The investor
database of who is
really writing cheques
Most funds describe themselves in the broadest terms, because that brings in more pitches. So we looked at what they did instead: 492,188 funding rounds and filed raises, and who wrote each cheque, at what stage, in what and when. Search by any of it, and find out who is investing this month.

A typical investor list
- What the fund says it invests in
- Every sector, every stage, every country
- Funds that stopped investing years ago, still listed
- No idea how big a cheque they write
- A generic inbox and a form
- A logo and a paragraph about them
- Bought once, never updated

FAQ
How do I find investors for my round?
Filter by the stage, sector and country of your raise. You see who actually wrote cheques like yours, with the rounds behind each one, not who says they might.
What does "deploying now" mean?
We saw them write a cheque in the last twelve months. It comes from rounds they joined, not from what their website says.
Is it only venture capital?
No. It covers VCs, private equity, family offices, corporate venture arms, accelerators and funds of funds, and the individuals who invest, angels included.
How do you know who led a round?
From the round itself: when the announcement or filing names a lead investor, the record marks it, with the source.
Is it free?
Searching, filtering and saving lists is free with an account, which is just your email. Full records and exports come with a paid plan.
Something about an investor is wrong. Can it be fixed?
Yes. Anyone can send a correction, and investors can claim their record to add what only they know. Nobody can change the cheques we observed. Corrections and removals.
