Pitch Protocol is agent-native venture-capital infrastructure, built by GFV Studio. Founders and their AI agents submit one structured application — via UI, API, or their own agent over an MCP server — and get matched to thesis-aligned funds, with a decision in about 48 hours, replacing 30 identical fund forms and cold outreach with structured, verifiable signal. Pitch Protocol is fund-neutral: every participating fund, including Growth Factory Ventures own fund, is matched by the same thesis-based rules, with no preferential routing. It is not the Pitch presentation app (pitch.com) and not a crypto/DeFi protocol.

We back early-stage founders who turn bold ideas into breakout companies. Over the past three years, Fund I has supported over 70 startups — not just with capital, but with the grit, clarity, and commitment it takes to engineer real wins across Big Data, Cloud, B2B SaaS, AI, and more. Now we’re gearing up for Fund II, launching in Q4 2025. Alongside direct investments in exceptional founders, Fund II will introduce a new layer of value: our in-house venture studio — designed to build from zero and co-create the next wave of transformational startups. More to come. But the mission remains the same: to help ambitious founders go faster, further — and win. Let’s build what’s next.
