Before you start.

The details behind the shortlist.

What do I need to get started?

Your startup’s website. You’ll review the extracted profile and fill in missing details before scanning. Matching considers your product, market, related companies, and fundraising context.

Are all 23,805 records fully researched?

No. The directory is broader than the researched set. Evidence and contact details vary, and some records remain thin or unclassified. Check the source details and unknowns before you reach out.

Read about data coverage

What makes an investor a strong match?

We look for a connection between your startup and the investor’s stated thesis, sector focus, and investment history—including similar or adjacent companies where the evidence is available. Stage and geography help check suitability; they are only part of the picture.

Does a high score mean they’ll invest?

No. A score describes fit with your startup, based on the available evidence. It is not a funding probability or a promise of interest.

Do you send pitches or arrange introductions?

You choose who to approach and send your own pitch. LinkedIn links open partner profiles; they don’t access your network or arrange introductions.

Are grants and programmes included?

Yes. There are 96 programme records, with funding terms, deadlines, and application links where known. Check the official programme page for current eligibility and dates.

Can I pay for access now?

Not yet. The planned price is $79 once. The product is in preview and paid checkout is still being built.
