Investor Scout - A database of 45k+ investors to raise your seed round 💰

🎁 50% off lifetime discount code for PH: `EARLYADOPTERS` (expires this week) 🎁 –––––– Hey guys! 👋 Investor Scout is a categorized database of over 45,000 angel investors and venture capitalists. Finding the right investors to pitch your startup to––then finding the best way to reach out to them directly––is a nightmare. The data is spread out all over the internet, down the google rabbit hole, Twitter, LinkedIn, and AngelList. Research can take hundreds of hours on its own, not even counting the time it takes to actually reach out to investors, go through initial screens, get meetings, and finally close a round. Last year we launched Investor Hunt here on Product Hunt (https://www.producthunt.com/post...) and it was obvious to us that we hit on a strong need, so we’ve been working hard on improving everything about the product. Investor Scout is Investor Hunt 2.0 (we’ve re-branded from “Hunt” to “Scout”). Since our 1.0 almost 200 companies like Rip Van Wafels and The Family have used Investor Hunt. For our 2.0 we’ve completely revamped the UI, updated our dataset (we’re also halfway through another massive dataset update that we’ll be launching this year), and built out a more sophisticated system for saving investors & exporting their contact info. Like our 1.0, investors are categorized by what they’re likely to invest in next (based on their interests and what they’ve already invested in). The dataset includes emails (almost 30k), phone numbers, investor tags, past investments, the company they work for, and social media profiles. Investor Scout plans start at $69/mo, but we’ve made a special 50% off forever lifetime discount code for early adopters on Product Hunt: ‘EARLYADOPTERS’. This code expires this week. 🙂 We’d love feedback––thanks for reading this 🙏 - Matt & Aaron

Is there a free trial? Interesting idea however with AngelList I guess you've got to come up with a different approach.

We’ve been working hard on this all throughout the holidays so we’re really excited to share it with you 🤩

how does this compare to the free resource from NFX at https://signal.nfx.com/login

Yes! This needed to be made. 🙌

Love it. Is there data on who leads seed rounds, how active they are, check size?

Rather than using the full text search to filter by categories / tags, etc, I would like some filters for industry / area of interest. Also if I could easily see the companies previously invested in, their industries and size of rounds, I would better know who to approach I think.

Pros:

LOTS of VCs. LOTS of emails. Full text search is very sensitive.

Cons:

Don't know of any better VC list. One improvement could be other ways to filter the results.

Sorry in advance for my English - I write with the help of an interpreter. I subscribed to this site today, the site is made very high quality, there is really a lot of useful content and contacts of investors from around the world! Unfortunately, I did not find useful contacts for myself, because my region (Russia) is not popular for investors from all over the world. fortunately for me, the service agreed to return the funds without any questions and wished good luck. I regret that in my region will not be able to use this site, I want to wish the service to develop and accumulate more investors around the world. I will be happy to return and use the services of the site in the future. Thank you Matt for understanding and quick solution of my situation and refund for subscription.

Pros:

A lot of investor contacts, convenient search and many opportunities

Cons:

Collect even more contacts from around the world

I’ve actually been looking for something like this. This is pretty neat. Glad you guys created such a useful tool 👍 I’ll definitely give you guys feedback while I use

Killer product Matt. Super helpful!

Great update - and much more refined over last year's version (at first glance at least). Will review further - but well done guys!

Excellent service - highly recommend for any entrepreneurs raising early stage capital!

Pros:

Incredible value - delivered 100+ relevant investor emails in minutes.

Cons:

Can't think of any, excellent service and value!

Absolutely bad product - Total waste of time. Gave me 30% bounce rate even for emails that say "verified" - On top of that, they refused to coordinate to get me a refund and kept mentioning to us to read their "Refund Policy" and Terms of Service online when they had none. NOT Recommended at all.

I have not tried yet, but idea is sounds cool. From my previous startup I remember how it was difficult to find all relevant investors with their contacts.

Is this like Glassdoor for investors???

Amazing!!! Is there any free trial like for few days or weeks?

I am writing this negative review as documentation of my repeated attempts to cancel in case they charge my card and I am forced to dispute. They don't publish an email address either.

Pros:

Lots of emails. Useful for people who work in startup financing.

Cons:

There is no way to cancel the subscription.

Hi @juhaszhenderson we currently have a subscription which we would like to cancel as we are not fundraising at the moment. there is no option on the dashboard to do it. can you help us out ?

@juhaszhenderson answer on email about refound. This does not serios. I am wait 10 days for it

Looks good! Thanks for sharing.
