Is Your Dream VC Into You? (Metal x Corgi)
Is Your Dream VC Into You? (Metal x Corgi)
Most founders spend months pitching investors who were never going to invest. Wrong stage, wrong thesis, wrong sector, wrong cheque size.
So we're fixing that over coffee at Corgi Cafe in Shoreditch, and opening Metal free for a day.
Here's how the morning works:
The Napkin: Rumour has it the next billion-dollar company will start as a back-of-the-napkin idea at the Corgi Cafe. So grab a napkin and write down your startup in one line, plus your three dream investors.
The Live Reveal: We run your list through Metal on the big screen. The data shows which VCs are the right fit (based on data) and which will never respond, plus three better-fit investors to go after instead.
Your Real List: After the reveals, open Metal yourself to research any investor, dig into fit, and build your real investor list, with the Metal team on hand to help. Your free access lasts the rest of the day.
Most useful for founders raising now or in the next 6–12 months. Bring your laptop.
About Metal
Metal is an AI-native operating system for founders raising venture rounds, used by thousands of founders across 40+ countries and backed by Y Combinator and a16z speedrun. In just FY 2026, more than 100 rounds were closed by Founders using Metal with a total of $542million raised by those Founders.
Late last year, Techstars deprecated its own internal fundraising platform and made Metal the default fundraising OS across its 10,000+ portfolio companies — publicly endorsed by CEO David Cohen as the best-in-class solution for founders raising VC.
