Founders ask AI which funds lead their round.
Is your fund on the list?
Founders now build raise lists with ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity instead of scraping databases. Citably shows venture capital firms which funds those engines name by sector and stage, then deploys the fix from the same dashboard.

The AEO problem facing venture capital firms
Founders build raise lists from AI answers now
A founder asking ChatGPT which funds lead seed rounds in their sector gets eight or ten names, and that list becomes the outreach plan for the quarter. Venture capital firms left off it never see the deal, and Citably shows which funds those answers named instead.
Thesis pages and logo walls are unreadable to AI
Most venture capital firms publish a thesis in prose and a portfolio as a wall of logos, and an AI engine can parse neither into sector, stage, or cheque size. The funds AI names are the ones publishing that detail as structured data. Citably shows venture capital firms exactly what is missing.
The venture citation gap compounds every cycle
Each month a fund stays uncited, competing funds accumulate the citations AI reuses for the next founder question, and dealflow follows the list. Citably tracks that movement for venture capital firms week over week.
Similar to AEO for investment firms, AEO for wealth managers and AEO for private equity, the same free scan shows exactly where AI engines skip venture funds.
Venture funds winning AI answers with Citably
“Founders told us they built their raise list in ChatGPT and we were not on it, despite leading rounds in that sector. Citably showed us why, and we were named for six of ten stage prompts within a month.”
“We replaced our logo wall with the structured portfolio map Citably deploys. AI engines can finally tell what we invest in, and inbound from founders reflects it.”
“Citably showed us that founder community threads were driving more AI answers about active investors than any ranking. That changed where we spend our platform time.”

Thesis and Stage Fit Checker
Founders answer a few questions and see whether their round matches your stage, sector, and cheque size before they pitch. AI engines cite structured fit criteria when founders ask which funds back their category.
Portfolio Sector Map
Your portfolio published as structured data by sector, stage, and year instead of a wall of logos. Structured for AI engines to quote when founders ask who is most active in a category.
First Cheque Criteria Explainer
A page setting out cheque size, ownership targets, board policy, and how your process runs. Schema marked so AI engines cite your fund when founders ask who leads rounds at their stage.
Frequently asked questions
Citably tracks AI visibility for venture capital firms across ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and Claude. Citably runs the real raise list prompts founders ask by sector and stage, records which venture funds each engine names, and reports the source behind every answer.
AI engines name the venture capital firms whose sector, stage, and cheque size are published as structured data, not the ones with the strongest track record. A thesis written in prose and a portfolio shown as logos give an engine nothing to parse, and Citably shows venture funds which sources filled the gap instead.
Yes. Citably breaks venture capital results down by the sector and stage prompts founders actually ask, so a fund can see it is named for seed in one category but absent at Series A in another. Citably tracks won, lost, held, and new citations for your fund week over week.
Venture capital firms using Citably typically see their first new AI citations within 2 to 4 weeks of deploying assets, as AI engines re-crawl the portfolio pages, rankings, and founder threads they pull venture answers from. Citably reports every new citation with the source behind it.
