Frequently asked questions

How does HTBS verify founders?

HTBS reviews founder submissions, checks the business context, evaluates key metrics, and ensures the opportunity is suitable before it is surfaced privately to investors or buyers.

When do investor details get shared?

Investor details are shared only after HTBS reviews the request and confirms there is a relevant match between the founder and the investor or buyer.

Can buyers also use this process?

Yes. The same private workflow supports both investors and acquisition buyers who want access to confidential SaaS opportunities.

What do investors see first?

Investors first see anonymized opportunity details such as category, market, traction range, revenue range, growth signals, and other non-identifying business information.

How are introductions scheduled?

Once HTBS approves the match, introductions are coordinated through a structured discovery call process, usually using Cal.com for scheduling.
