Investor matching
The right investors, ranked, with the reason beside every name
Describe the raise once. Ishara ranks 32,822 investors against it, prints why each one fits, shows the warm paths from your own CRM and briefs you before the meeting.
A shortlist in seconds · The same brief always returns the same ranking
The score
Every point has a name
Describe the raise: sectors, stage, where you raise, where they should be based, the cheque. Ishara ranks all 32,822 investors by a 160-point formula and prints the reasons each name earned, so a wrong reason is visible at once.
One score, spelled out: 2 sectors 40 + Seed 20 + cheque inside range 20 + based in Riyadh 15 + last deal 14 months ago 15 + leads rounds 10 = 120 of 160.
Where an investor invests and where they sit are two questions, and the form asks both, so a Riyadh seed investor never loses to a distant fund with an old record.
Warm paths
Four ways your CRM already knows them
Before anything goes out cold, open any name and the profile lists the paths from your own workspace: colleagues at the firm you track, investors in their peer graph, records with an email at the firm domain, and their portfolio companies in your CRM.
Titles only, strongest first, and never anything outside your own records. Warm introductions, step by step
The prep brief
Walk into the meeting already briefed
One click on any profile, and a brief that reads in under a minute.
The thesis
What they back, at which stage and cheque, and where your raise sits against it.
The track record
Their newest deals, the rounds they led and the ranked lists they sit on.
The way in
The warm paths from your own CRM and the name that can introduce you. AI you approve before it writes anything. Ishara AI

Frequently asked questions
How is the score built?
A fixed 160-point formula: sectors matched, 20 each up to 40; stages matched, 20 each up to 40; a cheque range that holds your ask, 20; declared investment geography, 15; based in your raise location, 15; a deal within 18 months, 15; leads rounds, 10; a Top-100 seat, 5.
Do warm paths use my email addresses?
No. The four rules match on records in your own CRM, colleagues, peers and portfolio companies, and return record titles only. Archived records never resurface, and the search runs over your workspace only.
Can I share the shortlist?
Yes. The match is a URL that carries the criteria, so anyone in your workspace who opens it sees the same ranking with the same reasons. Selected rows can also go into a shared raise pipeline.
