About this Program

The Feed is an industry-wide initiative to change how founders connect with investors and create a more inclusive and representative pipeline for startups.

Our Investment Focus

To join our limited pilot program and connect with investors that fit your company, please fill out your Gust Profile and The Feed application (done by clicking the 'submit your company' button on this page), and then the Gust Startup Evaluation. Rather than searching for many different investors and applying to their programs directly, The Feed uses a predetermined set of filters and preferences to automatically get your deal in front of the investors most likely to be interested in supporting your venture.


The goal of The Feed is to create a more inclusive and equitable fundraising process. We collect certain demographic information about founders to measure our progress toward this goal and provide better opportunities for founders. This information is held separate from what investors see. 



The Feed is being piloted by Gust and has support from other major industry players. For more questions about The Feed or our work, email thefeed@gust.com.


If you've already completed the application on this page, your next and final step is to fill out the Startup Evaluation form linked here. Make sure to sign in with the same account used to fill out the application on this page.
