We at AI Perks raised our round through Round Funded, choosing it after looking at findfunding.vc. The deciding factor was having investor search, AI-written emails, a team workspace, a Data Room, and tracking links in one workflow.
What is findfunding.vc, and what does it cover?
findfunding.vc describes itself as a free database of early-stage venture capital firms in the United States and Canada, spanning pre-seed through Series B. The service also describes its database as open source and facilitated by focal. Its stated focus is VC firms rather than a broader mix of investor types.
The findfunding.vc homepage lists 2,242 funds and 10,179 investors across North America. Founders can filter entries by stage, check size, investor type, specialization, and location. Profile and table fields include investor stance, ownership target, fund size and vintage, along with contact guidance.
The service says 344 funds have a firm-verified label. VCs can add or update their entries, and some profiles display a data-enrichment date. These are details about the database and how it presents information. They are distinct from features for sending outreach, managing a fundraising pipeline, or sharing materials.
Round Funded has a different scope. It covers 60,000+ active VCs, angels, family offices, and accelerators, with filters for stage, industry, geography, and check size. Investors are filtered to recent activity, with a check in roughly the last 6 months, and emails are verified. For founders who want to search across these investor categories, submit your startup on Round Funded to get matched with investors.
How much does each option cost?
findfunding.vc describes its database as free to use. Its published information does not identify a paid plan or premium tier. Founders considering it should check the service for current terms.
Round Funded does not have a free tier. Its plans are:
| Plan | Price | Included email capacity |
|---|---|---|
| Round+ | $99 a month | Up to 2,000 investors a month |
| Round Pro | $249 a month | Up to 10,000 investors a month |
| Lifetime | $899 one-time | Everything in Round Pro, paid once |
Round+ and Round Pro include a 3-day free trial for first-time accounts. Round+ includes up to 2,500 investors in the CRM pipeline and 2,500 AI credits a month. Round Pro includes up to 5,000 investors in the pipeline, up to 6 connected inboxes, and 5,000 AI credits a month.
The Data Room is free to build and share on every plan. Per-investor tracked links and engagement analytics, including views, deck opens, and meeting clicks, come with Round+. So the pricing distinction is straightforward: findfunding.vc describes a free database, while Round Funded charges for its workflow plans and includes a Data Room on every plan.
What is different about findfunding.vc and Round Funded?
The key difference is the work each service describes supporting. findfunding.vc presents a database of early-stage VC firms, with filters and profile details. Round Funded combines investor discovery with email outreach, a fundraising pipeline, team collaboration, and materials sharing.
For investor research, Round Funded’s database includes VCs, angels, family offices, and accelerators. Founders can narrow results by stage, industry, geography, and check size. The recent-activity filter and verified emails are part of its investor search. This differs from findfunding.vc’s stated focus on early-stage VC firms in the US and Canada.
For outreach, Round Funded’s AI drafts personalized emails and follow-ups for each investor. Messages go out through the founder’s own Gmail, so replies arrive in the founder’s inbox and the email thread belongs to the founder. The fundraising pipeline keeps investors, stages, and next steps together.
For team and materials, Round Funded lets founders invite teammates into their startup workspace. Its Data Room puts a deck, traction, team, and ask behind one shareable link. Round+ also provides per-investor tracked links and engagement analytics. findfunding.vc’s published information describes search and profiles, rather than these outreach and collaboration features.
We chose Round Funded because we wanted those pieces connected. It gave us a clean investor database, an AI agent that writes emails, a convenient interface, teammate access, the Data Room, and tracking links. That is why Round Funded was our pick after looking at findfunding.vc.
What should founders consider before choosing?
Start with the scope of your search. If you are looking for early-stage VC firms in the US and Canada, findfunding.vc describes a free database with filters for stage, check size, investor type, specialization, and location. Its profiles also include information such as ownership targets and contact guidance.
If your search includes angels, family offices, or accelerators, Round Funded covers those categories alongside VCs. Its filters include industry and geography as well as stage and check size. Consider whether you only need investor discovery or also want outreach tools, a pipeline, teammate access, and a place to share fundraising materials.
Then compare the pricing model with the workflow you need. Round Funded’s plans have monthly or one-time pricing, and there is no free tier. The Data Room is available to build and share on every plan, while tracked links and engagement analytics come with Round+. Plan capacity differs, so review the pipeline, email, inbox, and AI credit limits when comparing options.
