How many startups can I follow, and what does it cost?

Compare free and paid follow allowances, check the places you use and learn how invitations work. Every plan has the same update channels.

The standard plans allow 5 follows free, 25 for $49 a month or 100 for $149 a month.

Search, read profiles and ask questions for free. Choose a follow plan for the number of startups whose progress you want to keep up with.

The first 100 investment firms have a founding offer of 25 free follows for 24 months. After that, the standard plans apply with 90 days' notice. Contact support if you need more than 100 follows.

Check your allowance

The startup's Follow card and the Follow window both show your allowance, for example 3 of 5 free follows used. Each active follow uses a place, except a startup you invited: invited startups never count toward the follow limit. A condition that has been met keeps the follow active with material updates.

If a new follow is waiting for a place, you can stop a follow you have finished with. The app can then activate a waiting follow. Check the list afterwards to see which follow is active.

To change your plan, contact support with the allowance you want. See plans opens your Wallet, which holds credits; searching, reading and following use none.

Every follow gets the same kinds of updates

Free and paid follows use the same update channels: the investor app, email and your connected AI when it asks. A larger plan gives you more follow places.

Choose material updates or a condition on each follow. Email preferences live in Settings > Notifications. They change email delivery while keeping your follow in place.

Startups you invite

Invited startups never count toward the follow limit. Once the founder has joined and uploaded their deck, check the follow in Following.

See How do I invite a startup? for the steps from invitation to follow.

Quick answers

Do I pay extra to get updates in my own AI?

The update channels are the same for every follow. Your follow allowance determines how many startups you can follow.

What happens when a condition is met?

The follow continues with material updates.

Where do follow places come from?

From your plan. Contact support to check or change it.
