PitchDrive is a platform designed to support startups, particularly those operating in 'stealth mode'. The company provides resources, tools, and a community for entrepreneurs to connect, learn, and grow their businesses discreetly before a full-scale public launch.

PitchDrive

Pitchdrive is a radical break from traditional early-stage investing.

We want to get funding in the hands of great founders as soon as we can - in weeks, not months. Because entrepreneurs should focus on building a company, not on talking to investors.

With our data-driven engine, we can qualify seed-stage ventures faster than anyone on the market. This allows us to make seed-stage investing scalable for founders and investors.

🎉 We’re happy to announce the launch of introw.io 2.0: 

Revolutionising the way B2B partnerships are managed today. 

📢 Introducing: Digital Partnership Rooms

Forget about a traditional partner portal where:
❌ Partners need a login resulting in low adoption
❌ Partner experience is not personalised
❌ It takes months to implement

Welcome to the new way of collaborating with Introw PRM:
✅ Enable your partners with a simple URL 
✅ Personalise partner enablement at scale
✅ Forget about long implementations and custom development

By providing real-time metrics on partner engagement, we empower teams to identify and engage with key partners at the right moment, driving more opportunities and revenue.

It’s clear, partnership data lives in the CRM, so we’re leveraging that to the fullest with our native and 1-click HubSpot and Salesforce integration. 

Join us in revolutionizing B2B partnerships today and create your first partnership space for free at https://introw.io/

"Early-stage investments are mainly driven by serial entrepreneurs reinvesting in the ecosystem, thus giving back in a way similar to the US pay-it-forward principle in Silicon Valley."
