Understanding match scores

Every matched investor gets a match strength (High, Medium, or Low) and, in most places, a score out of 100 with a short reason.

How HeyInvest finds matches

1. Sector overlap. HeyInvest looks for investors whose focus includes the sectors on your raise. Investors who share more of your sectors, and who have done more deals, come first.
2. AI ranking. An AI model reviews the top 50 and re-ranks them using all of your raise details. It gives each investor a score from 0 to 100 and a one-sentence reason.

What the labels mean

Label	AI score	In plain terms
High	70–100	A strong fit for your raise.
Medium	40–69	A reasonable fit with some gaps.
Low	Below 40	A weak fit. Probably not a priority.

If the AI ranking is unavailable for a moment, HeyInvest still shows your matches. In that case the label is based only on how many of your sectors the investor shares, and there's no score or reason.

"Why this match"

The reason explains the fit in one sentence, based on the investor's public profile and your raise details. Occasionally a reason is hidden. This happens when it would read like investment advice, so HeyInvest withholds it rather than show it.

Important

Scores and reasons are AI-generated from public profile data. They are informational only, not investment advice. They describe how well an investor's stated preferences fit your raise. They are not a prediction that the investor will invest. Final diligence and decisions are yours.

Fit on the Investors page

The Fit column on the Investors page uses the same scoring. It compares each investor on the current page against the raise selected in the fit vs. selector. Scores can take several seconds to appear after the page loads. Hover over a score to see the reason.
