Coverage is the easy part to market and the hardest part to verify. These databases are compared on freshness, cost, and what happens after you find a name.
Free investor scan, no card required · Investor Guarantee™
Every investor database claims scale. What separates them in practice is freshness, how easy it is to filter to relevance, and whether the product helps you do anything with the result.
A database is a starting point, not a strategy. The platforms below are ordered by how much work they remove between finding an investor and reaching them.
The criteria we use
Coverage
How many investors, and whether angels, funds and family offices are all included.
Freshness
Whether recent investment activity is visible, so you can avoid investors who have gone quiet.
Relevance
Whether the product judges fit for your round or leaves it to filters.
Cost
Whether there is free access, and what a full raise costs.
Actionability
Whether outreach, pipeline and documents are connected to the data.
5 platforms compared
Ordered by how well each platform serves the criteria above for a founder raising now. Where a vendor does not publish a capability, the entry says so.
Frequently asked questions
For a free, broad database, OpenVC. For a database bundled with a CRM, Foundersuite. For matching with explanations and outreach, LeadAgentX.
