# Where to Buy an Investor List (2026): Prices, What You Get, What to Check

By Muhammad Tayyab Shabbir. Last updated 10 Nov 2026. Data as of November 2026.

You can buy an investor list as a **one-time file** or as a **subscription**. One-time files checked on 10 Nov 2026: PitchBuilder sells 661 UK investors for £69, and The Investor Database sells 3,019 US investors for $197 or a single list for $49. Subscriptions start at $299 per year (OpenVC Premium). InvestorLists.vc is listed at $997 a year, shown discounted to $497 a year when checked on 10 Nov 2026.

## Key takeaways

- A one-time file suits a single raise. A subscription suits a team that prospects all year.
- Look at free rows first. A seller that shows real rows lets you judge the data before you pay.
- Ask for the fill rate: how many rows carry a named person and an email. A row count alone says little.
- Check the date on each row, not only the date on the file.
- Read the refund terms before you pay. Several sellers state that all sales are final.

## Is it worth buying an investor list?

It is worth it when it replaces days of research with a file you can trust, and not otherwise. A list tells you who exists, what they say they back and how to reach the firm. It does not make a poor fit a good one. The founders who get value from a list filter it hard, by stage, sector and place, and write to a short set of firms one at a time.

A list is poor value if you plan to send one message to every row. It is also poor value if you only need a handful of names: the [matching tool](https://theinvestordatabase.com/investor-matching-tool/) shows 25 matches free.
