What changed in MatchFund, newest first, and where to see it.
Better-qualified matches
16 Oct 2026v1.1.0
Strong now needs a stated focus on your sector
A match is Strong only when the investor says it focuses on your sector; when we can't tell, it reads Conditional and says "No stated sector focus".
Where: your investor list
Investors' conditions, in their own words
Investors that only back their own programme's companies, need revenue first, or back B2B companies only now say so on the match, quoting the investor.
Where: match cards and the investor page
Two quick questions
When a condition depends on you, a one-tap question above your list asks whether you have revenue yet, or who you sell to.
Where: your investor list, and Settings
Ruled-out investors are set apart
Investors you don't qualify for no longer count as matches; they sit in a closed "Ruled out" box after your last match, each with the reason.
Where: the end of your investor list
Accelerators and angel networks get the same labels
Strong and Conditional with the reason, and a network's round size compared with yours.
Where: the Accelerators and Angel networks tabs
Their cheque, separate from the rounds they joined
An investor's page labels what they invest per company apart from the whole rounds they took part in, and the cheque filter now uses their cheque.
Where: an investor's page, and the filters
The evidence behind each check
Under the match score: the deal or the investor's own words behind each check, and when we checked.
Where: an investor's page
