Philosophy
Why Community-Powered?
Most SaaS tools optimize for revenue per seat. We optimize for founder success.
No Per-Seat Pricing
Fundraising is a team sport. We don't penalize you for adding your CFO, board members, or advisors. Everyone who needs access gets it.
No Feature Gating
Pipeline management, data rooms, connection mapping. These aren't premium features. They're the basics every founder needs, and they're free.
Community Intelligence
Anonymized, aggregate patterns from the community make the platform smarter for everyone. More founders using it means better insights for all.
Sustainable by Design
Pro tier covers real infrastructure costs (LLM tokens, compute). Not padding for margins. The economics are transparent.
Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Free tier really free forever?
Yes. Pipeline management, team collaboration, data rooms, and connection mapping will always be free. We believe these are table-stakes tools every founder should have access to.
What counts as a "basic AI query"?
Free tier includes a generous allowance of AI-assisted queries for searching, summarizing, and analyzing your pipeline data. Pro tier removes all limits and adds proactive intelligence features.
How many team members can I add?
There's no limit on team members in any tier. Fundraising requires coordination across founders, advisors, board members, and sometimes legal counsel. Add whoever needs access.
Can I export my data?
Absolutely. Your data is yours. Export your full pipeline, contacts, notes, and activity history at any time. No lock-in, no export fees.
Why not just use our existing tools?
Fundraising touches pipeline tracking, document sharing, network mapping, and investor communication. Most teams cobble this together across four or five tools that don't talk to each other. CastleFort integrates them so your data room knows your pipeline stage, your connections surface the warmest intros, and your AI understands the full picture.
