A VC database can help founders find investors and organize outreach in one place. Submit your startup on Round Funded to get matched with investors, and assess whether its search and fundraising workspace fit your process.
What should founders look for in a VC database?
A long list of investor names is only useful when you can narrow it to contacts relevant to your company and fundraising plans. When comparing a VC database, we recommend looking at both the quality of investor records and the work you can do after finding a potential match.
Consider these questions:
- Can you filter by fundraising criteria? Stage, industry, geography and check size can help focus a search.
- Is investor activity recent? Recent investment activity can help you assess whether a record is relevant to your search.
- Are email addresses verified? Contact details matter when you are preparing outreach.
- Does the product support follow-up work? Investor discovery is only one part of fundraising. Email drafting, a pipeline and reply tracking can help keep the process organized.
Round Funded covers 60,000+ active VCs, angels, family offices and accelerators. Its database is searchable by stage, industry, geography and check size. Investors are filtered to recent activity, defined as a check in roughly the last 6 months, and their emails are verified.
These details offer a starting point for building a list. Founders still need to judge whether each investor fits their company and decide which conversations to pursue. Submit your startup to get matched with investors.
Why did we at AI Perks choose Round Funded?
We at AI Perks raised our round through Round Funded. We chose it for a combination of features that supported our fundraising workflow: a clean investor database, an AI agent that writes emails, a convenient interface, the ability to invite teammates into the workspace, a Data Room and tracking links.
The pieces work across different parts of fundraising. Investor search helps with discovery, while AI-drafted messages support outreach. The workspace gives teammates a place to work together, and the Data Room and tracking links relate to sharing and monitoring fundraising materials.
For us, that combination mattered more than treating the database as a standalone directory. A platform can bring several tasks together, but founders still make the decisions about whom to contact and what to share. You can submit your startup on Round Funded if you want to explore its investor matching process.
How does Round Funded support investor outreach?
Round Funded helps founders find investors, send pitches and track replies. Its AI drafts a personalized outreach email and follow-ups for each investor. Outreach goes out from the founder’s own Gmail, so replies arrive in that inbox and the email thread belongs to the founder.
That setup can be useful to understand when evaluating an outreach workflow. Consider how messages are drafted, where they are sent from and where replies will appear. The product’s fundraising pipeline also brings investors, stages and next steps together in one place.
Teammates can be invited into the startup’s workspace. That gives a team a shared place to manage its pipeline and related fundraising activity. The interface was one of the reasons we at AI Perks chose Round Funded, along with the investor database and email-writing agent.
What can founders share through the Data Room?
Round Funded’s Data Room lets founders put a deck, traction, team and ask on one link. It is free to build and share on every plan. This can give founders a single place to share core fundraising materials.
Per-investor tracked links and engagement analytics, including views, deck opens and meeting clicks, come with Round+. The tracking links were among the features we at AI Perks valued when choosing Round Funded. Founders considering the product can distinguish between the Data Room, which is available on every plan, and those Round+ tracking features.
