Curated, not a marketplace
We only share qualified startups that have passed multiple filters, and we highlight those we’ve conducted diligence on.
A co-investment network for the opportunities MatchPlay Ventures backs. We source, diligence, and invest first. You choose which ones to join.
Private-market investors don’t need more companies in their inbox. They need clearer rationale and opportunities that fit their strategy.
We only share qualified startups that have passed multiple filters, and we highlight those we’ve conducted diligence on.
Every opportunity comes with our thesis, key findings, and the risks we see, not just a pitch deck.
There is no obligation to invest. Review each opportunity on its own and participate only when it fits.
Invest through MatchPlay-sponsored SPVs, with subscriptions, reporting, K-1s, and distributions managed for you.
Five steps from sourcing to your decision. Only the last one is yours, and it’s always optional.
01
Broadly: founders, other funds, universities, accelerators, industry relationships, and MatchPlay Group.
02
Team, market, technology, IP, regulatory, commercialization, financials, and valuation. Depth scales with sector, stage, and complexity.
03
Diligence informs the decision; it doesn’t make it. MatchPlay Ventures decides independently, and being a MatchPlay Group client never guarantees its capital.
04
When we have conviction, we invest directly or sponsor an SPV, then invite Capital Partners to review the opportunity.
05
Participation is optional, deal by deal, based on your own thesis, risk tolerance, and check size.
Each opportunity arrives as a complete package: our full reasoning, not just a deck.
The company, the problem it solves, and the financing.
Why we believe the opportunity deserves your consideration.
Key findings, and the issues we think you should weigh.
Round structure, valuation, security type, and SPV terms.
How the capital is deployed and the milestones it should reach.
Hear from management and ask questions before you commit.
Most opportunities run through a single MatchPlay-sponsored SPV, with every cost disclosed before you commit.
Capital Partners invest together: one subscription, one position on the company’s cap table.
Administrative, banking, tax, and compliance work may be handled by specialized third-party providers.
Terms vary by transaction and are disclosed before subscription.
Operating, financing, commercial, regulatory, and clinical milestones.
Investment documents and SPV information in one place.
Founder sessions and portfolio updates.
Exit proceeds coordinated through your investment vehicle.
Tell us what you invest in. We’ll only share the opportunities that fit.
