We compiled a database of 45k+ investors to raise a seed round

Hey guys! Investor Scout (https://investorscout.co) is a categorized database of over 45,000 angel investors and venture capitalists. Finding the right investors to pitch your startup to––then finding the best way to reach out to them directly––is a nightmare. The data is spread out all over the internet, down the google rabbit hole, Twitter, LinkedIn, and AngelList. Research can take hundreds of hours on its own, not even counting the time it takes to actually reach out to investors, go through initial screens, get meetings, and finally close a round. Last year we launched…

What it does

In the maker’s words, at launch

Hey guys! Investor Scout (https://investorscout.co) is a categorized database of over 45,000 angel investors and venture capitalists. Finding the right investors to pitch your startup to––then finding the best way to reach out to them directly––is a nightmare. The data is spread out all over the internet, down the google rabbit hole, Twitter, LinkedIn, and AngelList. Research can take hundreds of hours on its own, not even counting the time it takes to actually reach out to investors, go through initial screens, get meetings, and finally close a round. Last year we launched Investor Hunt on Product Hunt and it was obvious to us that we hit on a strong need, so we’ve been working hard on improving everything about the product. Investor Scout is Investor Hunt 2.0 (we’ve re-branded from “Hunt” to “Scout”). Since our 1.0 almost 200 companies like Rip Van Wafels and The Family have used Investor Hunt. For our 2.0 we’ve completely revamped the UI, updated our dataset (we’re also halfway through another massive dataset update that we’ll be launching this year), and built out a more sophisticated system for saving investors & exporting their contact info. Like our 1.0, investors are categorized by what they’re likely to invest in next (based on their interests and what they’ve already invested in). The dataset includes emails (almost 30k), phone numbers, investor tags, past investments, the company they work for, and social media profiles. We’d love feedback––thanks for reading this - Matt & Aaron PS: We just launched on Product Hunt: https://producthunt.com/posts/investor-scout

    Hey guys! Investor Hunt (https://www.investorhunt.co) is a categorized database of 40k+ angel investors and venture capitalists. Figuring out which investors are likely to be interested in your project and how to get in direct contact with them is a nightmare. All this data is spread out, and finding it pushes you down a rabbit hole of AngelList, personal websites, Crunchbase, and VC fund portfolio pages. All this can take hundreds of hours of research––hours you could be using to actually close rounds. For the last few years while we’ve been fundraising for different projects,…
