I spent 12 years in threat intelligence. The whole job is reading what someone does, not what they say. What a group claims and what its infrastructure actually shows are two different things.
Fund bios are the same. The website says a fund does everything. Its deal history says what it actually funds.
So I pointed that method at VCs and built Helios. It reads what funds actually do, from the deals they announce, by sector. Pick your space (cyber, fintech, AI infra, healthtech, climate, and more) and you see:
- who just invested and in what, their revealed thesis, not their bio
- funds that just raised and have dry powder to deploy, pulled from SEC Form D
filings
- M&A and IPO exits, read as demand for your sector
- a per-sector alert you can subscribe to, so you get pinged when a fund in
your space moves
It refreshes hourly. No login, free to read. Every source is free and
ToS-clean: RSS, news APIs, firm blogs, gov filings. Investor names come out of
the article bodies and get dropped if they aren't literally in the text, so
it doesn't guess a name onto a deal.
What it's not: a signal to start a conversation, not a CRM, and not a promise
anyone writes you a check.
Two things I want from you: which sector should we sharpen next, and what
signal would actually change who you reach out to? Break it and tell me what's
missing.

The hourly VC signal feed is genuinely useful, caught two funding moves in climate tech I would've missed otherwise. Wish the source links were more visible at a glance though.

How do you actually source the funding data in real time, is it scraping press releases and SEC filings or do you have direct API access to the VCs themselves?
