The journey from ideation to fruition is laden with challenges, and securing the right investment is perhaps the most daunting of them all. It doesn’t have to be this way, though, and companies are always trying to bridge the gap between startups and funding. [The Platform]( is the latest one to take a stab at it. Designed to be an accessible hub between startups and investors, the Platform connects founders with verified VCs, allows you to apply for launching platforms and even make connections with experts from the likes of AWS and Meta. On the flip side, it aims to make VCs' lives easier with a comprehensive database that matches VCs with startups based on different criteria sets. As well as making doing your due diligence easier with insights on market impact, long-term viability, and more. Alongside making fundraising more accessible, The Platform also provides access to mentors across industries like ML, Generative AI, and the Metaverse so you can learn while you grow. [Connect with investors]( Sponsored By Being a founder is HARD. Finding product-market-fit is one of the toughest challenges that constantly poses questions like "Are people using my product? How are they using it? Are they returning to get value week over week?" When first starting out, Segment co-founders didn't understand how important these questions were or how to use analytics to answer them. So they spent 1.5 years and 7 different MVPs in their pursuit of product-market-fit before finding the secret sauce. Segment helps you collect, clean, and act on your customer data. You can now build fast with a reliable, performant, and compliant stack.
