Company profile

researched Sep 2026

Paperstreet offers software for writing and distributing startup investor updates. Its core product is an update composer with a rich-text editor and templated, queryable sections such as financials and strategy, alongside the ability to create custom sections and to duplicate and edit previous updates. Companies manage recipients through a built-in contact system that supports contact groups, CSV import, unlimited contacts and teammates, unsubscriber visibility, reminders, email tracking metrics, and a shareable hosted link for each update.

The platform also includes a networking layer: startups can create a discoverable public company profile, control profile privacy, and allow investors and mentors to request access to their updates. A second product line targets portfolio managers and investors, intended to let them onboard the companies they invest in, consolidate reporting data in one place, and monitor a portfolio or pipeline; access is handled through an investor access request and a demo waitlist. According to a Techstars job board listing, the company develops platforms that connect networks of advisors and investors with startups, including tracking post-program investors, deal flow, and contract signing and document storage.

Business model

Software-as-a-service sold by subscription, with a free tier, a self-serve paid tier for companies, and a separately priced product for portfolio managers.

A Free Forever plan includes a discoverable profile, the update template and composer, contact management, unlimited contacts and teammates, basic analytics and hosted update links, but caps monthly update recipients. A Premium plan at $49.00 per month for companies adds premium analytics, scheduled sending and unlimited update recipients; subscriptions are monthly and cancellable at any time, and payment is accepted by major debit and credit cards. The portfolio manager product is priced on request.
