# Find funds that take applications, and apply on their own portal

> Delsivo's public venture fund directory is at delsivo.com/funds. Funds appear only when they turn listing on and Delsivo staff approve it. Each card shows the fund's one-line thesis, stages, sectors, geographies, cheque range and whether applications are open. Apply goes to the fund's own portal. Listings are written by the funds and checked for identity, not endorsed or ranked.

## Key takeaways

- The directory is live at [delsivo.com/funds](https://delsivo.com/funds).
- Listing is off by default; a fund opts in and staff review it.
- Changing the thesis line, name, logo or website sends a listing back to review.
- No rankings, ratings or response-time scores.
- Apply always goes to the fund's own portal.

## What the venture fund directory shows

- The fund's logo, name and one-line thesis.
- Stages, sectors and geographies, from one fixed list so filters are consistent.
- Cheque range and currency, and the fund type.
- Applications open or Not taking applications.
- A Verified domain badge when the fund's own domain passed a DNS check.

Founders can search and filter by stage, sector, geography, cheque size, fund type and whether applications are open.

## How a fund gets listed

1. The fund publishes its portal and turns on listing in its settings.
2. The listing goes to Delsivo staff for review.
3. Staff check that the fund is real, the description is accurate and nothing impersonates another firm.
4. Approved listings appear. A rejected listing gets a reason the fund admin can read.
5. Any later change to the name, thesis line, logo, website or profile copy sends the listing back to review.

## What the directory never does

It gives no investment advice and makes no claims about any fund's performance. There are no top funds lists, ratings or response-rate scores. No founder data appears on public pages, and portfolio companies appear only if a fund adds them to its own profile. Every profile has a Report this fund link, and staff can take a listing down at once.

## Accepting applications from the directory

Accepting applications from the directory is a second switch for the fund. When it is off, the profile says Not taking applications and has no Apply button. When it is on, Apply opens the fund's primary portal address, so the founder applies on the fund's own brand, as with any [white-label portal](https://delsivo.com/white-label-portals).
