24 alternatives to VCDir.com

Hey everyone I wanted to share something I made: vcdir.com - a global, 100% free directory of 1300+ venture capital firms. Most VC databases I found were either outdated, overly complex, or hidden behind a paywall. So I decided to make one that’s: It’s 100% free to browse, no signup or paywall required. It lists 1,300+ VC firms from around the world (and the number keeps growing). Lets you filter by country, continent, investment phase, and market focus Each firm’s page includes basic informations like short description portfolio links, website, contact info, investment focus.

    VCbacked▲181

    I built this for anyone whose business revolves around funded startups — whether you're a VC tracking new raises, a sales team targeting high-growth companies, a recruiter staffing fast-scaling teams, or an agency looking for clients with fresh capital to spend.
