Frequently asked questions
What is Startup Fountain?
- Startup Fountain is a matching platform for early-stage European startups raising capital. Founders apply once and are matched with investors who have stated they back their sector, stage and country; investors join to see startups that fit the criteria they set. Introductions are made through the platform rather than by cold outreach.
How many investors back Music startups on Startup Fountain?
- 20 investors have named this as something they invest in and accept introductions for it. The figure counts investors who joined the platform and set their own criteria — it does not include the wider group who only receive deal-flow updates.
What cheque sizes do investors in Music startups write?
- Typically €50k – €100k to €500k – €1M, taken as the median minimum and median maximum across the 20 investors counted here. Individual funds vary.
Are there angel investors backing Music startups?
- Yes — under 1% of the 20 investors here are angels rather than funds. They are counted in every figure on this page but are never named, since naming a fund and naming a private individual are different acts.
Why doesn't this number match the investor count on the Startup Fountain homepage?
- This page counts investors who back this specific sector and country and accept introductions through the platform for it. Separately, around 700 investors receive Startup Fountain's deal-flow updates and may reach out to a startup directly; they aren't tied to any one sector or country, so they don't appear in the figures on these pages. The two numbers measure different things and aren't meant to match.
Are these real investors, or a scraped list?
- Real, and reachable. Every investor counted here signed up to Startup Fountain and set out what they invest in themselves — scraped records are excluded from these figures entirely. A startup that passes review can request a warm introduction rather than cold-emailing them.
Are angel investors included?
- Yes, in the figures. Angels are counted alongside funds, because they are the group founders find hardest to locate anywhere else. They are never named, though: naming a fund and naming a private individual are different acts, and only some of the funds on the platform appear by name.
Can investors choose whether they're named publicly?
- Yes. Investors control their own visibility when they join Startup Fountain, and only some choose to appear by name on these pages. The rest are still counted in the figures and reachable through the platform — they're just not named.
How do I reach these investors?
- Apply as a startup. Companies that pass review are matched against the criteria each investor set, and introductions are requested through the platform — including the investors who are counted here but not named.
How current are these figures?
- They are rebuilt from the live platform data, and the date they were last refreshed is shown at the foot of this page. The counts move as startups join, finish raising, or are reviewed.
What's included in Music?
- Production and distribution technology, rights management tools, and platforms for artist-fan engagement.
Why is the Music investor pool smaller?
- The category tends to attract investors with direct music industry relationships or background, rather than generalist consumer investors.
How do I connect with Music investors on Startup Fountain?
- Apply as a startup for free, no broker fees, and get matched with vetted investors active in music.
