How do you find angel investors without a 400-row sheet?

Most "investor lists" are a scrape: a public directory plus whoever you follow, 400 rows, almost no replies. The work is not collecting names. It is matching: who writes a first check, in your sector, at your stage, in the last year.

What I do instead of growing the sheet:

1. Start from recent first-checks in your sector, not logos

2. Drop anyone who has not written a pre-seed or angel check in 12 months

3. Only then outreach, and only with a reason they would care

That filter is the whole product. Round Funded matches founders to 60k+ investors by stage and sector so the first send is 50 names, not 400.
