, the agent automatically triggers a warm email introduction to both parties.
How does the AI vet founders and growth metrics?
Founders engage in a deep-dive interview with our AI Partner on Telegram. The agent audits traction, CAC/LTV ratios, and product-market fit signals to ensure they meet institutional-grade benchmarks before they are ever referred to a fund.
What does the "Carry" model mean for my fund?
It means our incentives are 100% aligned with yours. Instead of charging for "seats" or "leads," we act as a fractional scouting partner. We only receive a portion of the performance carry on successful deals that close via a SouthStarter referral.
How long does it take to see the first vetted deals?
Once you define your investment mandate, our agent begins mapping its network immediately. Most investors receive their first high-conviction shortlist in less than 10 minutes, with the first partner-level meeting typically scheduled within 7 days.
What happens if a referral is declined?
High-signal deal flow requires constant refinement. If an introduction is declined, the AI analyzes the feedback to further sharpen your mandate, ensuring the next referral is even more precise.
How is my investment mandate kept private?
Your specific thesis and benchmarks are used exclusively by your AI Partner to filter deals. Founders only see that they have been matched with a "top-tier fund" until the double-opt-in interest is secured.
