The database
Investors, judged by what they did
183,751 investor records. 46,828 classified from their own websites rather than from a list someone sold us, and 9,169 observed writing a cheque in the last twelve months. Search is free and takes an email address, because a shortlist has to live somewhere.
What you can filter on, and why it is different
What everyone else has
Stated cheque size, stated stages, stated geographies, all typed into a form by the fund. A fund that wants inbound says it invests everywhere, at every stage, in everything, and nothing checks it.
What is here
The stage they were observed writing into. The sectors they actually funded. Whether they led. What a round they joined typically costs. Whether they have raised a fund recently: 16,647 have, on the SEC's record rather than ours.
