Apply with Fons

Route inbound founders
through Fons.

Apply with Fons is a button for VC funds to place on contact and submit-a-deck pages. Founders click it from the fund's site and complete a structured Fons profile instead of sending another unstructured deck.

Pre-launch. Built for VC funds that want cleaner inbound from their own application pages.

Fund intake route

Your submit-a-deck page becomes structured intake.

  • ReviewFund receives comparable evidence

The problem

Most submit-a-deck pages create messy, incomplete inbound.

A contact form or deck upload tells investors too little. A free-form inbox creates extra analyst work. Apply with Fons gives VC funds a standard route from founder interest to structured company profile, evidence, and review context.

How it works

A button on the fund site. A structured intake flow in Fons.

  1. 01

    The fund adds the button.

    Place Apply with Fons on the fund's contact, submit-a-deck, or founder application page.

  2. 02

    Founders enter from that page.

    Inbound founders click through from the VC's site and begin a fund-specific Fons intake route.

  3. 03

    Fons structures the submission.

    The founder creates a company profile with team, product, traction, GTM, market, capital context, deck, and supporting evidence.

  4. 04

    The fund reviews cleaner inbound.

    The VC receives comparable startup profiles and can request missing evidence before deeper diligence.

What changes

Cleaner inbound for funds. Less wasted effort for founders.

A. For VC funds

Replace loose deck drops with structured intake.

Inbound arrives as comparable company profiles instead of disconnected emails, forms, and attachments.

B. For founders

Know what evidence to provide.

Founders follow the fund's Fons route and submit the context investors need, without guessing what should sit in a cold email.

C. For diligence

Requests become specific.

When a claim needs backing, the fund can ask for evidence against that part of the profile rather than restarting the conversation.

For fund application pages

The button belongs on VC websites.

Funds add the button where founders currently email a deck, fill a contact form, or upload a pitch. The destination is a fund-specific Fons intake route.

For VC funds

Add structured intake to your application page.

Fons is in private build. Request access if you want inbound founders to come through a structured profile instead of a loose deck drop.
