About neonVest
neonVest is an AI-powered fundraising and investor intelligence platform. We help founders raise capital through a curated network of 720+ active investors — our Superchargers, who take 1:1 meetings with companies we introduce — and a matching layer that puts a company in front of the investors who will actually care about it rather than blasting everyone and hoping.

We're headquartered in Recent York, most of our clients are US-based, and the team is small enough that everyone owns something real.

The shape of it
This starts as a defined three-month build — the investor matching service, end to end — and is intended to continue. We're being explicit about that rather than vague: we know what we want built first, we'd rather agree on it clearly than hand you an open-ended remit, and if it goes well the platform work after it is a year of runway at least.

What continuation depends on is stated below, so you can judge it for yourself rather than hoping.

The role
We're rebuilding the core of our product — investor matching — as an AI-native service,



and you'd be the person building it.

Today, matching is a filtered database query. We want a system that reads a company, understands what an investor actually looks for, ranks the fit, and explains its reasoning. That's the first thing you'd build, and it's the piece that matters most commercially.

The architecture will be specified before you start. Data model, service boundaries, how retrieval and reasoning fit together, how we evaluate it. You'd be building against a design rather than inventing one — and you'd be expected to push back on it where it's wrong.

What you'd build, in order
The investor data layer. Our investor data currently sits in two places: structured attributes in Airtable — sector, stage, cheque size, geography — and free-text descriptions plus years of match history in a MySQL database. First job is merging them into one clean, keyed dataset. Unglamorous, and everything else depend
