Meridian raises $7M seed round led by 645 Ventures

I’m excited to announce our $7 million seed round, led by 645 Ventures with continued support from Chaac Ventures and a group of high-impact angel investors.

Until now, Meridian was funded by me, a close group of friends and family, and the best kind of capital: customer revenue.

This capital gives us the firepower to move faster and accelerate the impact we’re having on how private equity firms source and win deals.

Over the last year, many of the largest and most respected private equity firms in the world have migrated off legacy systems to Meridian. Our platform has become indispensable for deal teams who use it to source thematically and generate proprietary deal flow.

Before Meridian, I spent years as an investor evaluating companies. Flipping sides was fascinating. You realize how commoditized capital has become, and how essential it is to find a partner who gives you lift, not just runway.

We were fortunate to receive multiple term sheets at the same valuation from firms we deeply respected. We chose 645 as our lead because we love how they operate. During the fundraise, they quickly proved their value with customer introductions, talent referrals, and an incredible founder-first energy.

I’m excited to turn my attention back to building and to relentlessly focus on helping our customers source better deals.

To our team: thank you for building a game-changing product.

To our customers: thank you for betting on us early.

And to our new partners: let’s go!!!
