Hiveround — MCP server for live venture-capital raises

Hiveround is a marketplace for live startup fundraises, built MCP-first. Founders publish a markdown pitch (pitch.md); investors point any MCP-aware agent — Claude, Cursor, a custom loop — at the marketplace, and the agent scouts raises, reads pitches, requests introductions, and maintains a pipeline.

This repository hosts the public metadata for the hosted server. There is nothing to install or run from here — the server is remote.
