AngelBacked

Hi HN, Over the years I kept running into the same problem founders talk about constantly: finding the right investors is surprisingly difficult. Most tools are either extremely expensive (think $5k–$10k+/yr), focused on later-stage VCs, or filled with outdated contact info. Meanwhile early-stage founders still spend weeks digging through Twitter, LinkedIn, Crunchbase, spreadsheets, and random blog posts just trying to build a seed list. So I built AngelBacked. AngelBacked is a searchable database of 90,000+ angels and venture capital investors designed to make early-stage fundraising…

    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. The problem I kept running into: Crunchbase has data but no contacts. Apollo has contacts but isn't curated for VC-backed companies. PitchBook and CB Insights are $5–25K/year and overkill for most use cases. We manually verify every contact and add 500+ new leads monthly.

    Hey HN! I wanted to share something I built over the last few weeks: isometric.nyc is a massive isometric pixel art map of NYC, built with nano banana and coding agents. I didn't write a single line of code. Of course no-code doesn't mean no-engineering. This project took a lot more manual labor than I'd hoped! I wrote a deep dive on the workflow and some thoughts about the future of AI coding and creativity: http://cannoneyed.com/projects/isometric-nyc
