Looking for the right investor? Look no further!
I'm excited to introduce findfunding.vc - the most accurate early stage investor database.
Every founder asks the same question: Who should I raise from?
To streamline this process, we open sourced our internal VC database yesterday with the goal of making it easier
for founders to find the right investors
for our fellow VCs to find great co-investors
To get to great accuracy, we had asked our fellow investors to validate their entries prior to launch with the goal of creating the most accurate database of early-stage investors (pre-seed to Series B) in the US and Canada.
We couldn't be more excited to have launched it and wanted to thank everyone who's already validated their entry / who shares the database with founders looking to raise a funding round.

❓FAQ
What is it? An open source database of early-stage (pre-seed to Series B focused) VCs in the US and Canada.
What makes it open source? VCs are validating and verifying their profiles themselves, with various verification checks and balances to ensure high quality.
Why is this better than what’s already out there today? While there are lots of lists and databases on the internet, we found that the accuracy was lacking and/or there was too much friction via paywalls and dataset gatekeepers. By making it openly available and letting everyone update their own data, we're increasing the accuracy by the day to make it the most accurate one out there.
🛠️How to use the database:
Founders:
You can both (1) search by firm name and (2) filter by the categories that matter to you
Dive deeper on any investor by viewing their profiles
When using the database, we have one ask: If you find it useful, please share it with a friend!
Investors:
If your firm is missing, please add your record here. Link is also on the website
To edit / verify your entry, click your firm and then “update entry” in the top right
