How the matching works
- Your sentence is read in your browser. A fixed table of 466 words and phrases maps what you type to 40 sectors, and shorter tables map words to five stages and to places. "Dental" and "clinic" mean healthtech, "payments" means fintech, "seed round" means seed. Nothing you type is sent to us, and you can correct every chip and dropdown.
- A firm is a match when three things hold. It carries at least one of your sectors, it lists your stage (or says it invests at any stage), and it is based in the place you picked. A firm with no stage on file matches only when the stage is set to "Any stage".
- If fewer than 25 firms match, the search widens one step at a time and says so. First the same place at any stage, then the whole country, then everywhere. Firms that list your stage and firms in the place you picked stay at the top.
- The matches are ranked by points. The table below is the whole rule. The sizes make the order strict: stage first, then how many of your sectors a firm carries, then place, then activity. Ties keep the order of our data file: active firms first, then the most complete records.
- Raise amount is a tie-breaker only. If you give one, firms whose fund size on file is in a plausible range for that round move up slightly. The range is a rule of thumb of ours, not a fact about any firm, and firms with no fund size on file are not marked down.
- What the ranking is not. It measures fit on paper and recent activity. It does not measure quality, returns or how likely a firm is to invest. No firm pays to appear.
| Signal | Points |
|---|---|
| Each of your sectors the firm carries | 100 |
| Lists your stage (counts only after the search was widened past it) | 1000 |
| Is based in the place you picked (counts only after the search was widened past it) | 50 |
| Lists a neighboring stage only, for example pre-seed when you picked seed | 300 |
| Lists other stages only | -500 |
| Activity status in our records | 12 active, 8 likely active, 3 not confirmed, 0 slowing |
| Latest dated activity: a fund filing, a new deal or portfolio news | 10 within 3 months, 8 within 6 months, 6 within 12 months, 3 within 24 months |
| Specialist: fewer sector tags on the firm | up to 10 |
| Fund size on file fits the raise amount you gave (our rule of thumb) | 6, or -4 when the fund is clearly too small |
The pool, checked in November 2026: 4,178 investors, 3,019 of them in the US. 2,865 carry at least one sector tag, 2,510 list a stage and 1,799 have dated activity in the last 12 months. Stage and sector tags are our research from each firm's own site and portfolio. On file across all of them: 14,148 named decision-makers and 1,290 firm emails. Those are in the paid files only, never in this page or its data file.
Questions
How does the investor matching tool work?
You describe your startup in one sentence. The tool reads the sector, stage and place from your words, checks them against 4,178 investor records and ranks the matches. You see the top 25 with a reason for each. If fewer than 25 firms match exactly, it widens the search one step at a time and tells you what it did. The full rule is under How the matching works.
Is the investor matching tool free?
Yes. The top 25 matches are free, with no signup and no email. The paid option is your shortlist as a one-time $49 file, with the named decision-makers and firm emails we hold for those firms. There is no subscription.
Do I need to sign up or upload a pitch deck?
No. There is no account and no deck upload. The sentence you type is read in your browser and is not sent to us. Your inputs are kept in the page address after the # sign, so you can bookmark or share a search. Browsers do not send that part of the address to a server.
Where does the investor data come from?
From public filings (SEC Form D and Form ADV in the US, Companies House and the FCA register in the UK), official registers and each firm's own website. Fund filing dates for US firms come from SEC Form D. Stage and sector tags are our own research. Every record was last checked in November 2026, and each row shows its date. See how we verify.
How many investors should I contact?
We hold no data on how many approaches a round takes, so we will not quote a figure. A practical way to work: start with the 25 firms here, drop any that fail a manual check of their own site (stage, sector, recent deals), and contact the rest in small batches so you can adjust the pitch between batches. If the list runs out, widen one input, such as a second sector or the whole country, before you lower the bar on fit.
Can I download my matches?
Yes, in two ways. "Save this shortlist" gives you the rows on screen (up to 25) as a spreadsheet without contacts: your request is saved and the file downloads in your browser. The paid file holds every match up to 300, and a shortlist for one region holds at most half of the records we hold there. It has named decision-makers and firm emails where we hold them, as a CSV that opens in Excel and Google Sheets, for a one-time $49.
