FAQs

Have a question that you don't see answered? Don't hesitate to reach out to help@thunder.vc

Who is Thunder designed for?

Thunder is designed for three key investor profiles:

  1. Venture Funds: VCs Thunder to access a broader range of deal flow, keep track of emerging sectors, and discover vetted, high-quality opportunities aligned with their investment strategies.

  2. Family Offices: Thunder acts as their due diligence and deal flow arm, providing access to direct investment opportunities without fees, making it easier to invest in direct deals.

  3. High Net-Worth Individuals: Thunder helps HNWIs discover innovative founders and projects that align with their interests and strategic goals.

How does Thunder work for investors?

There are no fees for investors to participate or invest directly on a company's cap table.

Investors engage with Thunder in two ways:

  1. Active Engagement: Upload your investment thesis and criteria to the platform. Thunder then connects you with relevant opportunities based on your preferences.

  2. Passive Engagement: Thunder delivers fewer, highly-tailored, and vetted deals directly to you, focusing on quality and fit.

What types of companies and deals are on Thunder?

Thunder predominantly works with B2B and B2C technology companies, spanning software and hardware. Deal stages range from pre-seed to pre-IPO. For companies that Thunder works with, transaction sizes usually range from $5M to $50M.

 

How does Thunder help with due diligence?

Thunder ensures that the companies presented to investors are "transaction-ready," meaning all key information is packaged and easily accessible. This approach minimizes back-and-forth and makes for a smoother investment process.

How does Thunder make money?

While all tools and services are free for investors, Thunder charges issuers (companies raising capital) a small transaction fee when a deal closes.

Is Thunder a registered broker-dealer?

Yes. Thunder operates through Jason Kirby, a registered representative with Stonehaven LLC, a FINRA-registered broker-dealer. All investment communications are conducted by licensed professionals.

Thunder X Capital, LLC offers securities through Stonehaven, LLC, a Member of FINRA/SIPC. Regulatory disclosures: Disclaimers & Risks, Privacy Policy and Form CRS.

 

How do I get started?

Simply create a profile, upload your investment thesis, and start browsing or receiving matched deals. Once you find an opportunity that interests you, connect directly with the founder to learn more and begin the investment conversation.

How do Thunder's algorithms work?

Thunder uses proprietary algorithms to match investors with opportunities based on their investment thesis and preferences. These algorithms prioritize quality and relevance, helping you find the right deals faster.

 

What sets Thunder apart from other platforms?

  • No Fees for Investors: Thunder offers free access to direct investments without any hidden charges.

  • Tailored Deal Flow: Thunder delivers high-quality, vetted deals that align with your unique investment preferences.

  • Streamlined Due Diligence: Companies on Thunder are ready to transact, saving investors time and effort.

What kind of communication should I expect from Thunder?

You’ll receive two types of deal notifications:

  1. Founder Outreach: Founders that match your thesis can send targeted outreach directly to you via our platform.

  2. Thunder Vetted Deals: Occasionally, we’ll send thoroughly diligenced, investment-ready deals to your email. These are high-quality opportunities vetted by our team.

How We Get Deals Scored

 

Company Scores

Thunder’s AI calculates a dynamic company score using a logistic regression model, which is recalculated constantly as we add, update, and remove companies. This bell-curve approach reflects the reality that investors typically focus on extreme outliers—the companies most likely to be funded. However, our Match Scores ensure a balanced system, keeping unlikely matches open to level the playing field and create more opportunities for companies to connect with the right investors.

Match Scores & Quality Matches

Thunder’s AI assigns a Match Score to every potential investor-company connection, factoring in variables like stage, sector, location, revenue, product adoption, and more to identify the best fit.

  • 75% of companies have at least one qualified match.

  • 64% of companies have at least five qualified matches.

  • 54% of companies have 15+ qualified matches.

Investor Score

Thunder tracks investor velocity on a quarterly basis to predict the likelihood of investment activity.
