Submit your startup on Round Funded to get matched with investors and explore a fundraising workspace that combines investor search with outreach and pipeline tools. We at AI Perks looked at Ramp VC, then chose Round Funded, where we raised our round.
What is Ramp VC, and what does it cost?
Ramp VC Database is a free list of venture capitalists and angel investors. Founders can browse, search, and download lists, with options to filter by sector and stage. Its downloadable lists also include industry categories such as B2C and EdTech.
The lists cover thousands of venture capitalists, venture funds, and startup angel investors. They allow filtering by industry, stage, and location. The pages show fields for work email, company name, first name, and last name, though they do not specify which columns appear in a downloaded file.
Ramp does not state an exact investor count, a last-updated date, or how email details are verified.
According to Ramp, its investor lists are free. Ramp does not list a separate price, trial, or paid tier for the lists. Ramp’s finance software has separate pricing: Free is $0 per user per month, and Plus is $15 per user per month plus a platform fee based on team size.
How does Ramp VC compare with Round Funded?
The main difference we considered at AI Perks was the scope of the work each option describes. Ramp presents investor lists that founders can browse, search, or download. Round Funded combines investor discovery with outreach and fundraising organization.
| Area | Ramp VC | Round Funded |
|---|---|---|
| Investor search | Free lists searchable or downloadable, with filters for sector, stage, industry, and location | 60,000+ active VCs, angels, family offices, and accelerators, searchable by stage, industry, geography, and check size |
| Investor information | Ramp lists thousands of investors, but does not state an exact count or verification method | Investors are filtered to recent activity, a check in roughly the last six months, and emails are verified |
| Outreach | Ramp offers lists and outreach advice, not email sending | AI drafts personalized emails and follow-ups; outreach goes through the founder’s own Gmail |
| Fundraising organization | Ramp’s database does not include a pipeline or tracking | A fundraising pipeline keeps investors, stages, and next steps together |
| Cost | Investor lists are free | No free tier; paid plans start at $99 a month |
That comparison reflects what each product offers, not a claim that every founder needs the same workflow. A founder looking only for a free list may focus on Ramp’s offering. We chose Round Funded because we wanted the database alongside AI-written emails, a convenient interface, teammate access, a Data Room, and tracking links. Founders can submit a startup on Round Funded to get matched with investors.
What did we value in Round Funded?
We at AI Perks raised our round through Round Funded. Our choice reflected how we wanted to handle fundraising tasks, rather than the price of an investor list alone.
The investor database was one part of the decision. Round Funded covers 60,000+ active VCs, angels, family offices, and accelerators. Founders can search by stage, industry, geography, and check size. Investors are filtered to recent activity, defined as a check in roughly the last six months, and emails are verified.
We also valued the AI agent that writes outreach emails. Round Funded drafts a personalized email and follow-ups for each investor. Messages go out from the founder’s own Gmail, so replies land in that inbox and the thread belongs to the founder.
The workspace mattered to us, too. We found the interface convenient and valued being able to invite teammates into the workspace. That allowed us to work together in one place, alongside the investor search and fundraising pipeline.
The Data Room and tracking links were also part of our decision. A founder can put a deck, traction, team, and ask on one Data Room link. 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+.
What are Round Funded’s plans and prices?
Round Funded has no free tier. Round+ costs $99 a month, Round Pro costs $249 a month, and Lifetime costs $899 one-time. First-time accounts can try Round+ or Round Pro with a 3-day free trial. You can get matched with active investors by submitting your startup.
The plans differ in usage limits and included capabilities:
- Round+: Up to 2,500 investors in the CRM pipeline, email up to 2,000 investors a month, and 2,500 AI credits a month. Per-investor tracked links and engagement analytics are included.
- Round Pro: Up to 5,000 investors in the pipeline, email up to 10,000 investors a month, up to 6 connected inboxes, and 5,000 AI credits a month.
- Lifetime: $899 one-time for everything in Round Pro.
The pricing distinction helped clarify the comparison for us. Ramp’s investor lists are free, while Round Funded charges for its plans and includes a broader fundraising workflow. The right comparison depends on whether a founder wants a list alone or tools for investor search, outreach, and pipeline management in the same product.
