For founders
Build your listing for free. Pay when you want investors to see it.
Investor database
Search 4,132 investing firms by stage, cheque size, lead or follow, ownership target, sector, founder focus and HQ, then see their partners, LinkedIn and how to reach them. Built from public lists, each credited on our data sources page. See the sources.
Paid listing
Data room
Organise documents in folders and choose who sees each one: every approved investor, or only those you pick. Every upload is checked for viruses, and you see which files each investor opened.
Paid listing
Access requests
Investors ask to see your data room and say why. Approve them for the folders you choose, decline with a reason, or take access back at any time. They get an email either way.
Paid listing
Pitch deck
Upload your deck and replace it whenever it changes. Only investors our team has approved can open it, and you see who did and when.
Paid listing
Startup profile
Build your listing for free: what you do, the problem and your solution, traction, your team and the round you are raising. Our team checks every profile before it goes live.
