FirstGlance connects startup founders with early-stage investors. Investors can search companies by industry, stage, location and other filters, then save searches and follow companies for updates on progress and traction. Founders choose what to share in their company profiles and can see profile-view and engagement analytics. When they are ready, founders can connect with investors; investors can request information and schedule meetings. FirstGlance says founders can use verified metrics to establish credibility. It is available on Android, iOS and the web, with a free plan. FirstGlance Pro founders can access the software credits and discounts the company advertises: more than $3 million across 270+ vetted tools, including Google Cloud, Notion, Segment and Mixpanel. The platform was founded in 2024 and is headquartered in the United States. Its privacy notice says it may receive social-login profile information if users choose that option, and may use Google Analytics and cookies or similar tracking technologies.
