Raise Buddy by LunarWerx. Last updated 4 November 2026.
Raise Buddy finds funding an organisation can apply for. This page says what it collects, why, who it is shared with, and how you delete it. Raise Buddy has no ads, no analytics and no tracking, and it never sells your information.
What Raise Buddy collects, and why
- Your name and email address, from Sign in with Connections, to run your account. Raise Buddy has no passwords of its own. Your email is also put into a message to a funder only when you choose to send one from your own mail app.
- An account id, the one Connections gives you, so your list, drafts and plan stay yours.
- Your organisation's profile: its description, website, place, kind of organisation and money facts such as its annual budget, revenue or funding so far. These pick the programs you can apply for and fill in application answers.
- What you write and save: your list of programs with your notes, stages and dates; drafts of your application answers (kept 5 days); the advisors' written reviews you ask for (kept 90 days).
- Your plan: which paid plan you have, its payment customer id from Connections Pay, or for a plan bought on an iPhone or iPad, the App Store transaction id that proves it. Raise Buddy never sees a card number.
- Usage counts: how many forms were read and answers drafted for you, to apply your plan's limits, kept 40 days and then only as daily totals with no names.
Facts about a company are kept in your Connections account, each with where it came from. Papers you upload to fill in a profile are read and not kept.
Who it is shared with
- Outside AI services. Raise Buddy's server sends text to Google Gemini, Groq, Mistral, Cloudflare Workers AI and TypeSafe. To read your profile they get the website or document text you give; to judge how well a program fits they get your organisation's description and the program's details; to draft answers they get your company's facts and the form's questions; for a written review they get your profile and your best matches. They read it only to answer you. On an iPhone or iPad the app asks your OK once before anything first goes to them. The database, not the AI, picks your matches and says whether you can apply.
- Connections (sign-in, your company facts and its data platform, where facts you state or import are copied as your own within about an hour) and Connections Pay, which uses Stripe, for plans bought on the web.
- Apple, for plans bought with In-App Purchase on an iPhone or iPad. Apple holds your payment details; Raise Buddy gets only the transaction that says which plan you hold.
- Funders, only when you send them something yourself: by email Raise Buddy opens your own mail app with the message ready, and a Pro form post happens only after your last tap.
On your device
The app keeps your signed-in session in the phone's secure storage (in a browser, in the browser's own storage), with your language and appearance choices and a guest's profile.
How to delete your data
- Forget one fact in What Raise Buddy knows, or delete an entry from your list.
- Delete my Raise Buddy data in your account removes everything that identifies you: your profile and company copies, drafts, reviews, notes and payment ids. Only anonymous records stay (which programs were saved or applied to, how much the assistant was used and which plan was held), with nothing that links them to you.
- Delete account in your account deletes your Connections account, which also erases the facts about your own companies.
- Cancel an App Store plan in your iPhone's Settings, under your name, then Subscriptions.
