Varqos is a private deal marketplace connecting investors, startup founders, and business owners. Our iOS TestFlight beta is launching invite-only in Houston and early access spots are limited.
Not crowdfunding. Not public. Built for serious participants.
Private deals have always moved on the timeline of the process, not the people. Weeks of cold outreach to investors who were never going to be a fit. Meetings that go nowhere because nobody checked compatibility before they got on the call. Documents scattered across email threads and Docsend links.
Varqos was built to change that. It is a mobile-first private marketplace where investors can discover deals that already match their criteria, founders can reach investors who are actively looking for exactly what they are building, and business owners can connect with the right capital partners on their own terms.
Designed so the right conversations start faster and the wrong ones never happen in the first place.
Every investor specifies their stage, check size, sector, and preferred deal structure before a single deal reaches their feed. No guessing. No mismatched outreach.
The privacy layer covers everything, not just documents. Messages, pitch rooms, and shared files all sit behind NDA gating. Nothing sensitive is visible until both parties have agreed to move forward.
Two proprietary scores surface before any conversation starts. The Fit Score shows how well a deal matches an investor's declared criteria. The Risk Score gives both sides a clearer picture of where they stand going in.
Filter by stage, sector, check size, deal structure, traction level, and more. Your feed shows what is actually relevant to you and nothing else.
Every conversation on Varqos happens inside an encrypted private thread. No email chains, no third party apps. All your deal communication stays organized, private, and in one place from first contact to final conversation.
Pitch rooms for scheduled voice and video calls are built directly into the platform. No Zoom links. No external tools. The conversation happens in the same place the match was made.
Meet someone in person and share your full Varqos profile instantly through a QR code or a unique VarqID. Investors see your declared preferences. Founders and business owners see your deal summary. Sensitive documents and financials stay gated until you are ready to share them through the platform.
Built for how serious principals actually work. On the move, between meetings, at their own pace. Everything available on desktop is available on your phone.
Spend less time on deals that were never going to be a fit. On Varqos your declared preferences do the filtering before anything reaches your feed. See stage, check size, sector, and compatibility score before you open a single profile.
Every investor on Varqos has told you exactly what they invest in. Stage, structure, sector, check size. You can see fit before you send the first message, which means every conversation can start from a real foundation instead of a cold pitch.
Built for established businesses, not just startups. Find investors who understand operating companies and bring more than capital. Control what you share and when. Nothing sensitive is visible until you decide it should be.
Sitting through calls where the investor does not invest in your stage, your sector, or your deal size. Fit should be established before anyone gets on a call.
Sending the same pitch to a hundred investors and hearing back from three. Most of them were never going to be a fit anyway.
No way to tell which investors are actively deploying capital and which are just taking meetings. Every investor on Varqos has declared their current investment timeline.
Sending the same financial summary three times across email, Docsend, and Dropbox. On Varqos your documents are ready the moment the NDA is accepted.
One tool to find investors, another to message them, another for video calls, another for documents, another to track it all. Varqos puts it in one place.
Building a new list, writing new outreach, doing the same research for every raise. Varqos keeps your profile working in the background so you are not starting over.
Most people assume private deals take a long time because of legal paperwork and negotiation. That is part of it. But the real time loss happens before any of that. Finding the right people, getting a response, qualifying fit, and getting documents in the right hands. That front end of the process is where weeks disappear. That is exactly what Varqos is built to compress.
Varqos compresses the front end of the deal process, specifically discovery, outreach, first contact, and document access, which research shows typically accounts for 9 to 29 weeks of the traditional timeline across phases 1 through 4. The full process from first outreach to fund transfer averages 3 to 9 months for angel and early-stage private deals. The Varqos timeline estimates shown are conservative targets, not guarantees. Individual results vary based on deal complexity, investor responsiveness, and how prepared both sides are going in. Negotiation, legal documentation, and fund transfer happen between parties directly and are not part of the platform. Varqos does not guarantee any specific outcome or timeline.
You have sat through pitches from founders who did not know your check size. You have missed deals because they never reached you through the right introduction. Your deal flow comes through email, LinkedIn, text messages, and mutual contacts with no organized view of any of it. You have no way to tell which founders are serious and which are just collecting meetings. You want better deal flow without wading through everything that does not fit.
If you are tired of deals that were never going to fit, Varqos was built for you.
You have sent the same pitch to a hundred investors and heard back from twelve. You have taken calls with people who do not invest in your stage, your sector, or your deal size. Your warm network is exhausted and everything after that feels like a cold start. You have shared sensitive financials with someone who was never going to invest because there was no structured way to gate access. You are raising on the investor's timeline when you are the one running out of runway.
If your raise deserves better than cold outreach and wasted meetings, Varqos was built for you.
Every platform you have found was built for startups, not for a business like yours. You want to explore your options without your employees, customers, or competitors finding out. You have been approached by brokers who want a commission and investors who cannot read operating financials. You know serious capital exists in Houston. You just have no structured way to get in front of it without going through the wrong people.
If you are ready to explore your options on your own terms, Varqos was built for you.
The founding group is small. Spots are limited.
TestFlight is Apple's official platform for distributing pre-release iOS apps to invited users before a public App Store launch. Think of it as an invite-only download of a fully functional app that is still in its final stages of testing. It runs on your iPhone like any other app. There is no App Store listing, no public access, and no waiting. You receive a direct invite link, tap to install, and you are in.
Everyone who joins the Varqos TestFlight beta is part of the founding Houston group. That means full access to the platform during the beta period, direct input into how the product develops, and a set of perks and benefits reserved exclusively for founding members, both during TestFlight and after the public launch. Details on founding member benefits will be shared directly with everyone on the early access list.
Our iOS TestFlight beta is launching invite-only in Houston with a small, hand-selected founding group. This is not a public App Store release. If you are an investor, founder, or business owner ready to move faster on private deals, submit your email and we will reach out directly with your TestFlight invite.
