We match your profile to investors actively looking for businesses like yours. No more cold outreach. No more mismatched pitches. Just warm introductions to capital that fits.

See how investors will score your deal

Our DEFLOW (Deal Flow Score) is the same composite score investors use to decide if your deal is worth their time. It combines five factors — mandate fit, financial strength, offtaker quality, funding readiness, and market conditions — into a single number out of 100. Drag the sliders to see what moves the needle.

Africa doesn't have a capital shortage. It has a matching problem.

The money is there. DFIs, private equity firms, commercial banks, impact funds — they're all actively looking to deploy capital into African businesses. The problem is that the right founders and the right funders never find each other.

CapitalOS fixes the matching. We score founders the way institutional investors score them, map them to funders whose mandates actually fit, and reduce the friction that causes years-long capital raises to fail at the first hurdle.

Founders know exactly where they stand — before they pitch

Investors see only the deals that fit what they're actually looking for

Time-to-capital drops from months of cold outreach to matched, warm introductions

106+ active funders mapped, scored, and connected to the right opportunities

Built for South Africa. Expanding across the continent.
