Veck's First Email

Happy Monday, everyone! This is Igor, Co-Founder and CEO of Veck—the data-driven tool for finding the best private market deals. This weekly newsletter shares some of the deals discovered through our platform and product updates.

What’s new

We added a 'round status' field, allowing you to filter projects by statuses: 'about to raise,' 'just raised,' 'raising now,' and 'may be raising,' where we can get it using our algorithm.

We introduced a new status, 'founder building in stealth,' where you can find early-stage founders with interest from top VCs.

We refined our social media analysis on LinkedIn, Twitter, and Product Hunt. Based on user feedback, we now only show projects from connections and followings.

We launched an 'intro help' feature, enabling you to create a ticket and receive contact information of the founders: email, LinkedIn, and Twitter.

When you click on an interested fund, you can now see the exact date of their interest and the person who interacted with the project or its founders.
