About Cortenx
Building a fairer path to capital
Cortenx is building a fundraising platform to connect founders in AI, Web3 and frontier tech with the investors who back them — one place for the whole fundraising lifecycle.
Our story
Fundraising has always favoured founders with the right network. A warm introduction could open a round; the absence of one could close it. We started Cortenx in 2025 to change that — to build a transparent, secure platform for the entire fundraising lifecycle, from deck upload to close.
We're still early. Cortenx is currently pre-launch: we are building the platform and speaking with our first founders and investors now.
We're a company based in London, building for founders everywhere and the investors who believe in them.
What we value
Founder-first
Every decision starts with whether it helps a founder run a calmer, faster raise.
Trust by design
Security, transparency and clear terms are built in, not bolted on later.
The right match
We optimise for fit over volume — the right investor beats a hundred cold intros.
Open access
A commitment to transparent, fair access so capital is not gated by who you already know.
Meet the team
Founder-led and hiring. We're building the team that will help founders close their rounds.
