Visible alternatives: what to use for each part of your raise

Sublimnl

The raise, from the warm-up through the follow-up.

• Two-week warm-up

  Posts about your market go out 12, 7 and 3 days before the deck, from your own accounts. None name your company. Before your deck goes out, the problem you solve is already in the conversation. When your deck arrives, the timing feels right.

• Launch press release

  Your press release goes out Tuesday to Thursday of launch week. You pick the headline, lock the words, and choose the service.

• A separate email to each investor

  Each investor gets their own email, with the first slides in the message. No CC or BCC.

• Deck reading

  See how long someone spent on each page. Opens and pages read are counted for each investor. Email scanners that pre-open the link stay out of the open count.

• Deck versions

  Yes. Keep as many decks as you need, and keep older versions.

• Follow-ups

  Follow-ups drafted from what that investor read. A reply stops the drafts.

• Leads CRM

  A Leads CRM for the investors you are talking to.

• Recently raised

  Recently raised, refreshed daily from SEC Form D filings.

• Investor list

  Every name traced to an SEC filing. 8,700+ VC firms, 7,200+ named partners, 30,000+ startup raises. Built from SEC Form D filings and updated weekly. As of October 2026. Updated weekly.

• Investors in your category

  Firms that backed a similar company in the last 24 months. Each deal shows the filing, the announcement, or both.

• LinkedIn coach

  A daily coach while you warm investors up: a profile link, recent topics, and comment angles. You write the comment. Nothing is posted for you.

• Weekly follow list

  Each week, a list of investors to follow before the deck goes out. You follow them yourself.

• Monthly numbers

  Save MRR, revenue, burn, runway, and customers by month, and drop the latest figures into the investor update. Included before you pay.

• Data room

  An add-on, on top of the plan: $199 for 90 days, $59 a month, or $499 a year. PDF pages and PDF downloads carry that investor’s email as a watermark. They accept your NDA before the files open. You see who opened a file and who downloaded it.

• Press after you raise

  A funding press release in the same editor. You pick a service that accepts funding news. If that service charges, you pay them.

• Investor updates

  Yes. Each investor gets their own email, up to 1,000. You can see who opened it. On a paid plan you can send from the founder's own domain. Otherwise the email comes from Sublimnl, with your name on it and replies to you.

• Seats

  One seat, or two. Two is the maximum. A teammate can draft.

• Price

  $99 a month or $999 a year for one seat. Two seats are $128 a month or $1,099 a year. No free trial. Monthly numbers are included before you pay. Sending an update from your own domain is on the paid plan. The data room is the add-on above.
