Takes about a minute. No card.
Sign up with an email address and a password. There is no payment step, now or later, because listing is free. You will verify your email before you can publish, which is the only gate in the whole flow and exists so investor leads reach a real inbox.
Is Top Floor free?Investor
Browse freely
No account, no paywall, no gate.
Every listing on Top Floor is readable without registering. There is no signup wall, no trial, and no email capture before you can see a deal. The only time we ask for anything is when you choose to contact a founder.

Build your startup profile
Pitch, funding, traction, team.
The wizard is sectioned and saves as you go, so you can stop and come back. Add your description, logo, pitch deck, funding target, traction and team. You do not need it finished to publish. Completeness is nudged afterwards from your dashboard, never enforced up front.
How do I publish my startup?Investor
Filter to your thesis
Industry, stage, geography, cheque size.
Narrow by any combination of the fourteen sectors, seven funding stages, country and funding range, then sort by newest or by amount sought. Every filter is reflected in the URL, so a view you have tuned is a link you can send to a partner.

Publish instantly
Live the moment you save. No approval queue.
Your listing appears on the public browse page the second you publish it. There is no review queue and no waiting period. Admins moderate after publication and can hide a listing that breaks the guidelines, but nothing sits in a pending state first.
Is there a review process?Investor
Read the full pitch
Metrics, team, funding ask and the deck.
Each listing carries the founder's full pitch, their traction figures, the team behind it, the funding ask and the pitch deck itself. You also get the founder's public profile and track record, so you are assessing a person as well as a company.

Receive investor leads
Straight to your dashboard, with contact details.
When an investor expresses interest, their name, email and message land in your dashboard immediately and you are notified in-app. Your own email address is never shown on the listing. The lead form is the only route to you, and you decide whether to reply.
How are leads delivered?Investor
Express interest
One short form. It reaches the founder immediately.
Fill in your name, email and a short message, and it lands in the founder's dashboard straight away. Nothing is brokered and no introduction fee applies. The founder sees your details and replies to you directly if the fit is there.
